Is the following possible?
Hi

I'd like to know if the following scenario is possible using Kentico.

As an example if I created a new document type called 'Actor' which has details like actorName, dateOfBirth, description etc.

I also have created a new document type called 'Studio' which has details like studioName, studioAddress, description etc.

Now when I create a new Document type called 'Movie" (which has details like movieName, year, synopsis etc) I want to be able to choose (from a list actors and studio's already added to the CMS) from the already added actors and studios that relate to that particular movie. I want the actors/studios name to show on the movie page as a link to their own page. There will obviously be more than one actor per movie and sometimes more than one studio.

I guess what I am asking is can a document type be created to add/include content from a different document type as a link to itself.

Hope that makes sense. Your response is most appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. I would recommend you to create custom form control that will get data (actors, studios) from the database. Could you please see our Developer's guide for more information about developing form controls?
