Hello!

I want to use widgets on normal pages (for example widgetHtmlContentWidget-1.0.0.tar.gz). So until now
1.) I copied the folder into my root silverstripe folder,
2.) changed the files like here: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=widgets
3.) run "mysite.de/db/build/?flush=1"
4.) drag the widget into the widget field and edited the content (some text and a link)
5.) save&publish

But I can't see any changes. First when I create a "virtual Page" the "htmlWidget" is being displayed under the "virtual Page" link.

So what am I doing wrong? Its the same problem with other widgets too. Can someone help me please? I'm totally confused...

First of all thanks for the answer!

I don't add the widgets to the virtual Page, I want to add them to a normal Page.

The Problem is, that I can't see the widget on my site. I see it first, when I add a virtual Page to this site.

Here is a site with a virtual Page, you can see the widget too:
http://muppet.9dd.de/silverstripe/

Here is a site without a virtual Page but you can't see the widget (even though you should see a widget):
http://muppet.9dd.de/silverstripe/about-us/

So I think there is a variable or something like that what I have to turn on (and what turns on automatically by using a virtual Page)... am I right?

Thanks, that worked!

But now I have another widget problem. I can't remove a widget I set before. Clicking on save or save&publish lets the animation on the save button rotate endlessly.

So I put the line
Director::set_environment_type('dev');
into mysite/_config.php file and there comes a bunch of messages.....
