avoid repeating content entry in dnn

hello all

i have some content text/html that repeats accross several pages and their descendants but Not accross all the pages (as is the option provided by the checkbox)

please can someone advice on this solution? i think a good cms would avoid content repetitive copy paste

the content is a sidebar with links. isn't there a way to select which pages are affected by this text/html module?

regards and thx

Simp,le so,ution use the "Add Existing Module" option when adding the module to a page. This gives you the ability to select which page you want to create a reference copy of the module from, then you select the module and you get a reference copy of that module only on the pages you add it to.

See page 100 of the DotNetNuke for Dummies book.

Re: avoid repeating content entry in dnn

thanks philip

i tried it, it works. although each module can have a different title, the content is by reference... great!

there is still no "apply to all subpages or check the pages you'd like this module to be added to" , but at least it works now, so thanks. i don't know how i missed this part (nobody reads the manual anymore)

so the thread is solved :)
