I have been using Umbraco successfully for a few weeks now and am starting to really enjoy it. I do have a simple dilemma that I have not been able to solve on my own.
I have a typical directory structure
Home
- Sub 1
-- Page 1
-- Page 2
- Sub 2
-- Page 3
-- Page 4
and I have delegated user rights accordingly. On the homepage, I made sure that noone other than myself (Admin) can edit the content. However, I have been trying to figure out how I could put a simple
bulleted list on the homepage and allow the users to only be able to edit that particular component and nothing else. I've tried playing with the templates, contentplaceholders and document types but to no avail. I have 3 years of C# coding experience if it comes down to writing a .NET module.
I have a node called Site data, and below that I have my editable lists.
Set up 2 new documents, List & List Items. They shouldn't need any extra properties and they don't require a template. Add ListItem to the allowed child nodetypes.
You can then render the list on a page using a macro & XSLT:

You could store the information in a separate node stored further down the tree and grab it's content via xslt, perhaps.
yep, I'd go for storing it in a separate node.
