Hi there! We use some kind of content reuse. You could create a dialog where you can select the location of the content in the current site that you want to reuse.
This might be a frontend page, or just a page with a lot of content collections. Use the link type for selecting the pages the nice way. In the paragraph jsp of this dialog, use the loadPage tag to fetch the mathing contentNode in scope, and the includetemplate tag to display the content item (don't forget to unload the page :). You can specify this to your wishes all you want, for example, instead of only specifying the page, also select the content collection you want to use (may want to create a custom dialog template for that)...

As we continue to check out Magnolia, it's occurred to me that I haven't seen any way to reuse existing content. For example, we have an "Online Services" section which is replicated across 80% of the pages in the University's website. While the contents of this section are the same across all the various pages where it exists, they do change from time to time. While one can, of course, hard-code the necessary HTML into a template to have this section appear whenever a template is used, one loses one of the main advantages of managed content -- you have to make and deploy code changes whenever you need a change to this section. What seems a better approach would be to have some way of defining a paragraph within Magnolia, and then using that same paragraph on multiple pages. One could, for example, choose "New Paragraph" and have a paragraph type that is merely a link to a paragraph that already exists elsewhere. Has anybody done anything like this, or explored other approaches to reusing content throughout one's system? Thanks in advance for any ideas!
