Lets say i have a page with part of its content presented as bulltes consisting of text and images (e.g. Services list)? This content need to be managed by the site content editors.
I know this could be accomplished by having a rich text editor propery or having a document type for the bullets content (which would result in a dedicated page for each item), Is there a way to let content editors simply create new items each with image and text but they have no dedicated page?
The MultiType-Datatype is another option for adding multiple items to a Document. It gives you more controls than the RTE but you don't have to have a dedicated page for each item.
You create a new DataType using this type and select the properties the type should have. In your case you would have a text box and media picker. You can then create a Property on your DocumentType with that DataType.
Content Without document type
Hi all,
Lets say i have a page with part of its content presented as bulltes consisting of text and images (e.g. Services list)? This content need to be managed by the site content editors.
I know this could be accomplished by having a rich text editor propery or having a document type for the bullets content (which would result in a dedicated page for each item), Is there a way to let content editors simply create new items each with image and text but they have no dedicated page?
Thanks,
I'd use an RTE for the bullets, you can add a style to it to make em look good.
As for the images, I'd keep them in the same doctype as the bullets, and just use a template to position/size them nicely on the frontend.
