hey there!
i want to create a new PageType what shows the Title and Content of another Page.

If i have an ArticleHolder what controls its children and now i want to add in this listing a children from another ParentSite.. i'll get an Problem. First i tried to add an Redirector Page between the ArticlePages, but the Redirector Page does not show the Content of the Page where it Redirects to.

Sooo.. i want to create a new PageType with a field like "ShowMeThisPage".

class GetPressePage extends Page {
   static $db = array(
   'Seitevonpresse' => 'Text'
);
   static $has_one = array(
   );
   
   static $allowed_children = array(
   );
	function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		
		$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Seitevonpresse'), 'Seitevonpresse');
		
		return $fields;
	}
	static $defaults = array(
		'ProvideComments' => false
	);
}

In SilverStripe there are nice PageControls like

<% control Page(my-page) %>$Title<% end_control %>

and

<% control ChildrenOf(page-url) %>

for example. I can show my "Seitevonpresse" field, when i write "$Seitevonpresse" in my GetPressePage.ss, but this:

<% control Page($Seitevonpresse) %>$Title<% end_control %>

dows not work! :(

I dont realy understand the "Dataobject::get ..." stuff.. so maybe someone can help me to find a good answer?
