Open question regarding Dynamic Content

Hello All,

In a project can we have more than 20 dynamic content? Is it feasible to have that much. In our project there are more resuable sections so we have created a dynamic content controls. Take an example of WebSite name[Yahoo]. The site name will be used in almost all the pages. So if we want to place the site name in tinymce, i think from my knowledge we should create a DynamicContent for that. So till now for small small stuffs like FirstName, Last Name where there is resuable, we are creating a dynamic content.

Please let me know if i am in the right direction.

Thanks

This kind of one-piece-of-information-reused-on-many-pages-situation is probably handled very well by the OOTB dynamic content "property from page". You could store all data like that on a specific page and then use this DC to include it in any editor.

Or am I missing something?

We did a token replacement system (twice, in fact). Users could enter this in TinyMCE:

[[SomePropertyName]]

When the page rendered, it would replace that with the contents of "SomePropertyName" off the start page. We did it with a control adapter. Worked quite well, and did have the overhead of interface complicated of Dynamic Content, plus the editor could see the placeholder and what property it corresponded to.
