Setting default values for new resorces

Hi

Is it possible to set a default value for the summary(introtext) so that when we create a new resorce it already has the summary text(this is some css styles and html) in place?

No, usually common HTML/CSS or other content is put in chunks.

It would be even better to use a TV for this. You can set a default value for it when you create it, then if you want something a little different for any given page it’s easy to edit the TV for that resource.

hi,

i would just add that, ressources having css and html in place on creating is more the templating job... not the summary one

if you simply created a template with your expected css and html, you would just have to choose this template when creating a new ressource and everything would be in place at once

Thank you for assistance.

The problem is there is some text at the top of the page that will be different for each page(20+ pages and growing), we are using different styles within this area and it needs to be edited.

Is there a way of adding a [*content*2] so there is 2 editable regions within the main editor?

Or can we hard code a default value for the Summary(intortext) using some php? $New_Modx_Summary_Custom = "some code that could be here";
As it is only a text box after all..?

Do you know what files control the editor?

This is exactly what Template Variables are for -- creating extra fields.

Once you’ve created the Template Variable, it will show up as an extra field when you edit a document using a template it’s attached to.

You can display its content anywhere on the page using a tag:
