What is the best way...

I am using Pagelines to create a Photography 'site; to that end, one of the attributes which I need are testimonials. My plan had been to use a sidebar and have one testimonial per page on my 'site, since no one is going to read more than a couple of lines into a big page of text. The first one worked perfectly, vis...

however, when I activate the sidebar on other pages, I get the same text. I created another testimonial in "Secondary sidebar" and then used 'Drag and drop' to add that to a page, deactivating primary sidebar and activating the second, however, all I got was the second testimonial on both pages. I've tried assigning the pages to different page templates and still the same result.

So.. am I doing something incorrectly (most probably), or is this a global function that can't be modified in the way that I want, or, is there a better way to do this altogether? Essentially what I want is a different block of text in a (preferably) sidebar on each page.

Thanks!

Hi John

Take a look at widget logic http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic/ this will allow you to place all the wigets in one sidebar and then turn them on and off depending on what you want to feature per page.

Don't forget some pages are controlled via the 'special pages' tab which overrides the initial templates you've set up on the pages. For example, if you've set up a blog page, you'll need to control the meta options via Pagelines>Page Options rather than through Pages>Blog.
