Two templates, same content...?!?

Hi!

I am working on a site that got two different headings.... If I wanted the content of the contact-page to appear in both the templates how does I do that?

I'm using "{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:27}" for one part of the page and "{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:21}" for the other part... so I have to make contact-page and two other pages twice to get what I want...

Is there a way to "mirror" the content of a page? That would be really nice, so I don't have to update in two places...

Hallo hovado,

Add a second Navi under the existing Navi of each template.

Where xx is the Cat-ID of the contact page. Which must be switches to hidden in the ADMIN section.

{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:27}
{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:xx}

{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:21}
{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:xx}

Yes, but the two parts of the page uses different templates... if I just wanted the content, and keep the active template that I see when I click "contact"... is that possible?

If not, I will have to go for your solution...

Hi hovardo,

for your contact-page use a special template, only with the {CONTENT} in the mainfield, which uses a special layout with only 100% width, nothing else.

Put in a hidden category an article with your contact-form. Connect it with the new template.

Put into your 2 existing contact Artikles (each with its own headerimage) an iFrame-call to your contactpage.

Thats it.
