Hello Nick,
thank you again for your message.
I was trying the "get_i18n_content('xyz')" but even that one doesn't show the special pages content, only the content in the pages wysiwyg. If your sidebars would be special pages, it wouldn't work anymore i guess?
My main purpose for using special pages is the easy way for the customer to manage his side. It's easier for him to just input the image and let everything else the way it is. I use it to create content input for the customer as a form. So he can just add a special page of a product, add images, write title and description and thus has always the same fields to fill out without messing with the code, fonts, sizes, whatever. With the view tab, i can specifiy the design and once the customer has filled the form, each product page looks the same. That's just awsome, cause i can fix the look and feel, while the customer can concentrate on content.
I "misuse" the search-view tab already . Cause i use it to show a list of products in a small preview with the desired fields.
That works only with the search, but is a great solution if you're not a php-programmer.
I use the search as a "loop" to add the same html-code content over and over again, for as long as the desired tags comes with the products page.
Cheers.
