Hey, I'm wanting to split my page-up into multiple sections that can be edited individually. Can someone give me some advice - or point me to a post where I can do this?? Thanks for your guidance.

From the help for the "content" plugin/tag in the SVN version of CMSMS:
What parameters does it take?
* (optional)block - Allows you to have more than one content block per page. When multiple content tags are put on a template, that number of edit boxes will be displayed when the page is edited.
Example:
{content block="Second Content Block"}
Now, when you edit a page there will a textarea called "Second Content Block".
* (optional)wysiwyg (true/false) - If set to false, then a wysiwyg will never be used while editing this block. If true, then it acts as normal. Only works when block parameter is used.
* (optional)oneline (true/false) - If set to true, then only one edit line will be shown while editing this block. If false, then it acts as normal. Only works when block parameter is used.
* (optional)assign - Assigns the content to a smarty parameter, which you can then use in other areas of the page, or use to test whether content exists in it or not.
Should get you started
Post back if you have problems and I'll try to explain further.

how would this be used? like a global content block?

I use it to assign the page content to a smarty variable and them pass it as a parameter to my table_of_contents User Defined Tag.
Example of how I use it:
Code: Select all
{content assign=pagecontent}
{table_of_contents thepagecontent="$pagecontent"}

Is there a way to do multi-sections within a page on the current stable release of CMSMS?

You mean multiple content blocks, like
{content block=top}
{content block=leftcolumn}
{content}
{content block=rightcolumn}
{content block=bottom}
then, the answer is yes.

Are you refering to the Global Content Blocks: {global_content name='whatever'}
I can't find {content block=whatever}

you know how the default templates have the content tag {content}
he's saying if you want to put more than one content 'box' in your template to make more content tags...
one of mine... from this template/page...
http://www.multiintech.com/index.php?pa ... ened_cells
{content block='newstitle' oneline='true'}
{content block='news'}
{content block='block1title' oneline='true'}
{content block='block1'}
{content block='contenttitle' oneline='true'} this is so i can have a diff. title other than the page title
{content} default content tag...
{content block='block2title' oneline='true'} this makes a one line content edit box, i put the title to the content block2 in here
{content block='block2'}
{content block='block3title' oneline='true'}
{content block='block3'}
{content block='block4title' oneline='true'}
{content block='block4'}
{content block='block5title' oneline='true'}
{content block='block5'}
{content block='block6title' oneline='true'}
{content block='block6'}

N/m, I was told by someone else.
If you add: {content block='newContent'} to the template it will create a new textbox to edit on the page edit page.
