I have searched for quite a while but with no success. Using D7.41, Views 3.
I have a buchlot of nodes of the same content type (~50 nodes) and all of these nodes have images and some text, plus 4-6 blocks of views in each (different text, different images and in some cases different blocks).
Task: to let the content manager edit this master template (change text, images, change blocks for all these 50 nodes), but the changes would then be replicated 20 times - I have exactly same structure replicated for 20 different regions - the same content, different paths. So that would be some kind of "Master template".
I do understand, that all of this could be managed with blocks, when all the content of the page is done via blocks, but maybe there is some other more clever way to achieve this?
Updated: one of the ways to reduce the amount of blocks used, I guess (as per user comment below), would be solution to have fieldable blocks. But in that case there is another question - how to do that?
