DataObjectManager to enhance Blog module?
18 August 2009 at 3:55am
I've been using the Blog module and it does a good job. However, after a few months of daily blogging, having each blog entry in the site tree is painful, and using a datagrid to manage them in the admin area would be much easier.
If I understand correctly, there's no way to give an item a URL unless it extends Page - because nothing has a URL alias assigned unless it's present in the site tree. Neither is there any option to say 'This is a page, but hide it in the admin site tree'.
Because of this, my attempts so far to use DataObjectManager (along the lines of its testimonial example) have failed.
Has anyone else managed, or got ideas for how this can work?

You can absolutely give a DataObject subclass its own page.
pseudo code..
MyDataObjectHolder extends Page
{
has_many MyDataObjects...function view()
{
return DataObject::get_by_id("MyDataObject",$this->urlParams['ID']);
}
}then in MyDataObjectHolder.ss
/dataobject-holder/view/123
<% control view %>
$DataObjectProperty1
$DataObjectProperty2
<% end_control %> -

Thanks UncleCheese, I'm getting somewhere however run into an error.
My code:
<?php
class PrayerPage extends Page
{
static $has_many = array (
'Prayers' => 'Prayer'
);public function getCMSFields()
{
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Prayers", new DataObjectManager(
$this,
'Prayers',
'Prayer',
array('Date' => 'Date','Title'=>'Title','Author' => 'Author'),
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
));
return $f;
}}
class PrayerPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
public function view() {
return DataObject::get_one('Prayer', "Date='{$this->urlParams['ID']}'");
}}
?>Stepping through with the debugger, the right record is fetched from the database. However things go haywire and die with the error:
[User Error] Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'getviewer' does not exist on 'Prayer'
GET /pray-for-us/view/2009-08-12Line 551 in /var/www/navs/htdocs/sapphire/core/Object.php
Any idea what causes this error?
Thanks!

PrayerPage.ss:
<div id="feature"></div>
<div id="maincol">
<% control view %>
<p>$Date
<p>$Title
<p>$Content
<% end_control %><h1>$Title</h1>
<% if Level(2) %>
<% include BreadCrumbs %>
<% end_if %>
$Content
$Form
$PageComments</div>
<% include SideBar %>

try $view.Date, $view.Title, etc.. instead of jumping into the control.
Here's a good tutorial for you

To document the fix for others:
You can't return a DataObject from a controller method! I copied this code from somewhere, I guess it's a template object being returned:
class PrayerPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
public function view() {
$object = DataObject::get_by_id('Prayer', $this->urlParams['ID']); #get_one('Prayer', "Date='{$this->urlParams['ID']}'");if($object) {
return $this
->customise(array('Prayer' => $object))
->renderWith(array('Prayer', 'Page'));
} else {
Director::redirect(Director::absoluteBaseURL() . 'not-found');
}
}
}
