hello,

I have a question about a own sidebar (not the blog sidebar).
For example:
I have the following pages in my cms:
Home
News
Contact

So, I ceated a sidebar and I want this sidebar only include in the news section, and also on all sublinks from the news section.
My question is now how I can include the sidebar and tell silverstripe its just to show on news (and sublinks from news).
My sidebar file is called "NewsSidebar.ss"

I hope you can understand my question and I hope I posted in the right forum,
regards from germany.

You could do

<% control Level(1) %>
<% if Title = News %>
... show sidebar
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>

hi,

thanks for your answer..
but what is about the sub pages of "News".. they have other titles, so the sidebar would not be included, right?

I think you can use the InSection-control for that.

I searched for "In section control" in the silverstripe docu ( http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php ), but I found nothing about it.

so, could you please tell me more about that function?

No because that code is controlling over the Level(1) it returns the titles of the top most level pages.

InSection would work well for this - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=built-in-page-controls&s=insection.

<% if InSection(blog) %>
....
<% end_if %>

Hi. Thanks.

How can I do this for different pages. I guess, for forum and blog pages something like:

<% if InSection(forum) or InSection(blog) %>
				$Layout
<% else %>
			<div id="main">
				$Layout
			</div>
	
				<% include SideBar %>
<% end_if %>

but it doesn't work and gives me error.
