    properties within a property

    Hi there,

    I need to create a panel which contains any number of promo panels. Each promo panel would need a url, an image, title and a short bio. The html will be shown on the home page.

    Can I,

    1. create a datatype that is multivalued and each value has its own properties?
    2. Or should I use a related links property on the home page and put the properties of the promo panels on the pages being linked to?
    3. Or should I create a datatype for the promo panel and create each promo panel item as content under the home page

    Hey Ben,

    In this instance I always create a node for each under the homepage (actually I add another node to hold the extra nodes just to tidy things up).

    There are some packages which can do this for you. Have a look at:

    MultiType DataType

    Embedded Content

    DataType Grid
