dynpages, components and custom fileds not resolving my porblems

[sal]

Using a custom field (requires I18N Custom Fields plugin) is a better way to go about it as you get a WYSIWYG editor and the sidebar content is easier to find and edit in the backend. You can then fall back onto a default sidebar component if you wish.

Code:

<?php

if (return_custom_field('sidebar');) {
  get_custom_field('sidebar');
}
else {
  get_i18n_component('sidebar');
}

?>
