Approach Question

Hi there,

I have a blog under my /content folder and within the blog, but also within my other contents i want to be able to display quotes.

Therefore I would prefer to have one place to store all quotes which have something like the quote, a picture and some other fields.

I do not want those quotes to be accessible directly, so they should have no page which displays just one quote or an overview page, but i want them to be useable within my blog and other content areas.
There I will probably integrate them via a shortcode.

What is the best way to achieve this?

best regard
Armin

Thank you - exactly what I was searching for. Will give this tomorrow a try

Thanks again, works like a charm - I am not using the shortcode, as I solve it a bit different, but the principle is the same and with that knowledge I might rework some other parts as well, so that I can easily put out parts of my contents easier on other parts of the website.
