Greetings!
The directions for displaying blog post content onto another page (like the home page) is well documented in the theme documentation: Display content from one page on another page.
I want to do something a little more simple, but undocumented.
I want to make three different text boxes on the home page (in addition to what would normally show up in the {yeild}). The tricky part is that I want to make it easier for the client to edit this text. What I would like to do is make three pages, each page holding the content for one of the text boxes on the home page.
Then, in the home page code, somehow pull that text into the text box on the home page.
A look through the theme documentation did not reveal a page.content or some other thing which I could use. I was thinking of adapting the {% for post in page.blog.most_recent_blog_posts limit:3 offset:0 %} code, but I can't figure this out without a little nudge.
Rolling this out would be a boon to most of my clients who want greater control over the content in what has been heretofore a difficult place to edit.
Thank you!
Hi Tim, have had a chance to look through Richir Outreach's technique for adding admin links to pages? This may be what you're looking for. You can view it here: http://www.richiroutreach.com/nationbuilder-theme-guide/add-edit-page-link-pages-no-sidebar
You can also use the same logic as outlined in the theme documentation to pass certain elements of a page using the {% subpage %} tag. Instead of including all of the individual post variables shown in the example, you would just use the {{ post.blog_post.content_full }} or {{ page.basic.content }} output tag accordingly. Richir also has a post explaining the process, you can find it here.

{% for child in page.most_recent_published_descendants limit:4 offset:0 %}{% subpage ‘news’ with “blog_latest” %}
Results in:
Liquid syntax error: Error in tag ‘subpage’ – No such page slug ‘news’
HOWEVER, if you enter:
{% subpage “news” with “blog_latest” %}
Note the double quotes for “news”—-
Then the posts are rendered correctly.
Your solution doesn’t seem to work anymore. Could the NationBuilder staff elaborate on this?
I’ve created the file “_page_billboard.html” with this content:
This is the billboard custom styling
Then I created a page “Billboard Content” with the slug “billboard_content” and content:
This is the billboard content
And then I created a homepage with slug “landing_page” and with the template:
{% subpage “billboard_content” with “page_billboard” %}
After refreshing the page I see the message
“Liquid syntax error: Error in tag ‘subpage’ – No such page slug ‘billboard_content’”
Obviously the partial isn’t going to render the subpage content, but I definitely wasn’t expecting an error.
I have tried making the page with the slug “billboard_content” both a regular page and a sub-page of the landing_page to no avail. What is up with this? I could hard-code all of the copy into the site but ideally the end-user should be able to edit it.

Step one:
Create an include file in your theme’s files directory called “_page_content.html”. This file has just this one line: { { page.basic.content } }
(take the spaces out between the braces).
Step two:
Create a page of type basic which has the text you want to insert somewhere. I like to give the slug an obvious name like text_for_homepage_panel. In the content window, type the text you want to insert.
Step three:
On the page where you want this content to appear, put this line: { % subpage “slug” with “page_content” % }
Again, take the spaces out between the braces. Replace “slug” with the slug of the page you created in step 2.
That’s it!

How can I just display content from a regular page?
