layout contents modification

[Tradus]

OK, here's a nice thrown at me by one of the users of our databse solution :

Every week there is a specific layout that needs to go out by fax to contacts and prospects. However the contents of the layout need to get chaged every week as it is a promo layout. But... I don't want to allow the users to go into layout mode because of the potential danger for screwups. Is there a way to change the layout by some clever scripting and defining the content as fields or do I need to use some sort of plugin ?

Thanks in advance for brainstorming with me on this.

Yes... if there is an image on the layout, put it into a container field. If there is text, put it into a text field.

Standardise the layout designs (the fewer the better) and keep them simple.

No scripting is necessary, but you could create a script to walk users through the process.
