Dot Net Nuke Architecture
Components:
–Web pages
–Web pages can belong to different sites i.e multiple sites can be hosted using a single install of DNN (i.e single web application framework)
( you can keep content, roles, and user permissions separate for each of these sites)
–Modules i.e. mini applications inside pages (the same module can be utilized in different web-pages of the same or different sites)
–Service API
–Web Application Framework
–ASP.Net Web Forms
–Web API
–Web Server (IIS)
–Database (MS SQL Server)
–Microsoft Windows Server Operating System
Note:
EVOQ Social is a system that utilizes (extends) the DNN platform, and gives you a social community creation and engagement opportunity.
EVOQ Content is another system on top of DNN to utilize rich media to create impressive user experience and to give you more control on content management, publishing, approving, content quality control/mangement. Evoq Content provides additional modules for DNN for content management and creating impressive user experience. Reference: http://www.cantarus.com/dnn-evoq-content
Remember:
“In July 2013, DotNetNuke Professional Edition was renamed Evoq Content.[5] In addition, DotNetNuke Enterprise Edition was renamed Evoq Content: Enterprise.” Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DotNetNuke
On top of DNN Web Application Framework, you can develop modules, you can also use provider to replace the core modules. Using the DNN Service API you can integrate your DNN to external services and applications.
Design Choices for DNN
You can use plain HTML skins
You can also use default ASP.Net controls (ASP.Net) for the user interface i.e “using ASCX user controls, which is the native format for the DNN platform.”
Security Aspect of DNN
You can control user permissions up to module level (page level permission is there as well) i.e you can allow or restrict modules to the users.
Evoq solutions allow more granular level of permissions. As a module developer, you cab custom develop permissions for your module.
Security and Roles
DNN also utilizes Role based security. Rather than dealing with solely user based permissions, you can create Groups/Roles with the users and then assign permissions to those roles/groups (anyone inside that role/group will enjoy the same permissions)
Modular Page Layout Architecture
DNN page contents are also controlled by modules. Every page can be configured to be displayed using the skin layout as you wish.
DNN uses Module First Strategy instead of page first strategy. This module first strategy allows you to focus on modules first, then you can worry about where to display what based on what modules.
