Hey 

Just a small correction :)  re the symbolic link method you mentioned
Quentin, the behavior you mentioned *used* to be the case. It has been
updated in v2.1 to recognise the correct context of the node where you
are specifying the symbolic link.  ie - if you choose a symbolic node on
a nav node,  the content will be pulled in from the linked alias, but
the page context will behave as expected.

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
