Does DotNetNuke have anything similar to Drupal's CCK?

Question

I'm building a content website whose basic elements are not just plain text but rather structures containing multiple fields. I want it to be based on open source CMS so that I can extend/tweak it as I wish.

Drupal's CCK module gives me exactly what I need, and I'm trying to understand if I can get this capability with DNN (or do I have to code it myself). Most of the developers in my company work in .NET languages to there's a significant advantage for me to work with DNN.

Answer 1

You might look into one of the following DNN modules:

• DNN Content Builder
• DNNMasters Content Builder Pro 2.x with Ajax

The second of these looks like the more powerful but, unlike the first, is not free.

Answer 2

The simple answer, in, 2011, is no, even with special modules, there's nothing that rivals Drupal's CCK / Fields API in DNN.

The Tab->Module approach is fundamentally flawed in this respect.
