How to Show/Hide products for different cultures and make lookup tables that are localisable

Hi,

I've just tried out the CorporateASPX site and was wondering if there's any interface to hide Products (Document types) based on culture (ie I have some products that are only available for certain cultures). Users might translate and then need to hide afterwards.

Also to reduce translation overhead, are there any global lookup tables that are in the CMS that can be defined and localised (eg. product colour), that can then be referenced by the product (in that culture)?

thanks in advance

Hi Chad,

1. if you set in CMSSiteManager -> Settings -> Site: <choose your site> -> Web Site -> Combine With Default Culture: NOT then the untranslated documents will not be hidden.

2. if you translate the document but do not want to make it visible on the live site please use the Publish from field of that document while creating. Set it to eg. year 2100. Then you could whenever change it and publish it.

3. you could use the Attribute default values of that document types. You could use there a localization macro expressions – it values the expression according the User interface.
Please see here for more information about macro expressions: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_a___macro_expressions.htm
