Editable Areas in Header and Footer

[Anish <an...@techblue.co.uk>]

Hi All

I want to have editable areas in header and footer for the publication. 
For that I have considered following points:

    * There will be editable components (like header background, logo
      image, header text, footer text, links etc) in header and footer.
      These components will be decided at the time of development.
    * User will be able to change the logo, header links, footer, links
      etc. using CMS.
    * I'm considering meta data for storing this header and footer
      information/data, this meta data will be editable by user (using CMS).
    * User will change this header/footer meta data once and new
      header/footer will get reflected for all the pages (even on the
      creation of new XHTML document).


Please suggest
(I'm using Lenya 2.0.3)

I did something similar. The idea is simple:
- add new meta data namespace and add two new tags (e.g. footer and
header). This fields contain the uuid of the underlying footer and
header page that is store in the cms. 
- Then you just need to include this parts via cinclude or whatever
- edit footer and header as you please.
