4.0 BETA contain the support for Silverlight?

Neil Ulrich commented on

Also, on events... reoccuring events, like every tuesday for next 3 months.

Chris W commented on

Great product, we are very happy with Kentico. One addition that would be nice is if the CMS Events supported multi-day events. When we have events that go for 3 days, I have to create 3 separate Events and then only publish one of them...

how to use keticocms 4.0

Petr Palas commented on

To Keith: Sure, there's lots of ways how commercial sites can leverage social networking tools (and I mean tools like blogs, forums, polls, wiki, message boards, groups or friends). Commercial sites can build on-line communities of their clients, get feedback on the products they sell and inform them about upcoming events. This site is a good example of how a company can use social networking tools in their business. You can find many articles on the Internet - e.g. http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/closing-the-gap/social-networking-systems-and-wikis-engage-the-social-customer-2073.

To Frans: Yes, the support for Silverlight is already available in BETA. Petr Vozak writes about it in his blog here: http://devnet.kentico.com/Blogs/Petr-Vozak/November-2008/Kentico-CMS-supports-Silverlight-2-0.aspx. He will publish the second part soon.
