Rich Text - No Title Content Type

[Allie Lopez-Cuadra]

Hi :)

We created a "Rich Text - No Title" content type. We use it within our website when we want to display html text but do not want a title associated with the content. For example, appointment booking code:

Now usually this works fine because we only have 1 of these content type per website but we hit a bit of a snag....We have a website that requires 2 of these booking engines...it looks like the system sees it as 1 piece of content because when I try and insert the second content, it replaces the code in the first one.

How can I tell dotCMS that they are 2 unique pieces of content? I thought that maybe if I inserted a "Title" it might help but it didn't do the trick.

Thanks for any help!

1) Perhaps a radio/select for the two different pages/environments? (To be used on page x, to be used on page y) This approach would help with editing as well so no one accidentally changes the incorrect one when searching. 

2) Make a clone of the structure, but that would make you change your code and containers.

3) Add 'Unique' to the body (or title, i guess) which would require some thought and manipulation, but would avoid dupes.

Just 3 quick ideas that should work without knowing more about your architecture. If there are reasons these approaches won't work, let me know why and I will think again,

Just a technical note. Not sure if this has changed in newer versions of dotCMS.


$title is a system field/property of all content, whether or not you actually have a title field defined. It's default value is typically the first eligible value in the field list.


In a container loop, I think $title should get over-written by the next one in the loop like any other property.


Also, do you have a content limit on that container? The behavior might be caused by exceeding the limit. (Replacing rather than adding.)

Ok, all of those sound like great options...I really like the radio button idea but that might be beyond my dotCMS knowledge so what I did was created a code snippet widget for both and it is working.
