    Site wide content

    Hi.

    On various of my templates there is a sidebar (side column) which has two boxes, one for an image and one for a a mix of a heading, text and an image.

    I want these boxes to be content managable so the user can edit them at any time.

    What is the best approach for this?

    Thanks

    If you are using 452 you can use the macro container datatype and create a macro with that content then allow as property on the page macro container then write it out if field is present in the template.

    Regards

    If you store this content in a parent node (maybe on it's own tab for clarity ) you can use the recursive function

     

    EG

    <h2><umbraco:Item field="sitewideSideHeadline" recursive="true" runat="server"/></h2>
    <umbraco:Item field="sitewideSideParagraphrecursive="true" runat="server"/>

    You can do a similar thing with XSLT.

    John, thanks, the recursive function did the trick.

    For info: my setup is like this:

    Home
    > Info
    >> About us

    and the site-wide content is in a tab under the Home page, so the recursive function goes back two levels. Nice!
