I have a site where the client will need to update one page weekly. I'd like to make it easy, by having the page basic content stay unchanged, and have them input just the changing information through a form. How do I make the most recent form content appear within the static page? Can I do it with a view?
This is the development site, http://urbanorganic.jeangazis.com and the item they will need ot update is "This Week's Produce List."
Just give the user edit node permissions. Whether the node (the "page") is one text area or a bunch of cck fields, this will give the user the ability to update the page at will.
I would set the default workflow to create a new revision so that any mistakes can be rolled back.

Hello, Jean,
Use a the viewfield module -- create a view to pull the dynamic content, and use viewfield to embed the dynamic content under the static content. You might need to create a custom tpl.php to make it all look pretty, but that will work fairly easily.
Or, you could add a second body field into your node type. The second body field would be where your client updates content.
Cheers,
Bill
