Setting up an image gallery (among a few other things)
Hi there;
I'm a Kentico CMS newbie and could use some help to understand a few things. I'm comming from DotNetNuke and even though Kentico is very firendly and intuitive i couldn't figure something out yet.
I will post a few of my many questions here and hope somebody can point me to a direction.
A) All portals I'm planning to migrate has an image rotator on the home page. On DNN i use ASP Slideshow (http://www.aspslideshow.com), is there something similar to Kentico or i have to build my own from scratch?
B) Is there a built in functionality to integrate it with Google Analytics?
C) Is there a way to switch the entire look and feel of the website as we can do with DNN, just changing the default skin?
D) Let's say i setup a website for a radio station, can i export this setup and use as a template to create other radio station websites? Something to make it easyer to deploy, so i don't have to start from ground up everytime.
E) Let question for now. While playing around with the free version i couldn't get a image gallery working (and it's essential for all my portals as well).
I end up with a blank page. Here is what i did:
1- Under the root item i select "New" and "Page (menu item)" 2- I named it "Galleries" and select the template "List of galleries" 3- Right click on the new page (Galleries) and select new "Image gallery" 4- I gave it a name, description and Teaser image. 5- Right click on the new "Image gallery" and select "New/File" 6- Added files (one by one)
When o go back to the "Galleries" page, it's empty. So, I'm probably doing it the wrong way, right? Also, do i have to upload pcitres one by one? Isn't there a way to upload all of them without using an FTP client?
Thanks in advance.
