Modules

 |
|
Modules are add-ons to the Content Management System (modular pieces of code) that each present some functionality to the user, like a personnel contacts list, events calendar, or a list of announcements. The DotNetNuke portal comes with a wide variety of modules, each designed to manage a common type of website or portal content.
Typically, several content modules are grouped on a page to create a web page. Modules can be added, edited, deleted, restored, moved around on a page, or transfer to another page. |
Besides the Core modules that are part of every default DotNetNuke installation, there is also a wide range of (non-core, non-commercial) free modules and enhancements to modules available from the websites of DotNetNuke community members
The third source of non-core modules (or add-ons to the CMS as you may call them) are the growing number of online businesses who provide commercial modules for sale and .net programmers who offer custom module development.

In "skinning" a site, administrators can completely change the look of their portal without the need to reorganize content – all at the click of a button. |
A skin is the design applied to the standard DotNetNuke portal to change the layout and design. A skin package is a zip file that includes the HTML layout, images, and may also include a stylesheet. A skin package must be uploaded to your File Manager and can be globally added or removed on the Site Settings tab, or under the Tab Settings of each tab. |
