Can I re-use dynamic data blocks in multiple places?

2

Having setup a dynamic data block, can I now re-use this on several pages, or do I need to set up a new block in each page where I want the same functionality?

    Hi Ken,

    When adding a block to a page, it's possible using the modal as mentioned here: http://www.rockrms.com/Rock/BookContent/14/14#addingablocktoapage (see #5 on behind that link).

    Hope that helps,

      Thanks Jeremy. I'll play with this. I guess to avoid the block being reproduced on ALL pages with a generic layout it's possible to create a new page layout on which this block appears, and then to use that new layout exactly where it is needed...

      Hey Ken,

      I think the only way to reuse them would be to put the block in the 'All Pages Using '<insert page style>' Layout from within Page Zones.  I'm sure you know this already but for anyone else who might be experiencing a similar issue this is covered in the Designing and Building Websites Using Rock documentation.
