thanks dio5, as i am not so deep in silverstripe yet do you have any idea how and where i should add the method.

mille gracie, i really need help here.

i am very sorry - i think i am not making my point clear.

i want to be able to create a new page and add some widgets to the page.
but when i am adding a children pages in the tree i have to add manually again the widgets.
it doesn't automatically takes the widgets from the parent page.

i have extended all pages with the widget by using this code in page.php:
---

<?php

class Page extends SiteTree {
   
   public static $db = array(
   );
   
   public static $has_one = array(
         "Sidebar" => "WidgetArea",
         'PageImage' => 'Image'
   );

   function getCMSFields() {
   $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
   $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Widgets", new WidgetAreaEditor("Sidebar"));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Images", new ImageField('PageImage', 'Page Image'));
   return $fields;
}
   
}

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {   
   
   public function init() {
      parent::init();
      
      /*set locale */
$curLang=Session::get('currentLang');
switch($curLang) {
case "en":
i18n::set_locale('en_US');;
break;
case "de":
i18n::set_locale('de_DE');
break;
}
/*end of set locale*/

      Requirements::themedCSS("layout");
      Requirements::themedCSS("typography");
      Requirements::themedCSS("form");
   }

   function SearchForm() {
$searchText = isset($this->Query) ? $this->Query : 'Search';
      
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextField("Search", "", $searchText)
);

$actions = new FieldSet(
new FormAction('results', 'Go')
);

return new SearchForm($this, "SearchForm", $fields, $actions);
}

function results($data, $form){
$data = array(
'Results' => $form->getResults(),
'Query' => $form->getSearchQuery(),
'Title' => 'Search Results'
);
   
return $this->customise($data)->renderWith(array('Page_results', 'Page'));
}

}

?>

i have also changed the product.php (i.e.) so a product can have a product as parent. At the moment i am having a sitetree like this

..
ProductGroup
-Product A
--Product AA
-Product B
--Product BB

I have changed the product.php because i want to be able to have a product packages which include single products as well as single products as stand alone:

---

static $default_parent = 'Product';

---

So is there a function which i could use that all the children pages display the widgets of the parent-page in the cms as well as on the front end?

thanks so much... whenever you are in germany i will invite you to an "Sauerkraut-Dinner" ;-)
