I have it up and running on our intranet so I can't really show you what it looks like but it adds a lot being able to expand the content on the site by having sub-tabs. -----Original Message----- From: Jesse Murray [mailto:Click here to reveal e-mail address] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2002 8:40 AM To: aspngibuyspy Subject: [aspngibuyspy] Multi Level tab and menu driven portals Can anyone recommend examples of portals driven by mutli level tabs and/or menus?

Ion Richard, Yes, this is a very nice product and produces some good results. But I think the price is a tad high - compare what you get with - say - the CrystalReports product. I'm comparing the source code price of $799 for source code that is still restricted (!) with the CrystalReports developer version - a mature product that I can use time and again.

Please understand that I am not here to defend or endorse the ASPNetMenu license agreement. You are exactly right that $799.00 is a lot of money for source code (IMO) for a menu, but only if you just get source. Their Source option is not just source; it is the source and three Server licenses (3 @ $299: <http://www.aspnetmenu.com/pricing.aspx> read more...). I see the source option as a way to protect your investment/product similar to that of an escrow account, but you actually own the code without having to wait for the company to stop doing business. Not a bad idea having the source for protection.As for the cost and restrictions, please refer to their website's Why Offer the Source Code? <http://www.aspnetmenu.com/pricing.aspx> for any explanation. It is your call to purchase the source or not. I chose not to purchase the source and purchased just the server license ($299) to use on my production server for the unlimited websites option. The reason that I have is that our portal product can be run from one server for unlimited sites 'by design'. The folks at Cyberakt have been more that receptive to discussing and explaining their licensing agreement and that is one more reason I bought their product. When looking for a menu product, I did not want to build one as there were many good choices available (e.g. COALESYS). My choice just happened to be ASPNetMenu at the time for my needs. I had no problem paying for the server license as it saved me the time (testing and design work) that would surely have 'cost' me way more to design than $299. After all, isn't that why we buy controls? While I was developing our portal code, Cyberakt released version 1.03. I see this as cooperative development at its best. I agree that to grow your own is more rewarding (time and dollars), but my time is more valuable at this stage of product development. That is why I chose to purchase the control. This particular control is one of many controls that I have purchased over my career on many different platforms and I intend on purchasing more where I see fit. I believe the creators of 'good' controls are just an extension of my business which translates into a better product for my customer. Isn't that what Crystal is, a control. In disguise, isn't that what the IBuySpy portal is? Just a tool to help get us going, a real jumpstart. You may already know this, but when you look deeper into Crystal Report's Distribution License Model you will see that it allows 5 concurrent users (included in VS.NET), which translates to about 50 casual users according to Crystal's tech support information. BTW- Crystal is a product that I have used since version 2.0 (I know, I'm old *smile*) and I use and love it very much at my clients. I actually have Crystal Reports.NET Reports running inside the portal at www.mifflinbroncos.com <http://www.mifflinbroncos.com/> for the Reporting Module Tab behind some of those protected tabs that hidden by the menu and portal security. I apologize for being so long-winded; I'll come up for air now *smile*. As always, I welcome and encourage any replies. --Rick Richard J. Chapman President CHAPMAN SOFTWARE INC.

I believe the creators of 'good' controls are just an extension of my business which translates into a better product for my customer. Isn't that what Crystal is, a control. In disguise, isn't that what the IBuySpy portal is? Just a tool to help get us going, a real jumpstart. You may already know this, but when you look deeper into Crystal Report's Distribution License Model you will see that it allows 5 concurrent users (included in VS.NET), which translates to about 50 casual users according to Crystal's tech support information. BTW- Crystal is a product that I have used since version 2.0 (I know, I'm old *smile*) and I use and love it very much at my clients. I actually have Crystal Reports.NET Reports running inside the portal at www.mifflinbroncos.com for the Reporting Module Tab behind some of those protected tabs that hidden by the menu and portal security. I apologize for being so long-winded; I'll come up for air now *smile*. As always, I welcome and encourage any replies. --Rick Richard J. Chapman President CHAPMAN SOFTWARE INC.

But I think the price is a tad high - compare what you get with - say - the CrystalReports product. I'm comparing the source code price of $799 for source code that is still restricted (!) with the CrystalReports developer version - a mature product that I can use time and again.

To get back on track, I believe Jesse's original question was he was looking for examples of portal menus. My point in this 'Multi Level tab..' thread was to show that you can replace the IBuySpy DataList menu with 'something of your choice', homegrown or bought. I found using the datalist for menus was limited for us (although it was a great start) and we just found a different way to produce a menu. We were actually running out of real estate for our menu items using the datalist. Multi-rows just didn't cut it. Personally I have enjoyed seeing the examples that the group has posted as it really shows us some great ideas and different ways in which menus can be accomplished all using the same IBuySpy portal 'base' code. I hope to see more examples posted of portals in this thread. Thanks again, Rick Richard J. Chapman President CHAPMAN SOFTWARE INC.

Please understand that I am not here to defend or endorse the ASPNetMenu license agreement. You are exactly right that $799.00 is a lot of money for source code (IMO) for a menu, but only if you just get source. Their Source option is not just source; it is the source and three Server licenses (3 @ $299: read more...). I see the source option as a way to protect your investment/product similar to that of an escrow account, but you actually own the code without having to wait for the company to stop doing business. Not a bad idea having the source for protection.As for the cost and restrictions, please refer to their website's Why Offer the Source Code? for any explanation. It is your call to purchase the source or not. I chose not to purchase the source and purchased just the server license ($299) to use on my production server for the unlimited websites option. The reason that I have is that our portal product can be run from one server for unlimited sites 'by design'. The folks at Cyberakt have been more that receptive to discussing and explaining their licensing agreement and that is one more reason I bought their product. When looking for a menu product, I did not want to build one as there were many good choices available (e.g. COALESYS). My choice just happened to be ASPNetMenu at the time for my needs. I had no problem paying for the server license as it saved me the time (testing and design work) that would surely have 'cost' me way more to design than $299. After all, isn't that why we buy controls? While I was developing our portal code, Cyberakt released version 1.03. I see this as cooperative development at its best. I agree that to grow your own is more rewarding (time and dollars), but my time is more valuable at this stage of product development. That is why I chose to purchase the control. This particular control is one of many controls that I have purchased over my career on many different platforms and I intend on purchasing more where I see fit. I believe the creators of 'good' controls are just an extension of my business which translates into a better product for my customer. Isn't that what Crystal is, a control. In disguise, isn't that what the IBuySpy portal is? Just a tool to help get us going, a real jumpstart.
