Hi

When I want to create new template I always extend Page, wich goes with a "content " tab on the HTML editor.
I also know how to create another Tab by insterting a new html field in my template.

My problem is now the following :

I Need to create another template with a content Tab but I don't want it to be the "original" content tab but a spécific one.

How can I do that without rmoving it from Page wich I presume would remove it everywhere

Thanks for any clue

The easiest solution would be to extend page, which would create a whole corresponding template (or Layout) and you can customize the contents of the DataObject.

This will not affect your existing Page types and you can add any kind of data types to the $db array to suit your needs.

BUt that keeps the content tab always does it ?

Yes, but it will be a separate table that will not interfere with your existing pages.

Content is merely an DataObject $db variable named Content of type HTMLText ('Content' => 'HTMLText'). Whenever you throw a type HTMLText to the CMS it will give you the WYSIWYG editor.

If you don't want one, create a new Page type and controller that extends SiteTree instead of Page, then you can start from scratch.

If that sounds too complicated, just do the following:

function getCMSFields() {
	$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
	$fields->removeByName('Content');
	return $fields;
}
