DNN- 09.13.03 DNN Comm Forum - 8.1.1  (Thanks for all your hard work on keeping this current john henley and will strohl )

Trying to understand how permissions/users and mapping is accomplished for the fourm so as to avoid issues when switching domain aliases

 

I have site in progress  for client at xyz.com mapped as primary. After completion the site will have a primary domain of ABC.ORG During Testing I have attached ABC.ORG as an alias. When I log on to ABC.ORG and attempt to use forum (I have admin permissions inplace for account) the forum redirects/logs me off to xyz.com. I have set up a new user/role/permissions for accessing the fourm. It will be semi private.  The user accounts appear in both domains.  Currenlty users are playing around with the fourm and inserting content that needs to be kept. I see in the database that posts are shown based on Portal ID and Module ID. I don't understand how the domains and aliases are mapped. I wish to avoid problems when I change abc.org to primary.

. Thanks G_Papadopolis

G_Papadopolis, 

The forums will use the primary portal alias. Domain portion of the URL is not stored and is always re-generated, so if you change the primary, it will be used from that point forward.

These Forums are dedicated to the discussion of DNN Platform.

  1. If you have (suspected) security issues, please DO NOT post them in the forums but instead follow the official DNN security policy. 
  2. No Advertising. This includes the promotion of commercial and non-commercial products or services which are not directly related to DNN.
  3. No vendor trolling / poaching. If someone posts about a vendor issue, allow the vendor or other customers to respond. Any post that looks like trolling / poaching will be removed.
  4. Discussion or promotion of DNN Platform product releases under a different brand name are strictly prohibited.
  5. No Flaming or Trolling.
  6. No Profanity, Racism, or Prejudice.
  7. Site Moderators have the final word on approving / removing a thread or post or comment.
