RE:Message board for media Gallery Files
Hi Mehdi,

Thank you for your message.

So basically you want each media gallery file to have its own comment section where users are allow to comment on it?

The message board is not suited for this because it is bounded to the page, not media file. Either "Show for document type" will not be any help here because it is a visibility condition based on document types (media file is not a document type) and its purpose is not to distinguish files.

Sorry for the inconviniences.

Let us know if you have any other question.

Kind regards,

Richard Sustek

Hi,

There is no webpart for such functionality -> You would need to create your own webpart which you would need to code yourself and then register in the Repeater transformation of the Media files.

If you are unable to code it yourself please refer to our consulting -> http://www.kentico.com/Purchase/Price-List/Consulting

We are sorry for the inconviniences, however the CMS cannot have all the features built in and some of them need to be coded manually.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek

RE:Message board for media Gallery Files
When you display your media files on a page you use a transformations. Inside a transformation for a single file is where you could code a form for comments to be submitted and/or list of comments submitted for a particular media file.

For example if you have a repeater and inside the item template you have one media file. So based on that media file ID you'll get a list of comments made for that media file ID. You can also submit commends based on that same media file ID. Its a matter of knowing some advanced programming that a typical content editor or even advanced content editor may not know.

Hi,

Unfortunately we as a standart support cannot provide you with a step by step tutorial of how to code your own webpart. For such purposes we have our consultants which will indeed guide you step by step so please if you need the functionality consider contacting them.

Kind regards,
