The website I'm about to create will be used by many editors who would like to share some of their content with one another or simply use the same content on multiple pages (for example some content on ocean floor research may be used on their project page and on a news page).

Can Drupal reuse content in this way or if not, is there some process to get this working?

Thanks!

Yep-- I would checkout the http://drupal.org/project/linodef and http://drupal.org/project/InsertNode modules.

I installed linodef, I think I installed everything correctly, but I only see tags at the bottom of the pages. What I want to do is have the content from multiple pages appear on one page. So content on a page about the ocean and content on another page about the atmosphere can be seen on another page about the earth. Would this module accomplish that?

don't think so-- those modules are aimed at reusing content from one node into another. From the additional info you provided, what you want to do sounds more like something you'd do with views and the panels or composite modules. Or possibly custom template files that embed views.

I do this all the time with the views module. An example what I have done is for a lawyer's website he wanted a page for each of his practice areas. He then wanted to list each practice area and the teaser on a "Practice Areas" page.

Here's what I did:

- created a node type called "Practice Area".
- created each practice area page using the "Practice Area" node type.
- used the Views UI to create a new view call "Practice Areas"
- Created a "Page" display.
- Under Fields I selected "Node: Title" and "Node: Teaser"
- Configured the fields as needed.
- Under Filters I selected "Node Type" and chose "Practice Area"
- Clicked save.

Viola I had a page with content from each of the practice areas.

I know this is an older thread but I hope this helps.
