Finding the right software firm to help you build and maintain your systems can be quite the challenge. Typcially, it is who you know. "I know a guy who does development. Let me ask him if he can help/let me ask him who he'd recommend." But, what is the right method for evaluating whether your guy's recommendation is the right fit for your company?

Engage CTO, Brian Dukes, is heading to the DNN Connect conference in Switzerland to join the panel of guest speakers.

Since acquiring SMB Creative Group in Jan 2020, the team has been super busy and has built new partnerships - Catholic Faith Technologies and Aware3.

SMB, now under Engage, already had many religious clients.

Within your DNN site, each module has a menu for MODULE SETTINGS.  You access the module settings by going into edit mode and then on the module, hover over the gear wheel of the module and click on settings. Learn more about the different settings and what you do with them.

In order to edit existing content, you need to have editing access to the site.  That will either be an Adminstrator role or a specific content editor type role.  If you need editing access, you will have to reach out to your site's manager. Step 1 - Login Step 2 - Navigate to the page you want to edit, then click on the edit pencil icon in the lower left corner

DNN has the ability to assign roles to users, to create business-specific roles, and show/hide content based on those roles.  The three basic roles are Administrators, Registered Users, and Subscribers.  Administrators are your web experts who need access to the back end of things.  There is also Host/SuperUser access, which should be reserved for the website builder and expert developers.

We are going to cover Page Settings, Page Appearance and Page Permissions within DNN platform. The Licensed version, Evoq, has slightly different options, but the basics are the same. To access a page's settings, you can hover over the CONTENT icon and then click on Pages.

How do you add new content to a page?  DNN has two methods depending on if you are creating something from scratch or if you have a pattern that you want to mimic.   From scratch - you would choose the "ADD NEW MODULE" option Mimic a pattern - pick "ADD EXISTING MODULE" Here are the steps to do both.

DNN is a secure website platform, but no CMS stays secure without regular updates. A cautionary tale and what you can do to protect your website from being hacked.

Engage is excited to announce that we have acquired SMB Creative Group and its Connecting Members platform. Additionally SMB Creative’s entire team will join the team at Engage. Welcome SMB Creative Group to the Engage Software family!
