i started playing with template inheritance and am trying to move my default {content} block to a different tab (in admin).

the master has this:

Code: Select all

{block name="top"}
{content label="Main Content of Page - cannot be empty" assign=bigContentBlock}
{/block}

the below does not work, but it explains the idea (for sub-templates):

Code: Select all

{block name="top"}
{content label="Main Content of Page - cannot be empty" assign=bigContentBlock tab=options} 
{/block}

Is this at all possible?

In CMSMS 1 this is not possible as far as I know.

The 'problem' is that CMSMS requires every template to have at least the default content content block {content}.

So your 'base' template must include that. Every template that inherits from this base template can NOT override that default {content} block.

From what I've 'heard' CMSMS 2.0 - which is in beta now - does not require require the default content block, which makes it possible to 'declare' different setups of {content} for sub templates.

Though I'm interested in this possibility I did not test it yet myself.
