Customisable Content

Hi All,

I would like to set up the following system with Kentico. My site has a right hand side panel which will have different panels. I would like to set it up so that the client will be able customise which panels will appear on each page. If the user doesn't make any selection, I would like it to either use the default panels or its parents panels.

This content for the panels then in turn I would like to be editable (maybe sitting in a special folder in the tree).

Does anybody know if there is anything already in Kentico that I can modify to work like this? Or what approach might be best?

Cheers,
John

RE:Customisable Content

Hi John,

we plan to add this functionality in one of the next versions within half of a year.

Meanwhile you would need a workaround.

You could create a form (BizForm), in which would be: what content should be placed in appropriate panels. There could be a possibility to insert a HTML formatted content, too. There would be a hidden field, in which would be saved the UserID. The BizForm saves the content to a custom table.

Then you could develop your own web part - right hand side panel (http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/developing_web_parts.htm). This web part would find the newest record of appropriate user and piece together the content of panel regarding this record.

You could add this functionality on your live site or allow the users the access to CMSDesk -> My Desk and add this functionality here.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
