Sorry, didn't even see that you had more of a message!
 
The way you've described you've implemented the include way sounds right, i'm not sure what is causing that error, I've not seen that one
 
It looks like an error relating to the creation of the rule in the container (PLPs use WDDX packets to hold their state until you save)
 
Perhaps someone else on the list knows what causes this?

Quentin,
 
Thanks for the fast response!
 
The breadcrumb issue in the 2nd method could be a bit of a problem... I suppose I could write a bit of cfml to check for a cgi.HTTP_REFERER variable and show a breadcrumb based on that... but i think that might be opening a can of worms!
 
So I'm trying the first method...
 
I've copied displayTeaser.cfm and changed it to output #stObj.Body#. It also contains the line:
<!--- @@displayname: Display Body - Basically Include Page --->
I've uploaded this file to:
/~/farcry_application/{application name}/webskin/dmHTML/displayTeasercustomincludepage.cfm
 
Now, i choose the handpicked rule for the "bottom" container, choose the Object type "dmHTML", and tick the relevant page to include. On the page where i should be able to choose a display method for the pages i chose on the previous page, no pages are displayed. I turned on CF debugging info and there are two exceptions on the page:

What am i doing wrong? 
Thanks for your help,
Gavin

Hi Gavin,
 
There's a couple of ways of doing this
 
The way you suggested is a good way. The way you'd include it in the pages would be to make sure there's a container in the main content area in your display template. Then you would add the "hand picked" rule to the container, and select the relevant dmHTML object from the utility section. You'd also need to create a "displayTeaserXXXXXX.cfm" display method to display it (however, this display method would output stObj.body, not stObj.teaser despite being labelled as a teaser)
 
Another way to do it is to add it to one of the two pages. Give that page's nav node a "nav alias", then on any subsequent page you want to add it to, use the symbolic link function. In other words, for the page you want to duplicate it on, select the created nav alias from the original page in the navigation node
 
The only thing to be aware of in this second method is if you browse to the page in a duplicated place, the breadcrumbs will appear as though it is being visited from the original place
 
I hope i didn't make that sound too confusing :)
 
Cheers

Subject: [farcry-dev] Repeated content

Hi All,
 
I am new to farcry, and am currently working on my second farcry site. The first was a bog-standard intranet site using the child links rule.
 
The site I am working on is a little bit more complicated, and I will have a couple of questions in the next week or so for this list. The first question I would like to ask is this:
 
Most of this site is a basic tree structure using the child links rule, but then some of the branches on the tree are supposed to be repeated. i.e.
Home > Site part A > page name
is supposed to be the same as
Home > Site part B > page name
 
What's the best way of doing this?
 
I was thinking of putting the shared page info into a page under the "Utility" heading and then including it in the relevant pages. Would this be the way to go? And how exactly do I include pages?
 
Thanks,
 
Gavin
