Is there a simple way to do this? Also, is there a simple way to implement ShareThis within a product page?

Hello.

You should be able to use a lightbox web part for this purpose: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/image_gallery_available_web_parts.htm, if you configure its properties like Path, Document type and Transformation. You can examine this web part and its properties also on our sample Corporate site, on /Examples/Webparts/Listings and viewers/Lightbox page.

As for ShareThis, since this is a third party component, could you send some details about it? I am not familiar with it. I found some info on google, but I would like you to describe what do you mean (some link would be useful). Anyway, there is a forum thread to this topic, so please refer to it: http://devnet.kentico.com/Forums.aspx?forumid=43&threadid=9002

Hi Radek,

Thanks for the response. Where can I see the corporate site example you are referring to? Also, does this only apply to v5 or to v4.1 as well. Another quick question, as I have now renewed by support agreement and have access to v5, how difficult is it to convert and existing 4.1 ecommerce soultuion to v5? I noticed there seems to be some new ecommerce product types which allow specification of color and size that I do not recall seeing in v4.1. I know my client would want this. She would like to go live by April 1, so I still have to configure paypal for her, hope this is fairly straight forward or I may have to post thru support to get some assistance. If there is a detailed document and/or tutorial you could recommend it would be appreciated.

Thanks again,

Gary

Hello.

You can install Corporate site web site template in Site Manager -> Sites -> New site wizard. Here please select „Use web site template“ -> Corporate site. Yes, you can use lightbox gallery web part in 4.1 version as well. As for converting sites - it depends on how much customization you have done and if you changed our default solution somehow, but when using standard solution, there should be no problem – you can use appropriate upgrade package and follow instructions inside (http://www.kentico.com/Downloads/Updates/KenticoCMS_4_1_to_5_0.zip). As for e-commerce documentation, you can find it here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/ecommerceguide/index.html
