OK, thanks, yes this helps a lot. It's close to what I thought would be the case and gives me the detail I was missing. I'd like to be able to set sidebar-page-id as an admin setting rather than hard-wiring it (so I can maintain 2 or 3 sidebar pages and switch them once in a while), but I've been reading the blog post below which I think will give me what I need: https://processwire.com/blog/posts/building-custom-admin-pages-with-process-modules/ Follow-up question: does ProcessWire have an analogue to WordPress's Widget API?

Hi, ProcessWire beginner here (though experienced with other CMS and PHP). A simple question regarding the Simple Blog Profile... When installed, the sidebar is edited with each separate page or post and is therefore different with each URL. If I want a "static" sidebar (editable but same content every URL), what's the best way to do that? (thinking aloud) Create a simple page which is hidden from visitors but contains the sidebar content and is called from the _init template? How would I keep a note of that page's identity so it can be loaded each time? Something in config.php or can I have an admin field where I pick the page to be used? Thanks!
