I have a somewhat complex question that I find easiest to pose using a scenario.

If I am designing a site in dotnetnuke for a company that sells nails and our company has a changing list of lengths, materials, thickness, etc of the nails we offer, does dotnetnuke have a way for me to repurpose this content across multiple pages, newsletters, etc.?  I would like to know if there is a way that I can create a dynamic link for this granular content where I can update instances of this information across the site by changing this content in one location.

 I've been discussing DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) with some of my colleages and it has come to my attention that we have an unquestionable need for the concept I mentioned with the nails that I only know to call "content repurposing".  I have tried numerous searches for this term and dotnetnuke and they haven't given me much to work with as yet and I was wondering if some modules exist for this kind of need and/or if there are some alternate terms I can use that are more related to the dotnetnuke lingo.

Anyone?

You may be searching for the in correct terms as I believe there is a module/s that allow for such a purpose.  Try searching for content sharing in these forums or on Snowcovered.  Good luck.

Thank you for that, I did manage to find this post discussing some modules that relate to content "shadowing" or "sharing" which I assume are all either the same thing or adaptable to the same purpose.  I do have another question about an old HTML module named "magic gadget" as was mentioned to me by Lee Sykes of DNN Creative.  I believe this editor allowed the user to add tokens similar to the skinning principle, except these tokens were replaced by the html module.  Does anyone know what happened to this project or if the source is available for this?  I was thinking about trying to make some changes to the FCK editor for this purpose. 

Mr. Sykes also recommended to take a look at the Host > Lists  List Manager when implementing this kind of thing.  Can anyone point me to some documentation on this?  My first search results weren't what I was hoping for as I am still acclimating myself to the Dotnetnuke vernacular.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
