Specify Templates for Channels |
|
|
I am trying to do the following and not sure what the
Best Practice method is: eg.
Channels Templates
Woodgrove
About US GeneralImage
Small Business General
News GeneralImage
Contact US General
How do you restrict a Template to a Channel ie.
The 'GeneralImage' Template is used for any postings to
the 'About Us' Channel. But also have all the
GeneralImage Templates the same. ie. So if you update
one it updates all others with the same name.
From what I can tell using Connected Templates sort of
allows you to do this, but when you make changes it
updates any Placeholder changes but doesn't copy across
or update any Custom Properties.
Is there any way of achieving this. ie. It is like
stipulating the Channel Rights for a Template. Or do I
have to repeat all the custom properties in each of the
Templates?
Cheers,
Kele. |

HI Kele,
You could write your own 'select template' dialog (dosen't even need to be a
dialog it could be on the main form) that has a mapping for each channel to
the templates allowed to be used in that channel.

Hi
Or you could modify the Create New Page action to use a
pre-defined template (which could be programatically set,
depending on the current channel) each time a new posting
is created, bypassing the select template dialog
altogether.
Either way, you only need to maintain 2 templates: General
and GeneralImage.
