How to add new items from live site?
I was wondering is it possible to add an item, of custom document type, from live site?

For example, on one page, I have a datalist with items of my custom document types. I would like that registered users on my website can add new items to that list, but from live site, without going to CMS desk.

Is that somehow possible? I tried playing with permissions and roles, but I am not sure if I am on the right track...any help is welcome :)

Cheers

Hello,

you could use the User contribution. Please see here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/user_contributions_overview.htm for more details.

Best regards,

Yes...that could be useful...but I am on a professional license so I can't use it at the moment...

Is there any workaround?

Yes, you can create a custom web part and use Kentiko API to put the records into the database.

For example I already created a web part that allows user to post blog posts from the front-end (this is impossible in free or professional versions, because front-end blog editor functionality requires the contribution module, like in your case)

This task will require some C#(or VB.NET) / ASP.NET knowledge.
