Richard, you're a genius! Or at least very clever ... :) With your hints I was able to dig a little deeper about the inheritance issue (the i18n issue is no longer a problem, I'm going to just make 3 different content trees.) Thanks so much again for your help.
At first I didn't understand how or where to out the code you wrote. Then finally I understood. What I had to do was change my template, get rid of [@cms.contentNodeIterator contentNodeCollectionName="myNewCollection"] [@cms.includeTemplate /] [/@cms.contentNodeIterator] and instead put: [#assign topMenuItems=mgnl.inherit(content).myNewCollection /] [#list topMenuItems?children as kid] [@cms.includeTemplate contentNode=kid /] That way sub-pages inherit it. Genius! But there's always a 'but'! In my case it's a bit one. Here it is: if I define all my paragraphs in my homePage template - header (with a top menu), sidebar (with teasers, for example), footer, etc - and then define another page, let's say an About page, that inherits all of those paragraphs, *how* do I make it so the other homePage-specific content (in my case a flash movie) isn't displayed in the About page, but rather aboutPage-specific content is displayed? I've been looking around and haven't found an answer. Two ideas occur to me: 1. Instead of defining all of those paragraphs in the homePage template, instead define a headerTemplate (with the topMenu), sideTemplate (with teaders), and footerTemplate and somehow tell my homePage to use a different, 'homePage' template that includes headerTemplate, sideTemplate and footerTemplate. Is this a best practice? Is it even possible? 2. Define all paragraphs in the homePageTemplate and have all pages inherit from homePageTemplate and where there is sub-page specific content put an 'if', something like: if (page='about') display aboutContent else if (page='contact') display contactContent Again .. is this a best practice? (It doesn't seem like it ... to have n 'if's in the template, one for each page ...) Is it even possible? I'll keep digging. Any help, as you already know, is very appreciated.
