Thanks for the helpful info.
I couldn't get your suggestion to work -- error of unexpected ");" kept popping up -- until I removed a couple of commas after 'LinkText' => 'LinkText' and 'getCMSFields_forPopup' in LinksPage.php (See below for modified version).

$LinkField = new HasManyComplexTableField(
$this,
'Links',
'Link',
array(
'Link' => 'Link',
'LinkText' => 'LinkText'
),
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
);

Is there a way of having a drop down selection of the available internal links rather then having to manually enter in each link -- similar to your static sidebar tutorial, but also still having the "Add a link" option so that one can a number of links with only one drop down menu of links (pop-up?)

Thanks,
Sam

Hello Aram,

How about making 2 or even 3 CMS editable blocks that appear on all pages?

Hello aram,

I've managed to add the static sidebar as you describe in your article on ssbits to my website. However, when I try to add a poll to it using the poll module (http://doc.silverstripe.org/modules:polls?s[]=poll) nothing happens.

I know the poll module is working because if I add the $MyPoll call in the Sidebar.ss file immediately above or below the <% include StaticSidebar %> line, it works. However when I add the $MyPoll call in the StaticSidebar.ss file immediately below the <h3> line, nothing happens.

Do you have any idea as to why this might be happening?

My goal is to have a random poll visible on every page, not just the pages that have a dynamic sidebar.

Thanks,
James

PS: Please let me know if you need more information to help solve this problem, I'm a newbie at web development in PHP, so I don't really know what additional information would be of use to you.

Aram,

That did the job perfectly, thank you very much.

James
