DotNetNuke

Minimize

DotNetNuke is a content management system (CMS) for websites, easy to use and highly extensible, with lots of add on modules.

One of my customers made me use Joomla. After suffering with that for three years, I was not motivated to look into another CMS, especially since I had written my own Asp.net framework, which of course I loved (and want to port to DotNetNuke).

After peering at DotNetNuke for a year, I finally gave it a try and immediately saw how powerful and easy to use it was. Have been moving my customers' and my websites to it since.

Mistakenly entered the wrong SuperUser account username and email address when installing DotNetNuke and immediately forgot what I entered.

Went into Sql Managment Studio to find out what it was and surprisingly I found the username and email address in two different tables. They are the Asp Membership table and a DotNetNuke User table. Hmm, that seems like a violation of the first rule of database design, do not duplicate the same information in different tables.

Note that I prefix all my DotNetNuke tables with "dnn_".

If you want to change the username and email address, here is where they are:

  1. dbo.aspnet_Users
  2. dbo.dnn_Users

I can understand wanting to have your own userid key column that is an integer and not a guid like in the asp dot net membership provider. I have done the same thing.

Why duplicate the other information though.

Well it is there twice and you are going to have to deal with it if you write code or go into the tables directly.
