Not sure if this is already a feature or not (if it is can you please let me know how to do it)

It would be great if I could set up a page that has a number of components/webparts already added and configured, then save this page out as a template.  Then when creating a new page, select that template as the basis for the page (so I don't have to add and configure all the components again)

Thanks

Please ignore my reply, i read your message a bit too quickly the first time.

Great to hear its on the drawing board, think it would be a great addition to the cms, as maybe the business customers might not be so web savvy, and this would definatley help them create pages a bit quicker.

Many thanks joe, im a devoted fan of mojo as you know. 

Happy new year

Hi Joe,

Thats not quite what i meant.

I have a site, that requires 4 layouts, and yes some can be made using the left pane/center pane/right pane, and for some designs, i can produce an extra skin to accomplish what i need, thats no problem.

Though this is great for a developer who knows mojoportals flexibility, I would like to tighten up the process for my users who create pages. They wont be as experienced, and will forget what elements should be on the page, and may stray from the designs set out. Just like the fck editor,when you prevented users from selecting crazy colours, fonts and sizes, and only giving them a drop down on font styles, I want to do the same with pages.

I want them to be able to select a skin, create the page, and then edit the html fragments that already appear on the page, which will contain dummy text and images. The benefit for the users is that its quicker, they dont have to refer to other pages to determine what elements are required (i.e i need a fragment in the top frame, and on in the right and one in the alternate pane etc), and hopefully the site will stay consistent. Once the user is good with this, i can then teach them how to add new features. 

Thats my goal anyhow, simplicity for the user at the beginning, and then introduce the full power of the cms bit by bit once the user gets more competent.

Apologies for the long email, i hope it goes some way to explain my rationale behind the request.

Many Thanks

Tim
