Newsletter
Hello

I need ideas on the best way to achieve the following. I would like to have Newsletters on my site with archive capability. Here is the desired hierarcy for the top menu:

Newsletters
-->2005
---->May 2005
---->Oct 2005
--2006
---->Jun 2006
---->Sep 2006
---->Dec 2006

Clicking on a month (eg Jun 2006), leads to a page with list of articles in the left menu and some content for the first page of the newsletter. Ideally there should be a breadcrumb:

Newsletters -> 2006 -> Jun 2006 -> Article1

Article1
Article2
Article3


I have tried playing with the article document type but when clicking on Jun 2006, for example, I don't see content for first page. Also, when the root option (Newsletters) is clicked, I see all the articles which is undesired.

Thanks.

Re: Newsletter
Hello,

if you want to display the first article when Jun 2006 is clicked, you need to change the type of the Page (menu item) Jun 2006 to "Page URL Address" and set the URL to the URL of the first article.

If you do not want to display all articles when Newsletters node is clicked, you may need to either set the SelectNodesMaxRelativeLevel property of the CMSRepeater to "1" or you need to write some simple code like this to check the current node level and hide the repeater:

if (Functions.GetCurrentDocument().GetValue("NodeLevel") == 1)
{
CMSRepeater1.Visible = false;
}

If you need any further details, please feel free to contact us at support@kentico.com.

Regarding your other question: Yes, there are several large, enteprise-level web sites built with Kentico CMS, such as www.gibson.com or www.ireland.ie. You can find a full list of reference web sites at http://www.kentico.com/showcase.aspx.

Best Regards,
