The Sidebar

THE SIDEBAR is a special Layout that automatically generates a global Sidebar from everything that is published within it.

You can configure it in the Theme Designer: place it to the left, to the right, or merge it with the body to make a footer.

Layouts you create in the Sidebar becomes flat menus.

Pages you create in the Sidebar becomes content boxes - areas with text, images, or other media.

Widgets you create here will appear as content boxes or buttons. When the Sidebar is a Footer, it will not display Widgets. In this case, place your Widgets in the SiteFooter instead.

Make Sidebar items context-sensitive: Sidebar items are embedded in other pages, so their Keywords fields has no relevance for SEO or Search Engines. Here, Keywords are used for context-sensitivity instead.

Any Sidebar item will be displayed on all pages unless they have keywords. Use the filename [the URL fragment] of any Page as the keyword, and the Sidebar item will only be displayed there. Comma-separate filenames to add any number of specific pages.

The Sidebar is a System Object: it cannot be deleted, renamed, or moved.
