I have a "magazine issue" content type that references several "article" nodes. The challenge is that those articles live in a media section that is not the magazine section. When I click on a referenced article in a magazine issue, I leave the context of that magazine to the news context and the navigation/theme changes. Ouch!

Any way I can have a node live in multiple sections of the website? I know it's bad SEO, but if I can make that part work, I can start hooking in noindex features for the magazine context as damage control.

Thanks much for brainstorming with me in advance!

Best regards,

Chris

Here's a thought that may work with SEO and Context module:

What if I keep the nodes living in their homes (e.g. article in media section), and just pass a context argument I can use for context module use that will keep theme, menu, etc...

Example link:
media/news-briefs/article-title?context=magazine

Would that be "OK" or still be considered as duplicate content with the following:

media/news-briefs/article-title
media/news-briefs/article-title?context=magazine

I'm guessing it would be better than:

media/news-briefs/article-title
media/my-magazine/article-title

Any thoughts?

Thanks

EDIT:
The "?context=magazine" part seems to be ignored... probably not valid in URLs?

EDIT:
Context PHP module may do the trick.

EDIT:
I'm following the suggestion by the Context PHP module page to create my own $_GET context module using this blog as reference:
