Hi,

I have SilverStripe 2.4.2 running, with the blog module version 0.4.1. I want to show, let's say, the TagCloudWidget on all pages instead of only the blog section. So as per http://doc.silverstripe.org/widgets I disable the whole widget thingie from BlogTree.php etc. and put the following in Page.php (controller):

function MyTagCloudWidget() {
	$widget = new TagCloudWidget();
	return $widget->renderWith('WidgetHolder');
}

I use $MyTagCloudWidget on Page.ss to show the widget. This works, but when I want to logout of the CMS I get an error:

[User Error] Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'data' does not exist on 'Security'
GET /Security/login?BackURL=%2Fadmin

This on a local MAMP install, but the same happens on a 'real' server. If I remove the $MyTagCloudWidget call, I can login again. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I seem to be able to solve it by using a separate Security_login.ss template, but still I would like to know why the above will happen without such thing. It happens with a vanilla install too, using the BlackCandy theme...

Hi there - I'm having exactly the same issue - did you ever resolve this other than a separate Security_login.ss file?

Many thanks,

Jayne

I've worked around this by changing line 54 in TagCloudWidget.php. I have just one BlogHolder on my website, so for me this did the trick.

//$container = BlogTree::current();
$container = DataObject::get_one('BlogHolder');
