Reusable display components aspx templates

Hi Tom,

This reusable content type of "Image, Title text, content text" would be a Kentico "page type" the would be created by adain in the site tree.

Then you would use a web part to display this data. One of the repeater webaprts.

Yes, correct, or maybe you are looking for something like this http://devnet.kentico.com/articles/content-blocks

I agree with Adam, use a custom page type and store those pages/content blocks in a folder in the content tree. I've used Content Blocks before and they work well, clients seem to like to stay in one place and do their editing though, especially if there is only one site utilizing the content.

Hello kentico guru's,

I've been looking for a way to accomplish this in Kentico, as i am working on a website where the client wants to be able to adjust his webpage with the use of pre-made blocks (arrange order, add or remove blocks) and also be able to edit the text inside those blocks.

I believe i've found another thread where somebody was trying the same: https://devnet.kentico.com/questions/web-part-properties-widget

Is the 'Content blocks' package mentioned earlier in this thread still useable in Kentico 10? Or are there other/new/better ways to accomplish this?

Best regards, Justin

I'd take a look at this article by Joel, pretty good info regarding page types and how to use them as content blocks http://dahlindevelopment.com/blog/july-2016/tips-for-creating-page-types-in-kentico/

Or this one:

Thank you both, i've almost created what i want using Brenden's link and the Kentico 10 documentation. As i now have a Page type that i use as a 'block', which contains fields for an editor to use.

But now i have two more questions. In the documentation example for displaying Page types a 'Datalist' webpart is used to output the Page type, although this also works for me, it also adds a html-table around my 'block'. How can i display my Page types without extra mark-up being added?

My other question is related to Brendan's link, as the example describes using a Page type as an 'container' for his carousel, which can house other Page types which would function as slides. How can i create a container Page type that outputs other page types? (in his case, the slides)

Because there was no response, i've created a new question about this with some more info/explanation: https://devnet.kentico.com/questions/manageable-content-blocks
