Let's assume you had a website with 'normal' pages and now wanted some other pages that displayed biographies for people working at a company. You can use SilverStripe Framework to extend the normal pages into staff pages, and add new fields, such as role, email address, photo, etc:

);
private static $has_one = array(
'StaffPhoto' => 'Image'
);

public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Staff', TextField::create("Role"));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Staff', UploadField::create("StaffPhoto", "Staff photo"));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Staff', TextField::create("Role")); $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Staff', UploadField::create("StaffPhoto"));

return $fields;
}
}
