Missing community templates
Hi,
We just installed a demo version of Kentico. During our build of the demo site, I notice that we are missing the Community and Personal site templates and 'web part containers'. There seem to be Community web parts though.

I'm wondering if I need to reinstall, or download and install some extra file to get the Community stuff into our demo site? Did I miss ticking a box or something during the install?

Thanks,
Steevee

PS - Kentico rocks!

RE:Missing community templates
Hello.

Both web templates are part of standard installation. Could you please check your <web project>\App_Data\Templates folder for 2 directories - PersonalSite and CommunitySite? If they are here, you can install them using Site Manager -> Sites -> New site wizard -> Use web site template.

If these directories are not there, I have sent you zip package by e-mail. You need to unzip it and place them under <web project>\App_Data\Templates folder.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik

RE:Missing community templates
Thanks for replying. I do have both directories where you say they should be.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding, what I want to do is add community functionality to an already existing site, not create a new one.

I tried installing another site using the community templates, in the hope that the templates and webparts would be added to all sites - well, they were added but only to the commuinity site. I can go into each item in the site manager and add each one manually to our demo site, but is there a way to just import the templates and things into an allready-existing site?

Thanks

RE:Missing community templates
Hello.

If you mean only community web parts and templates, they are global objects, so they are site independent. If you want to use them for a different site than Community sample site only, you need to assign them to a particular site.

This can be done in Site Manager -> Development -> Page templates or Web parts section.
