Hi,
The idea is to create a list of variable names per stylesheet with a reference to an existing paragraphID from the cms.
These variablenames should be applied in page and paragraphsetup templates according to their current stylesheet.
See the following definition and data example.
Fields:
StylesheetID -> Existing DW stylesheet ID
VariableName -> Variable name to use in page or paragraphsetup template
(<!@--Stylesheet.GlobalNewsList-->)
ParagraphID -> Existing DW ParagraphID
StylesheetID VariableName ParagraphID
1 GlobalNewsList 25
1 GlobalCalendar 28
2 GlobalNewsList 46
2 GlobalCalendar 56
This makes it possible to reuse the same page/paragraphsetup templates in different stylesheets with their own content(news, calendar)
This is usefull for websites of companies which reuse their templates for different divisions with their own news, agenda etc.
I know this already possible via global paragraphs but is not very user friendly and can be time consuming to create/maintain.
With this new method the enduser can focus on content and is not confused with paragraphs which are required on each page.
If you have any questions let me know.
Regards,
