I am trying to add the same widgets to ALL of the blog entry pages. Perhaps add them to the blog holder page and inherit them on all blog entry pages. I want the widgets to be automatically assigned to all blog entry pages without having to manually add the widgets.
Is there a method to pull from parent, or is there a way built into the blog module to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
I believe that is standard (default) behaviour. As you say, add them to the Holder page, then set blog pages to inherit (default I believe).
I don't know how widgets work since I do not use theme. If it's saved in a relation something like the following could help you out. Silverstripe 3.1.x getting values from Parent or as a Extension/Decorator https://gist.github.com/lerni/1e046af2005494636707
