New Group in Menu?
Hi,
I created a new group in CMS Desk | Tools | Group with Group page location: /Examples. I somewhat expected it to show up as subitem in "Example" menu (SorpSite sample). Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Jim

RE:New Group in Menu?
Hi,

I am not sure if I understand what you have expected. you can develop custom modules as described here - http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/custom_modules.htm.

Could you please be more specific what you want to achieve?

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:New Group in Menu?
Hi Juraj,

I created a new group in CMS Desk | Tools | Group (v4beta, sample Corporation Site).
There is an input box called "Group page location", the location has to be selected from content tree. I presumed that is for including the new Group in the Menu.
I selected document "/Examples" as Group page location.

- What is "Group page location"?
- What is the URL/path to a newly created Group?
- How do I include a Group into the website's menu? or
- How do I include the Group functionality into a page?

Thanks vm,
Jim

RE:New Group in Menu?
Hi Juraj,

in the meantime I also installed a website baesed on your "Community Starter Site". There I noticed quite a lot of group related pages which aparently hold/present the group functionality. Apparently I would have to add/design those pages with webparts/Community.Transformations in the "Corporate Site" starter pack as well in order to get that newly created CorpSite group working, right?

In the Community site I added a Poll to group "Asian travellers" by using the Manage-Group-Frontend. But this poll does not show up anywhere on Group profile or in the Group links. Do I have to create some new special page for this, too? I found no Community.Transformation or else for poll. Would you please give me some tips or point me to the appropriate (groups) documentation?

I presumed that the offered group functionality was already fully supported, point-and-shoot-way. Sorry.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

I am afraid but the Groups module is not fully implemented in the Beta version - http://devnet.kentico.com/Blogs/Petr-Palas/November-2008/Kentico-CMS-4-0-BETA-and-Changes-in-Licensing.aspx. There might be some bugs and the functionality is not complete. I am sorry for this inconvenience. In the final 4.0 release it should be working as expected.

Best Regards,
