i have tested you code below and it works fine.
i was just wondering in what circumstances can you use it when its under SiteConfig.

thx

I am not sure what you are asking.

I use it when working with a css menu with image replacement, so you can say: that page corresponds with that position in the menu. There are also other ways to do that, for instance create a page-class where the name corresponds with the the css class or id in the menu and later on gives the body class etc.

Or do you mean: how to get the info out of there?

To get the link to the pages it works like this:
You store the id in $SiteConfig.PortfolioID, but to get the link in your templates you use $SiteConfig.Portfolio.Link

BTW: in php you get access to the data with DataObject::get_one('SiteConfig', '');

hi

Nice, thanks. Perfect for the Google Analytics account number. Also, if there are a lot of contact forms on a site, SiteConfig would be good for the From & To email addresses. Also header & footer stuff like phone/address...

Think I'll be including this in all my SilverStripe sites from now on...

jeremykiveo: Would be nice to change updateEditFormFields to updateCMSFields in your blog post.
