Insert content from other pages

Hi, I'd like to know if this is possible



-> I have a page X with some content
-> I have a page Y with some content

I'd like to make another page, inserting both the contents of Y and X within the same page.
Is this possible? Maybe a global_content call or something I'm not aware of?

Thanks!

Have you tried contentaliases?

Maybe helps ...

I just tried but that doesn't do exactly what I want..
Maybe I'll use the global content stuff .. but that introduces complexity when it comes to others editing the site

I would like to find something similar too  The contentalias works a little different then what we're looking for.  Contentalias just makes another "page" that really just points to a different page. 

What we're looking for is something that works just like global_content_blocks, but instead of going into 'Content'->'Global Content Blocks' to edit the info, you'd just edit the page with all the other pages.  So on page X you could add something like:

{insert_page_content page='Y'}


And the content of page Y would be inserted into page x where that tag is located.  Is there anything like that available?

No, there's no current way of doing that, but it shouldn't be hard to write with a UDT or a plugin.

You'd just need functionality like what the detailpage stuff does (to resolve a name into a page id), then a bit of code to fetch the page contents.
