SNIP.....I want a TV that will allow me to select between column A, B or C, how do i go about that.
If you want to select between EITHER A, B or C, then you could also use chunks independent of TVs. You can create a chunk, edit it the way you want, name it it say {{chunkinclude}}. Now, anywhere within your document that you want that chunk to appear, just place that {{chunkinclude}}. If you want the chunk to appear in A, then put it where you want it in A. You can create as many different chunks as you want. Just give them different names, of course.
If on the other hand you want all three sections, A, B, C to have an editable text areas, you will need to create 3 different TVs, one at a time. Choose their
input type as RichText and make sure you assign them to any number of templates you want (that are available in your site, of course). Now whenever you create or edit documents that use those templates you assigned the TVs A, B and C to, below the main content area, you will see Rich Text editable areas, with the names and descriptions you gave to your TVs, say A, B and C.
Alternatively, you can use Susan’s method and choose the chunks you want to appear in your pages using a TV. She uses a multi-list select list box
In her tutorial she used chunks, I think they were a calendar and some other stuff. But what I want to do is to be able to be able create or edit some copy using TinyMCE and have is appear in either column A,B or C. I can’t do that with chunk can I aren’t they just for HTML code and don’t use Tiny MCE?
No, chunks are not only for html code (I know it says "chunk code(html)" in the create new chunk page but that is a bit misleading). You can have even plain text. The only thing you CANNOT have in a chunk is php code. When creating a new chunk, scroll to the bottom of the text area, there is a drop down to choose the editor you want to use. You can choose TinyMCE there.
In your main template how you call a TV is it just [*tvname*] ?
That’s correct. Remember the name is case sensitive.
I’ve probably just got some things jumbled up, and that’s what stopping me understand it.
You’ll get there, no to worry. Most of us have been there...
