Hello,
I am running a DotNetNuke portal and am looking for advice on a third-party module that offers more features than the default login/registration process built into DNN. I am using this portal to build a panel of experts in select fields.
Overall, people who visit the portal need to be able to register (Verified), answer some profiling questions, and view/edit a subset of these profiling questions. I, the Administrator, need an easy way to run queries into the database, download it locally, and back it up.
I looked into this 18 months ago and nothing was available at that time that met my needs. I evaluated UCanUse by Golko Consulting and Dynamic Registration by DataSprings. Both fell a little short back in 2007. Here are my specific requirements:
1) Control over which fields are mandatory and which ones are optional.
2) Ability to add as many additional registration questions (fields) as I like. These could be single choice, multiple choice, numeric, or fill in the blank text questions.
3) Registered users have ability to sign in and view/modify/update some of their data. I need the ability to lock certain fields, like their email address, name, and user name so that those cannot be edited. They also have the ability to be removed from the panel.
4) The ability to set the email address as a primary index in the database so that any given email address can only be entered once.
5) This is critical. There must be an easy way for me to 1) export the database so that I can work with it locally in MS Access, 2) query the database online (less important if #1 is met), and 3) backup the database locally.
Thank you in advance for reading this LONG question!!! I am praying that something is out there that will do all of this. It is OK if I need to buy more than one module, as long as it is proven that they work together.
