i've the latest version 1.5.1 and i had a question and i think i had the solution following the suggestions from this topic:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 184.0.html
so i needed unique GCB on each page as i didnt want to continually keep on creating new templates just to have different GCB code every time so i thought i get unique and do this:
Code: Select all
{global_content name='{$page_alias}'}
however it keeps on spitting out:
Code: Select all
string(61) "Smarty error: unable to read resource: "globalcontent:{staff"" '}
so i went back to make sure my page and GCB name were the same
and it was
Code: Select all
3 Staff normalleftblank Content admin
any clues?

IF you want different content per page, then you could better call a second content-block in the template, to get a second edit-area, while editing a page...

I second that. Concerning how you call the GCB, I thing it needs to be
Code: Select all
{global_content name=$page_alias}
instead of
{global_content name='{$page_alias}'}
Or am I wrong? But as Ronny said, if you you want to add unique content to each page, what's wrong with additional content blocks?
Code: Select all
{content block="name_of_second_block"}

Try out this:

That should give you an overview of what's available... check the other pages of the documentation wiki as well. They will provide a lot of answers to many questions you may have. Using google to search the forum is also a very effective way to find solutions. Try to search documentation and forum before posting

i do very often for most of my answers
that page share_your_tags is the first time i finally see the content on it
fyi: on google chrome share_your_tags_here page is just a big blank page, and you've to scroll half-way down the little scrollbar to see content, just to let you know
