re-using block on a group of pages.

Permalink 1 user found helpful
is there any way to re-use formatted blocks you create on one page to other pages? (other than the scrapbook)

I have a site selling beauty products.. it is in the creation stage
If you look at:http://test.eurorganicsbeauty.com/store1/...

I have the standard Nav-bar for the countries, but the products link to anchors on the country pages. and so I have had to create a HTML page that links to the anchors. If you go to France you will see the 2 products.. J de L'O ORGANICS and Provence Santé. The product links to to anchors on the France Page.. others not done yet.

Any way to change the anchor page in one spot and have it show up for all 10 countries?

This may not be clear, but if you need more explaination, just let me know.

Thanks in advance.

have you explored page defaults?

Hi All

I am having the same problem. I will like to create a common html content block and and apply it to all pages.

Frz I explored the use of page defaults, it works fine to apply the block from a scrapbook and apply to all pages. The problem comes in when you change the content of the original block, it doesn't update the changes to the rest of the site where you copied that block to. Any help will also be appreciated. I am using concrete5 5.3.2

Thanks

Yes, After I posted this I found it, just had a hard time creating a "new" page default, ended up copying the left-margin.pgp to a new file then added the block to it.

For bluesun, I think the key is when you change a block to apply it to the Page default and then propigate it down to all "child" pages. If you just change it on a page based on the page default it will not propigate down, but pplying it to the Page Default itshlf should (I think) allow you to force it down to the rest of the pages based on that page default
