Cross page changes - Post ID 273363

I've read some interesting things concerning php that will allow cross page changes in large sites. I have a 400 page site that was constructed in coffee grinder and would like to do some changes on almost every page. But the truth is - I don't get it. Has anybody made a video (or what ever) with detailed explanation?

Thanks

It is fairly easy, but you need to consider what programme you want to use, and if it might be better to do this with the built-in 'symbols' in RSD2.
The other method is using 'php includes', which will have to be done after export from RSD to a html editing programme. And then of course you will not be able to move the files back into RSD, And if you edit something else on the site, and export it, the php stuff will be overwritten.
Whichever way you go about it, the first time will take quite a bit of time. Think though how you want to do this, and if necessary, and if nobody else has explained it already, I can do so tomorrow (it's waaayyy past midnight here...)

Ha en riktig god dag!

What kind of changes?

For example, a navigation bar at the top of your page would appear on every page. However, the content in the body of the page is different on every page. Are you talking about something that appears on every page (like a nav bar) or are you talking about changing non-repetitive content (like body text)?

Also, you mentioned the site is created in Coffeegrinder, so you obviously built it in RSD. Which version are you using now?

I am using current RSD but this site was built last year.

Is it possible edit different sections? Like if I want ot change Meta tags for instance. Maybe certain parts of a body copy
