Creating Variable boxes

I’ve got a TXP website, however, I want to have a box in the bottom corner of each page but change the information in that box from time to time (say weekly), what sort of coding would I have to put on each page or how would I go about doing this without having to go to each individual page every time I decide to put new information in the box section.

Any help would be great.

Re: Creating Variable boxes

You could use <txp: article_custom limit="1" section="bottom-box" form="bottom-article" /> and put it on your page(s) – of course where you want it.

You would have to create a separate section called “bottom-box”, don’t let it display on the frontpage. Also create a form called “bottom-article”. Then when you want to change the information, you’d just write a new article, assign it to the section “bottom-box”, which replaces the former one (that’s what limit=“1” does).
