I think I remember a while back that there was a discussion about having a library of assets, so if a page needed to display/link to an image/pdf that is part of another page, there wouldn't be any need to upload the same file(s) again. Is this now part of the latest release of CMSB or still on the to do/wish list?

Hi, Jerry. Can you tell me which section of the cookbook covers this, please? I bought it yesterday.

Hi Nigel,

Thanks for subscribing.

The recipe is called

USING "RELATED RECORDS" TO POPULATE PAGES FROM A MASTER “ADDRESS BOOK” OR “PRODUCT LIST”

If you log in to ACCESS THE FULL COOKBOOK under subscribers only, or search on the Table of contents page, you can search for that recipe

Hi Nigel,

I found another recipe for you with a slightly different approach:

Hi Nigel,

Use CTL (CMD) "F" on your browser

I opted not to try to include an actual search function because all modern browsers had a much more sophisticated one already built in
