Hi,
I'm not even sure that title makes sense but at least it has some of the right keywords in there!
I'm currently building another site using the excellent Couch and I have a request from the client. I'm wondering whether it can be solved quite cleverly or whether I'm asking too much of the system.
Essentially I have a list of adverts (image and url). These adverts will appear within the front end pages however I want to be able to control:
1) which adverts appear on which pages
2) the order of those adverts on each individual page
So as a very simple example, if I had 2 pages and 2 adverts I might want to have:
Page 1
- advert 1
- advert 2
Page 2
- advert 2
- advert 1
My idea for this (if it's possible) was to have a cloned template for the adverts (to avoid repetition when entering the adverts). I was then wondering if it's possible to use this cloned template to output additional fields on other specified CMS pages? I was thinking it would be good to have a repeatable region with all of the adverts listed and an option (checkbox) to turn them on and off for that page. The repeatable would also handle the ordering since it's built into the field.
So I just really need to know whether something like that would be possible or whether I'm barking up the wrong tree. Or if anyone's had a similar problem how you've gone about solving it?
Thanks
Daz
