Make text in Pages that is created from a template not editable

Hendrik Süßenbach

Hello ,

 

I have the Following question.

 

I mad a tamplate with some indexes and descriptions for that specific template.

If i now create a page out of it i still can delete or edit that Text etc.

So i mean that i have some content that is locked for that created page.

Is there some kind of way where i can change that so that it is only editable in the template and not in the page.

Generally no. But as a workaround, place the text you want to control in a include (or an excerpt) that you can then reference in your template. You can then set edit rights on the include/excerpt to prevent editing.

Now a user could still delete the include/excerpt, but this method would get you most of the way there.

Docs for the two macros are here:
