How to add global content blog in cmsms 2.2.2

[rahulu]

Hi Everyone,

I am little confused about the use of global content block in the new version of cmsms.

Please suggest.

Hi,

It depends on your goal. Do you want it to be editable by your customer(s) or do you want to use them for 'templating'?

Customer editable: https://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/introduc ... table-gcbs

For templating, you don't want editors to be able to change it. Just create a template in Desing Manager of type Core::Generic. Note that you won't have a WYSIWYG editor available here. This should not be needed for a web dev.

You can then include this 'generic template' in other (page) templates with the following tag:

Code: Select all

{include file='cms_template:TEMPLATE_NAME'}

In case of editing by editors, you can also use http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/cgsc module

For template purposes I would suggest you forget about the GCB's and read this post instead http://cms.ms/AJ02 Template Inheritance is really great and much more flexible!!

grtz. Rolf
