Information blocks (similar to products section).
25 March 2012 at 2:30pm Last edited: 25 March 2012 2:31pmHi!
Widget sets system is really very powerful and clever.
I think what you could generalize to be useful to do other things, not just those related to the shopping cart.
A website is only text areas grouped.
I would put another section, similar to products section, but that would control information blocks, each block of information would be similar to the information entered for a product, but the button 'add to cart' not appear.
Likewise, you show areas with products, you could show areas with blocks of information.
This could be useful for many purposes, for example, show the services offered by a company.
This way a company could easily mix only zones with areas of information with zones of products.
SilverCart, along with the SilverStripe ability of blog and forum, would be more than a shopping cart and it would be useful to make all kinds of web pages for any company.
Thanks,
Regards,
Jose

25 March 2012 at 5:59pmHi Jose,
this is a great idea. SilverStripes/ SilverCarts widget system is very powerful and gives the user a certain freedom of design. Still there are some bugs in the widget admin that hopefully go away with SilverStripe 3.0.
We will discuss this on our next team meeting and let you know.
Keep up your good work!
