Is it possible?
Hello,

We are a software company, and we are looking for a CMS program.

After reviewing your's if have a few questions.

1. Can I write a sql script writing to the DB created by KENTICO to add products, lets say cell phones, like in your portal example, and the site and CMS Desk will recognize it? If its possible were can I see all the dependencies that a cell-phone (or any other custom product type) have?

2. Is it possible to define that a certain type of products, lets say nokia's phone, will allways be displayed first (on the laft top corner of the grid) samsung will display to its right and so on? I want that each time a new nokia product will be posted it will apear first. Can it be done with your software?

3. Our main use to your program will be developing sites to our clients, and we will want them to be able to insert products data to the site through your software. Can i open a new user with diffrent permissions, suited to the client's site and needs, to each of my client?

Thanks

Hello,

you could rather use the trial version (http://www.kentico.com/Download/Trial-Version.aspx) instead of free edition because the trial provides all features.

1. You may insert products by ASP.NET code. We have a knowledge base article describing this functionality: http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/E-commerce/Products-import-from-external-source.aspx

2. You could use the Order by property of repeater and set it e.g. like:

ClassName,DocumentName

The document types should be called for example A Nokia, B Samsung so that the ordering would be clear.

3. Yes, you can use the permission system and configure it carefully. Please see here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/security_model.htm for some general information.


Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
