2 Content Boxes, 1 Page [SORTED]

Post by BlueLaw »

Hi.

I have a CV page. Obviously when you go to edit the page there is just one editor box.

I want there to be a few, with titles like "Interests" and "Relevant Experience" and "Heigh, Age, Weight" - many different titles. Once you've filled out the page with your details it puts this information into a set template so it looks great on the page.

This must be easy, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to do it?

Whatever way, I want it to be pretty idiot proof, because it's going to be idiots filling out the CV. If they can easily delete some HTML, they will make a point of doing so.

What are the options to success!?

Many Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for front end or back end editing?

Backend.

There are Admins (Me) and there are Users (Him) - the user account is, like I say, very limited. So he can update a few pages, add news, but that's really it.

It's like, if I have 2 boxes that I want him to be able to edit the content of, but one is in the top-right corner and the other is in the bottom-left corner, with a whole lot of template in between, then how do I make both those boxes editable?

I don't mind if he has to fill out details on different pages, if there's a way of displaying say 2 content boxes on one page, displaying information from the different pages.

What do you think?

Just add a new content block in the template:

{* Start Content Area 2 *}

  Content 2 Title
  {content block="content2"}

This is just inspired.

Exactly right! Thanks so much for your help. I'm sure there was lots of information on this, but there are so many avenues with CMSMS I wasn't sure where to start.

ACHIEVED!
