Hi

What you are describing seems like a simple case for the forms and list module, define your custom fields make your tempalte and have your admins add entries and it displays the way you want it

Thanks Armand!

I am looking over the Forms and List module.

In my case, I need one record per page. The example I gave was for a side bar. One row in the user defined table would correspond to a single side bar on a page. Each column in the table would correspond to a section in the side bar. One column would be the image. The other two columns are text.

I would need the module to limit itself to one record per page. And the module would have to pull up the data for a given page.

Is the Forms and List module the correct module for this?

Steve

if you see the detail view of Form and List as a page, each item will contain an individual page.

Thanks Sebastian !

I wasn't clear about what I meant as a page. I meant a tab.

I am wanting to possibly use the Forms and List module to allow content editors to enter three values.

1. An image

2. Text that will be rendered inside an h2 tag

3. Text that will be rendered inside a p tag

One record in the user defined table will be correspond to one tab. I used page to mean a tab. My three column scenario above is meant to populate a sidebar. Each page or tab with the sidebar will have a different  image and text.

Please refer to the following pages at my company's website. This is NOT a dnn site, but I am creating it in dnn as a coding exercise.

Each page above has a sidebar in a lower right pane. The 129x27 "case study" image at the top is common to all pages. It can be hard coded into each skin .ascx file. The second image is 167x182 and is different on each page. Then there is a piece of header text enclosed in an h2 element.  Then there is more text enclosed in one or more p elements.

The sidebar is one example. The row of four images near the top of the page is another example. 

I am looking for a way that content editors will not have to trouble themselves with HTML level editing. My boss feels it could be too much for non-technical users to create content. I am using the HTML module, which is fine for me as I can do HTML level editing.

I get the feeling the Forms and List module is meant to enter one or more records into a user defined table and all records of the data can be displayed in a grid or other repeating container, all on the same page or tab. My gut instinct is that the Forms and List module probably isn't the best choice.

I hope this is more clear.

Steve
