Same page in several places

Hello, I'm planing to run a moderately large site on cmsms, but we want to use the same page at several places in the site structure.

For example we have a tree of product pages and several entry pages, that are customised for different "customer classes". Now we want to add the relevant product in separate trees based on customer class. But we want to update the page in one place

Has anyone solved this problem already or do I need to make a hack/plugin.


Thanks for a nice system

Have you made a look at GCB (Global Content Blocks)?

No, I haden't, put I took one. As I understand them (the documentation[1] is a bit thin on them :-) they are more of a macro system, and I would have to create several pages that only contains reference to the GCB. Perhaps workable for me but I doubt that my users will get it right :-(

Just a quick note, I have looked at links, and they solve the basic problem of puting the content at several places in the menus but thay mess up the navigation for the user.

Best regards
