Case study · Manufacturing
Building a multilingual online windscreen designer and booking tool
A Dutch software company needed two DotNetNuke modules that would guide users through online windscreen configuration and booking while remaining compatible with DNN 4.x and supporting multiple languages.
- Client context
- A Dutch software development company
- designer and step menu
- 2 modules
- compatibility target
- DNN 4.x
- customer experience
- Multi-language
The operating constraints
What the project needed to address
- Two independently deployable DNN modules needed to interact reliably during configuration and step changes.
- Dynamic page content and email templates required administrator-controlled multilingual settings.
- The solution had to combine product design, preview, booking, orders, email and e-commerce functions.
Product scope
Two interacting modules for design, preview and booking
Built an integrated step-menu and design-module experience that let users configure windscreen size, colour, logos, text and descriptions, preview each step and complete a booking.
The step-menu module controlled navigation and showed a summary of each step. The design module let users configure size, colour, logos, text and descriptions, previewing the product before booking.
Because DNN modules could be added or removed independently, interaction between the modules required explicit handling. Client-side callback scripts coordinated saving and step changes. An administrator language selector controlled dynamic page content and email templates.
Implementation approach
Handle module interaction and dynamic language settings
Developed the primary design module and a companion step-menu module for navigation and summaries.
Used lightweight client-side callbacks to coordinate saving and step changes without complex flow control.
Added administrator language selection for dynamic web content and email templates.
Completed alpha testing and bug fixing across design, booking, ordering, email and data-access workflows.
