more than one widget does not seem to work about silverstripe-widgets HOT 6 CLOSED

I can't reproduce this error, using 3.1.x-dev framework/CMS and master blog. What about widgets doesn't work? Do you get an error? Is the template rendered incorrectly?

from silverstripe-widgets.

Sorry for the cryptic message. We had widgets loaded onto a site and only the first one (or last on - can remember) would show on the front-end. Also, the use of some fields (e.g. treedropdownfield) does not work on widgets.

Thanks for the info, I'll check it out again.

the treedropdownfield error (and other form fields) is documented all over the place, it has something to do with the "form" object not being available to the field object.

e.g.

$this->Form()->foo()

throws an error (method foo called on a non-object) on a form field when used in the widgets. Not all form fields call "form" and so the basic form fields work, but the trickier ones don't.

I remember having this issue in the past, a solution for me was to make sure each widget $Content was in a uniquely named element: http://www.silverstripe.org/community/forums/widgets-2/show/16123#post309314

Hi @sunnysideup @MattyBalaam, I'm going to close this as it's fairly old and stale now. If this is still an issue, please feel free to reopen. Thanks!
