User editable URL
Hi all,

Hopefully this is a simple question, and I'm just not reading the right things. I need a user-editable URL and can't fathom how to accomplish it...

* For each page created from a template, I need a URL link within the document.
* The URL varies for each created page.
* I need to provide a way of the user editing only the href attribute of this given <a> tag, which is placed within the template.
* I don't want the user to be entering HTML directly, just a URL.

I've built a basic web part with just the URL as a defined property, but if I add it to a webpartzone within one page (which has been created from the template), it appears on all other pages created from this template, with the same properties.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

RE:User editable URL
Sounds like you need to create a custom document type. This will allow you to add those URLs with ease and control where and when they are displayed. Your template will have a repeater webpart on it and a transformation that displays the data from the document type. Pretty easy and can all be done within the Portal if you're using portal and aspx.
