I want to be able to allow a user to add an unlimited number of rich text editor content to a sidebar section of a page. There are a couple of modules that almost do this:
...BUT none of theme support the Rich Text control and I want users to be able to create rich text content and drop in macros from the macro drop down that is included in the Rich Text editors.
Any idea of what options I have or why all 3 of these packages don't support the Rich text editor?
I am building an intranet POC for my company, so I don't know (during design time) how many sections the user may want to add, and I really don't want to add a bunch on dummy items (title1, body1, title2, body2, etc...)
A common approach to achieve this goal is to setup a repository of shared content in the content section.
So you have a structure like this in the content section.
Homepage Subpage Subpage Subpage Subpage Subpage Shared Content Content Element Content Element Etc.
So in the shared content your content element could consist of fields for header and content (rich text editor) for instance.
On your document nodes beneath "Homepage" you can then setup a multinode-tree picker in the developer section to make it possible to select one or more content elements from the shared content section when you add it to your document types.
The benfit of this is that the created elements can be reused on the site with ease.
Hi Jan, thanks for the reply! That does make sense but I don't want the content sections to be shared. This is for an intranet, so each page will have differnet content.
Add "n" number of rich text content.

Hope the above suggestion makes sense to you.

Luckily i stumed on the WebBlock project:

It looks pretty awesome and appears to do exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks! Doug
