Hi All,
I'm creating a site that uses some sidebar content that is well suited for widgets (short lists, links, bits of text, etc). However, while the content needs to be editable (like the HtmlContentWidget), many pages would share the exact same content.

What I'd like to do is specify the content once in the CMS, and have all instances of the widget across multiple pages reflect the change. I'd almost call it a "Global Widget". Does this make sense? Any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated.

Basm,
I wasn't finding a good solution to the problem, so I wrote a widget to do exactly that. I've attached it to this post (Ask and ye shall receive!). It will pull the content from any page on your site. For example, you could make a "Contact Us" page, install this widget on three different pages, point each instance to "Contact Us", and they would all share the same info. Makes updating easy.

I actually submitted the widget to this site months ago, but It fell into a void, and I never heard from any site admins.

*******If you are a site admin reading this, please approve my widget to help this problem *******

As a note, I haven't tried it on the most recent version of SS, so if you run into any problems, let me know.

Edit: There are two files attached. Use the one titled "PageContent2". I tried deleting the first, doesn't seem to work.
