I have a new D7 site with a unique home page--I am migrating the<br>entire site from static HTML. There is a top part which will be a<br>View, and then four columns below. One of those is a View, but the<br>other three aren't. They are static content but the client of course<br>wants to be able to edit them easily. One has<br><br>Title, Text, Image, Video<br><br>and the other two have<br><br>Title, Text, Image, Link<br><br>So between them there's only 5 unique fields really. The layout is<br>specialized, so if they can just edit those, I can do the rest. So I<br>have a few questions:<br><br>1. My guess is that using Panels is overkill and I could just custom<br>code a display for the home page. They have no plans to adjust<br>anything beyond the content. Makes sense?<br><br>2. To let them edit the content I could either make a special content<br>type and then have a field to assign one to column 1,2,3, but then<br>maybe they will create two nodes for col
1. So I suppose I could setup<br>a Rule that if they create a node and assign to a column that already<br>has a node, then the rule will unset the existing node of that column.<br>Then they could keep the old ones around. Or I could unpublish the<br>existing node.<br> </div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
