Priority: Major (was: Neutral)
> Content reuse

> Key: DOCU-123
> URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/DOCU-123
> Project: Documentation
> Issue Type: Task
> Security Level: Public
> Components: content
> Reporter: Antti Hietala

> Attachments: fetch page mainArea.ftl

> Write a tutorial about content reuse options. Objective is to render the same
> page in multiple locations of the content hierarchy or render the same
> paragraph on multiple pages, a common request.
> Our standard answer to such as request is that Magnolia does not provide
> built-in functionality where the same page exists in multiple locations in
> the hierarchy but this behavior can be simulated. Options:
> * Simulate the JCR Reference property with a custom template.
> * Use virtual URIs to map requests for the "copies" back to the source page.
> Customize navigation.
> * Reconstruct the page by using parts of the source page in the target page.
> This would also require customized navigation.
> None of these options are really ideal. Aperto has a better approach that
> relies on dedicated templates for content reuse. This should become best
> practice.
> *Business case for reusable pages*
> Affiliates inherit content from their parent company. While most affiliate
> content is unique, some pages or paragraphs need to be reproduced in
> verbatim. Common content should be editable in one location. Changes should
> propagate to affiliate sites automatically. Links pointing to other parent
> company page should continue to work when content is rendered on the
> affiliate site. Content should have affiliate theme and appear in affiliate
> navigation when rendered on affiliate site.
> *Business case for reusable paragraphs*
> Any sidebar content that should be displayed across many pages such as market
> data on business pages, upcoming baseball matches on sports pages, or latest
> comments on blog posts.
> *Reusable pages best practice*
> # Create a new Referenced Page template, similar to Redirect template.
> # Apply the template to a page in the affiliate hierarchy.
> # Use page properties to point to a source page in parent company hierarchy.
> # Source page content will be rendered on public instance. \\ \\
> {code}
> + Parent company

> - Life insurance (source page) <-----------
> - Car insurance |
> - Home insurance |

> {code}
> *Reusable paragraphs best practice*
> # Create a new Reusable Content page template, a special template that allows
> you to add a paragraph or a widget.
> # Create a separate hierarchy of pages where you store the reusable
> paragraphs. This hierarchy is not displayed on public instance.
> # Apply the Reusable Content template to these page.
> # Create a new Referenced Paragraph paragraph template.
> # Add the Referenced Paragraph on content pages.
> # Select one of the reusable paragraphs from the separate hierarchy with the
> paragraph dialog. \\ \\
> {code}
> + Home
> - Sports (contains a Referenced Paragraph that points to reusable content)
> - Business
> - Blog
> - ...
> + Reusable content (hidden hierarchy)
> - Support hotline
> - Connect with Facebook
> - Today's market data
> {code}
> Address the issue of canonical content. Which of the similar pieces of
> content is the unique source. This is important for SEO purposes. Use the
> [canonical URL
> tag|http://www.seomoz.org/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps]
> or permanent redirect. See [SEO tech
> brief|http://www.magnolia-cms.com/magnolia-cms/tech-briefs/seo.html].
> Other use cases:
> * Reusing contents across sites: jobs section
> * RSS aggregator and teasers as reuse mechanisms
> * Data module for text blocks
