[SOLVED] std content block be used on multiple pages? NOT global content block

Post by mrjamie »

Hi,

Is there a way to duplicate content entered in one page, on another page without having to use global content blocks?

For example, I have multiple content blocks on my home page, and a couple of them need to be repeated on other pages. Usually I would use a global content block, but I was wondering, so save me accessing 2 areas of the CMS to update the home page, I could do it in one place, the home page edit section.

The duplicated content would not need to be edited in multiple places, just an insert in the template like you would a GCB.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks! :)

If you have an area in your template that is going to be the same in most if not all of the pages you can do it 2 ways...

1) Put it in the template...

2) Put a GCB in the template that has the info...

See the CGSimpleSmarty module, it has a function to extract the content out of a content block on any page.
