Hello,
New to the forums and to Episerver in general. I have searched up and down Google as well as the Episerver training materials for the solution to this and haven't found one. Here is my situation:
I have a block called BlogAuthorSpotlight. In this block, I want to grab the data from another block called BlogAuthorBlock. BlogAuthorBlock is meant to simply be a properties block. It is not meant to be rendered in a view. I want to use BlogAuthorBlock's data in several other block's views, and render that data in different ways. In this blog we have an Author Spotlight where the image and what is being shown is different, etc. My dillima is I haven't figured out a good way of doing this.
I tried creating a variable for BlogAuthorData within BlogAuthorSpotlight using ContentReference and then pulling the properties through to the model of BlogAuthorSpotlight. That didn't work. I really just need some recommendations here, as a code example isn't really needed as this is a super simple issue, I just don't have the knowledge to figure out how to go about it.
How do I pull the BlogAuthorBlock's data into the BlogAuthorSpotlight block's view in order to have it rendered? Remember, BlogAuthorBlock is simply meant to be properties that can be rendered in several different views.
I hope I clarifyed this problem. Please let me know what you think.
