Navigation across multiple sites
Hi,
I have a Kentico set-up with 7 sites. Each has it's own domain:
for example, www.abc.com, www.def.com, etc.

These sites are all part of an umbrella organization but have different URLs for political reasons (so I am told).

Problem: I need to build a navigation menu across the top of all templates using a UL List menu that includes the menu items from ALL 7 sites of the umbrella organization. I will also need to create a site map page that includes the menu items from ALL sites. How would I go about doing that? I am familiar with writing my own queries and transformations, but have not written my own Web Part. Is that required?

Thanks, Diane

RE:Navigation across multiple sites
Hi Diane,

In the menu web part and also for the site map web part, there is a field named "Site Name" - here you can select ONE site from the same CMS instance and the items from this site will be displayed. It is possible to select only one site, so this may not be enough for you or you will need to add 6 web parts.

The second option is to develop custom control/web part - http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/developing_web_parts.htm
