Please forgive the stupid question, but what is "container reflection"?

Container Reflection is a new feature added to the FarCry 2.3 code base that allows for the effective management of shared container content.


For example, you can have a shared container -- say a preconfigured news container like "Investor News" -- that can then be slected to be used inside any container on the site.

At any time you can override the shared container and put in content unique to the page in question.

For example, you might have a Child Links Rule as the default shared container on all landing pages. Then for a specific landing page with too many children you choose a slightly different display method. Most landing pages "reflect" the publishing rule of a shared container, while the content of the specific pages container can be overriden to allow page specific content to be there.

Unfortuantely there is no generic admin for the shared content -- you need to build a custom admin feature for this. A generic admin mechanism is slated for "Glamour" (v2.4):
