Hey -
When you add a navigation node, you will notice that you can choose a
symbolic link. This *should* serve as a pointer to another aliased
object. In the current release however it doesn't quite behave as
you'd expect - ie being able to simply preview the node and have the linked
object data pulled into that node. The buildlink tag does actually
have the smarts to deal with symbolic links, but really it sould be a no
brainer. Next pubilc build should see this functionality
fully working :)

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/14/03 12:35am >>> Hi Ken, I have just what you need. A "mirror HTML content" object. We have a big need to mirror our HTML body content throughout our site without replicating the content. At first I was using containers and rules to accomplish this. That worked OK...but it was not very elegant and required many steps. With the release of Farcry V2, we can now add custom types into the tree :), so I've created a custom "Mirror HTML" object. The type files are attached. It could probably use a few efficiency tweaks, but it works just fine. You'll need to create your own templates for the type in your "Webskin" directory. The type supplies two structs to the template. stObj, contains the properties of the Mirror object itself. stProps (I should have named this differently..stMirrorObj?) contains the properties of the object being mirrored. Enjoy. ~Tom >-----Original Message----- >From: Ken Hobbs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 3:35 PM >To: FarCry Developers >Subject: [farcry-dev] Reusing web pages from multiple >navigation objects > > >Hi all, > >I'm not sure if FarCry will do this already or if there is an >effort to introduce the feature in a future release, but I >thought I would toss it out to see what y'all say. > >One "nice" feature of some CMS's is the abilitity to create a >content object, such as a web page, and link it from more than >one navigational link.
