pathetic….while asp.net does this, it does not mean any cms should
DNN Changes ID’s within templates to add “dnn_” prefix, for example: “mydiv” becomes “dnn_mydiv”, meaning your xhtml layout using id’s will break!, they recommend using classes for layout panes…. 
Caching – having to implement our own caching to fix dnn’s silly caching is jut not fun. Bloated – from the JS and HTML output, through to the core architecture and SQL Server sprocs, it just seems a huge tangled mess that is just running….not well though…with bugs left unfixed for years, implementation still todo…. Modules – While docs are provided, it requires a module for basic user interface features. Take for instance code behind, well on DNN forums, they recommend keeping code within the template itself, rather than as a separate code behind file, back to good old classic asp mixed html soup. Skinning – Antiquated and tedious to create skins. Community Support – not typical open source, seems guarded around their product in order to _sell_ more support. Documentation – or quality of it, lacking, no API in one area, bits scattered. Customisation and Developmentĭeveloping for it….omg, this is probably the worst thing about it (though it has so many bad qualities, its hard to pick which one is worse)…developing skins the DNN way is slow and tedious, other CMS’s such as Umbraco and ModX for instance have excellent templating systems using masterpages, xslt to perform advanced user interface designs. 
In other modern CMS’s, content can be structured within a hierachy, with access to pages via aliases or id’s to link to another page on the site from within content (from anywhere) to another content page….DNN….egads….what a joke. DNN has an In-Place editing where content can be edited on the page, however this is the *only* means to edit content… Content Structuring It seems that the design is somewhat tightly coupled with the content editing. AdministrationĪdministering DNN sites, with the ugly vanilla admin interface that looks like its 10 years old, it’s slow to work with. Installing DNN sometimes does not always work…errors galore throughout different parts of the installation for example 5.1.2 (or 5.2.1 doesnt matter exactly, many versions have install problems)…if one thing works, another doesnt, and so on…. From the time you download it, to actually start using it, you start to notice how poor it is…ĭNN Site itself is sloooow….granted many users possibly Installation
