I'm working on porting an existing website to DNN, which is going well, except for what appears may be a tricky bit involving dynamically generated content. In the current site, staff profiles are stored and updated in an external application, and the HTML profile is pulled in through an iFrame. I have virtually unfetterd access to the data (not limited to an iFrame). The potentially tricky part comes from the fact that there is a strong preference within the team to use the native DNN search (although this is only a preference), and so 1) the content needs to be indexed by the native DNN search and 2) we need to be able to assign keywords to the indexed content for each profile in the hopes of guaranteeing that if someone searches for the staff name, the staff profile is the first result returned. I'm not completely clear on how DNN search works, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't "spider", so I'm not sure how I'd get it to index a single page containing a module that might pull in 150 different profiles, depending on the variable (staff id) passed to it. While I have a decent technical background, this is my first DNN project, so I apologize if I'm asking a question with an obvious answer. |
