Multi Regions (edit more than just one area of a web page!)

This page has multiple editable regions. When additional content snippets are present on the page you are editing, a dropdown select box will appear in the Fast Edit toolbar, where you can choose the region you want to edit.

About multiple regions

These extra content snippets are stored in the usual "fast_edit/_content/" folder and can only be created manually.

Naming the additional content files

Additional content snippets should use this naming convention; "main-filename--snippet-name.txt".

So for this page, the main content filename is "multi_regions.txt"

And any additional snippets on this page MUST start with "multi_regions--" (yes, the double-dash afterwards is very important and must also be included), followed by the snippet name; e.g "multi_regions--about.txt"

Including in a web page

Additional content snippets are included back into the parent .php page (in the root folder) like this;
<?php include($root.'multi_regions--about.txt');?>

Protecting your custom page

So now that your parent .php page has been customised and looks more like this;

<?php include('includes/header.html');?>
    <div class="editable">
        <?php include($contentpage);?>
        <?php include($root.'multi_regions--about.txt');?>
        <?php include($root.'multi_regions--naming.txt');?>
        <?php include($root.'multi_regions--including.txt');?>
        <?php include($root.'multi_regions--protecting.txt');?>
    </div>
<?php include('includes/footer.html');?>

instead of the default;

<?php include('includes/header.html');?>
    <div class="editable">
        <?php include($contentpage);?>
    </div>
<?php include('includes/footer.html');?>

you'll want to protect it from being deleted by adding it to the $page_protect() array in the "fast_edit/fast_edit_config.php" file.
