======================

Add widgets to a page by selecting the widget and then ordering it.

Steps

-----

* Create an area for page specific widgets

* Create widgets as normal and place them in that area

* Add the field to a page and choose that area as the source

* Go to a page with that type and choose widgets from the multiselect

* Order them with the sortable list

### Field Creation

Template Usage

--------------

Fairly easy. Still uses the native/included widgets:instance plugin

``` html



  {{ my_pagewidgets_field_slug }}

    {{ widgets:instance id=id }}

  {{ /my_pagewidgets_field_slug }}



```


Why

---

Clients kept asking to add a widget to a specific page and they were reluctant to learn how to use the widgets short code. Also for my own piece of mind I didn't want them editing templates and breaking stuff.

Now they can manage their widgets on a page-by-page basis instead of area-by-area. Of course area widgets still work but it is up to the template to decide what order to set them in.

``` html



  {{ widgets:area slug="left-sidebar" }}

  {{ my_pagewidgets_field_slug }}

    {{ widgets:instance id=id }}

  {{ /my_pagewidgets_field_slug }}



```


Of course this is what I mean. The widgets in the left-sidebar area will come first and then the widgets assigned to the page will follow.
