I was wondering whats the best/recommended way to add optional "parts" to a page.
The part could be an list of PDF files, an single image, RTF content etc.
The page could contain one or more parts.
Guess the part is an doc type with its own properties, i know how to render the part on page, but what i don´t know is how to pick one or more parts using the backend.
Should i use the new "List View" or some sort of sub node (doc type) with some sort of macros?
As a matter of fact, a solution similar to this has come up but will be implemented in round two, nice to know that there´s already an extension for this.
I was hoping for something more "standard" out of the box solution for now.
I could however add properties for all types of "parts" on the page and check if they contain any data but this does not feel as dynamic as i want it...
Choose "modules"/"parts" for page

I´m using Umbraco 7.

Maybe you're looking for something like this: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/mentor-web-blocks-mvc
I think they are working on an Umbraco 7 version.

Hi Jeroen and thanks for your reply.

Is there any other way to solve this?
