Widgets zone as template, page parts based on template?

[teodorsandu]

hi, I think the your widgets approach is great, very powerful and flexible. However not EVERY page need that flexibility. People expect to enter data immediatelly into a page, based on a template. Imagine an entry blog -an article- all articles would have a title, slug,breadcrumb title, content(body), summary and some widgets activated. But the widgets would be the same for all of them. I'd suggest to move the widgets zone

to a new Design category named like Templates. Each template will have to implement some Layout (currently only normal.blade) (with/without left/right sidebar, 3 columns etc).
Then each type of page (Blog type, or News type) will have the page parts known and ready to be filled in, based on template which implements. Look at how other CMS does that:

(instead of "Add page part" button )

The "Settings" tab is:

which shows the template used to implement this page.
Of course, the template must be declared at the creation of the page:

to know beforehand which fields must be available for fill in when editing(creating) the page.

So the central point would be creating content for the pages.
A page would:

• implements a template -> who implements a layout
• uses widgets + page parts (fields) declared in template (currently the page parts are added after widgets). The widgets uses snippets (and/or Sections?).
