Reference Component & Content Finder

Jul 26, 2012 7:50 AM

Tags: #reference #component_finder

Hello,

 

I'd like to create paragraphs (even entire sections of pages) that could be used in multiple sections of the site, e.g., a "Legal Disclaimer" section.  The thought being when the Legal Disclaimer changed at the source, it would change everywhere.  This I believe is the point of the reference component.

 

When I drop a reference component on the page, I can browse through other pages on my site and select a parsys just fine.  I'm confused as to how to add paragraph to the content finder under the "Paragraphs" tab so that (presumably) I could just drag it to any page I wish.  Are these pages or literally parasys (if the latter, how do you add them).  I don't see any examples under the Geometrixx either.

 

Thanks

    The Paragraphs tab in content finder helps to filter and preview paragraph for the context path.  Ex:-  Type in the page path  "/content/geometrixx/en" and click on search icon & it display all the paragraph.  To verify add a text component to geometrixx en page and in cf it will get dispayed. You can drag and drop to an reference component.
