Re-using Content in Kentico CMS

Monday, May 04, 2009, 2:14 PM

In this tutorial, I share the way I re-use content in Kentico CMS. Kentico CMS is a content management system for ASP.NET, and it has quickly become my system of choice to build all types of web sites.

Note: I'll be making a download for this web part available sometime soon. Please check back in a few days, and thanks for watching!

And how about edit/save the shared content in the display page
This will be very interesting

Fabien, that's an interesting idea! Perhaps maybe just a link to the editing form - I wouldn't want people to mistake it for a plain old EditableText field and think when they change it, it only changes on the one page ;-)

I agree with you.

But, you know, my client want to edit in wysiwyg and in same time re-use content...

Very clean and simple way to get this done. Good job!

Fabien,
That's no problem. What I'd do for them is display the text with a button that says "Edit this Shared Content." Then you could either pop up a window or direct them to the editing form for the shared content document and they'd still get to use the WYSIWYG editor.

Of course, you could indeed include the WYSIWYG editor right inline, but I still think people would end up changing it, thinking it was only for that page.

As far as source, I have to edit things a little bit to work with any site rather than just the one I demo'd on, but I do intend on creating a web part/doc type package and posting it on the Kentico Marketplace sometime soon.

Thanks for your interest!
