I need to have two sidebars, and two widgetareas for them.

but when I add the two WidgetAreaEditors, the second WidgetAreaEditor doesn't work. I just try to check what has happened and I found that both the WidgetAreaEditors use the same ID WidgetAreaEditor_availableWidgets.

has anyone got a solution for this?

Maybe it will be useful for someone.
The only way to have two sidebars I found at the moment is:

• Create 2 new classes like:
  

  class SidebarOne extends Page {
  	static $db = array();
  	static $has_one= array(
  		"SideBar" => "WidgetArea",
  	);
  class SidebarTwo extends Page {
  	static $db = array();
  	static $has_one= array(
  		"SideBar" => "WidgetArea",
  	);

  
  
• Then you can get them with (put this in Page_Controller):
  

  /*** Get Widgets to show 'em on a page*/
  public function GetSidebarOne(){
   return DataObject::get_one("SidebarOne");
  }
  public function GetSidebarTwo(){
   return DataObject::get_one("SidebarTwo");
  }

  
  
• In templates use smth like:
  

  <% if GetSidebarOne %>
  	<% control GetSidebarOne %>
  		$SideBar
  	<% end_control %>
  <% end_if %>

  
  

Not sure if it is the best way, but nevertheless.
