Including other pages in content

How can i create an ASP template that includes automatically the data content from an existing editable region that is aprt of another template?

Example I have 20 pages and each page will have an identical right-column. What i want to do is create a very bais page that will allow the user to enter/edit the content of the right menu, then have another template automatically include the content that the user saves.

Any ideas?

Use an Article. I found that I had to create xslt transformations, though, as aspx transformation just spat errors.

In CMSDesk, create a page using root template and then add an article.

Put a CMSViewer on each page template where you want content repeated, with ClassNames="cms.article". Set the Path of the CMSViewer to /[your page]/%

Note -- if you create more than one article, they'll all be repeated. If you only want the specific article shown, modify the Path accordingly.

If you don't want the articles hidden behind a page "icon" in the tree, change the allowed children on root to include article, and create the articles at the root level. Make sure you specify the exact article name in the path for CMSViewer, though.


Member	redactuk - 5/8/2007 1:05:28 PM RE:Including other pages in content Thank you for reply! I've got a slight issue in that I switched to Source view when editing the article and inserted HTML, but now the article is displayed as raw HTML! Presumably this is something I need to rectiry by changing the XSLT? Where do I edit or create new XSLTs? Thanks

Rather than playihng around with existing code I create a new document type - custom.code that I can now basically use as a user-defined web-part anywhere in the site simply to pull in content from another part of the site. Works well.
