We contracted with a developer to build our site. We have two portals in DNN with plans for a third. Each portal is meant to service a different type of customer (one for US/Canada, one international, and another for custom products). We use Hotcakes to display products, but we sell through distributors, so we don't do any e-commerce.
With our current setup, we have two portals with different top-level domains for each, and with a third section of the site coming, we will end up with:
domain1.com
domain2.com
domain3.com
Hotcakes does allow us to have completely different set of products for each domain this way.
This does not seem optimal to me, however. I would rather have the aliases set up so we have:
domain1.com
domain1.com/international
domain1.com/eng-systems
We still want to have completely different products for each portal, though. I tried to create an alias for the international site so that it is a subdirectory (domain1.com/international) but Hotcakes only displays products for the main site this way.
I'm coming in to this project very late in the game, but it seems to me like this shouldn't be that hard to achieve. Can you provide any guidance on this?
Thanks.
