Custom layout with multiple content fields, a.k.a. page content areas

10Mar10

Can’t see more multiple content areas in edit mode? Two Rich HTML Fields showing the same content? To create a custom layout in SharePoint Designer with multiple page content areas (RichHTMLField fields), you should first create a custom page content type and add one custom field for each of the content areas you have in your custom layout. For example, <PublishingWebControls:RichHtmlField id=”…” FieldName=”CustomFieldNameGoesHere” requires that you add a “CustomFieldNameGoesHere” column to the content type that your layout will be attached to. FieldName and the column name should match, and each set must be unique. For more info, see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101741281033.aspx
