Hi there
A very simple question:
To cut down the page length for the users in the Admin, I would like to split a long page into two separate pages, each with editable regions. This would save my target users a lot of scrolling when the site is live.
I presumed I could simply <?php include....?> the second page within the first page
But including one template inside another template seems to cause confusion.
Any suggestions much appreciated - and BTW 'excellent software!;'
Hi :)

If the goal is to make things more manageable for the admins, I think the better way would be create 'groups' of fields and keep most of those groups 'collapsed' e.g. as follows -
Code: Select all
<cms:editable type='group' name='grp_left' label='Left Column Content' collapsed='1' order='5' >
    <cms:editable name='quote' label='Quote (optional)' type='textarea' height='80' order='1' />
    <cms:editable name='text' label='Text' type='richtext' toolbar='basic' order='3' />
    <cms:repeatable name='videos' label='Videos (optional)' order='4'>
        <cms:editable name='video' label='&nbsp;' type='text' order='1' />
    </cms:repeatable>
</cms:editable>

<cms:editable type='group' name='grp_right' label='Right Column Content' collapsed='1' order='6' >
    <cms:editable name='choreography' label='Choreography' type='text' order='1' />
    <cms:editable name='sound' label='Sound' type='text' order='2' />
    <cms:editable name='set_design' label='Set Design' type='text' order='3' />
</cms:editable>

Your thoughts?
Yes - looks like a very interesting technique, I'll do some experimenting.
And many thanks for the rapid response!
Oh, that is so perfect!
Problem solved, thanks again...
