Same content at different locations

These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.

Two of the links that were put inside the "Local sites" folder are links to the websites of some local newspapers. It would be nice to have these available under the "News sites" folder. This can be easily achieved without duplicating content. Because of the unique structure of eZ publish, a node can appear at several locations within the content node tree. The following list of steps explain how to make the "Telemark Newspaper" node to appear both in the "Local sites" and the "News sites" folder.

  1. Make sure that you're logged into the administration interface.
  2. Navigate the content tree and find the node that is titled "Telemark Newspaper".
  3. Edit the node.
    (Click on the nodes name and then the "Edit" button.)
  4. Click the "Add locations" button.
    A navigation page will appear.
  5. Use the navigator to locate and select the "News sites" folder.
  6. Click the "Select" button.

If you browse the "Links" part of the site and check out the "Local sites" and then the "News sites" folder, you'll see that "Telemark Newspaper" appears under both categories. This concludes the first part of the "Building an eZ publish site" tutorial.

Small point on this page - Excellent tutorial!

3. Edit the node.
(Click on the nodes name and then the "Edit" button.)

In 3.5.1 you can't add locations by editing an object, you need to make sure that the locations overview is revealed by clicking on the locations button at the top/middle of the screen. This reveals the Add Locations button used in step 4

I would like to say this is an excellent tutorial. Gave me a great starting point with which to explore the potential of ezpublish!
