I have the following content types

  • Testimonial Page (Inherits from Page)
  • Testimonial Video (Inherits from Video)

I have a page layout that is based off of the Testimonial Page content type. I added a column of type Rich Media Field (part of the publishing features). This column has a media player. I am able to point it to a video file, which is of type Testimonial Video. In my page layout, I need to be able to display fields from both the Testimonial Page and Testimonial Video content type.

Is this possible?

Multiple inheritance isn't possible. What I would do is:
Create a new content type (Testimonial Video Page) that inherits from Testimonial Page and add the fields from the Testimonial Video.
It's a bit more work...

  • This won't work for us. We're trying to keep the video separate because it will be used in other aspects of the application.

    Than (in my opinion) it isn't possible

You could just add the needed fields from 1 of the 2 type to a new content type based on the other of the 2 existing types. Call it Testimonial Page With Video

So you'd get

  • Testimonial Page (your existing ctype)
    • Testimonial Page with Video (new ctype, derived from Testimonial Page)
  • Testimonial Video (your existing ctype)

Assign another page layout to this content type that includes the fields.

  • I still don't understand what you're trying to suggest here. I still don't see how it is possible.
