alternative to editable text web part
Are there alternative to editable text web part?

There are any number of contacts block on my page. If I need that there be 10 contact data blocks on my page, I create 10 blocks and add editable text web part to each contact data block. Content manager fills editable text web part in each contact data block. But maybe there another way to do this? Maybe there is a opportunity to save data by content manager to some place? And my code will get data from this place.

Depending on the content, if it always has the same type of requirements (header text, image, content, footer text) then create a document type for it. This allows the user to enter content in a simple form and you can display those document types with any kind of list viewer you choose (repeater,datalist, etc).

RE:alternative to editable text web part
The google map webpart uses a latitude and longitude, so your new document type can have a news title, description, lat and long and you can get them all to work together. I'd suggest installing the corporate site as it has a lot of what you're looking for on there already and will be a good reference.

Hi,

Just go to Site Manager -> Sites tab and click the New site wizard, use the web template option and select the Corporate sample site.

RE:alternative to editable text web part
Thanks. I looked the google map example. But I did not find the solution of my task. Documents data source are used to provide data from pages to google map web part. And google map web part displays all point on map. But I need another thing. I need that there be as many google maps as pages are(pages with document type "offices") on the page. For example, I have three office pages. This mean that there must be three google maps on the page. How can I do this?

Hi,

I am sorry but I do not know how is this related to this thread. Anyway, you will have to add as many google maps web parts as many you need and configure each for given office. Or, create a fully custom web part that will generate the maps web parts as you need.

Best regards,
