I would like to split up the homepage into 4 different 'zones' and post content to these from separate 'pages' within the admin. How do I add the relevant code to the home page template to make this happen.....or am I looking at this in the wrong way - is there an easier way to do this.


cheers

{content block="Zone 1"}
{content block="Zone 2"}
{content block="Zone 3"}
{content block="Zone 4"}

Add them to your template. Then when it comes to posting new content with that template you will have 4 boxes to fill in .

Yes, other infos.
Easier way are:
1. add other three {content block="zoneX"} to your template but edit all contents in home page
2. add other three {global_content name="zoneX"} and edit that contents in Global Content Block

If you want edit that contents from other pages, you must hack php code

Alby

There is also the module PageBlocks, that gives you the option to attach other pageblocks to a page. With this module you can re-use the content and dont have to edit all contentblocks that otherwise have to be edited....

GCB's is another option...
