Hi again,

I am trying to add a list of blocks to a pagetype. Is that possible ?

Adding one block to a pagetype is offcourse no problem:

public virtual MyBlockType MyBlock { get; set; }

Is it possible to add Multiple blocks (again, like a LinkItemCollection) to pagetype?

EPiServer 7 do not support lists of blocks stored locally on a page type, only typed single instances (a block is basically a group of properties when added to a page type so the same restrictions as properties apply).

We have an articlepage,rendered as an onepager, where the editors can add various content. For instance: a gallery, any number of textcontent etc.

Our first thought was to solve this through blocks. This could however lead to a very large "blocktree" for the editors to manage, given that there could be quite a lot of articles on the page. Hence a solution like LinkItemCollection would be preferable.

Any thoughts?
