    fieldByName ...... Link to this post

    5 August 2008 at 7:23am

    Hi all.
    Just trying to change label in "Root.Content.Main.Title"

    class DepartmentPage extends Page {
    function getCMSFields() {
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

    $gg = $fields->fieldByName("Root.Content.Main.Title"); // same error with filedByName("Title").
    $gg->setTitle("My new Title");

    I get this error
    Fatal error: Call to a member function setTitle() on a non-object in /public_html/silverstripe/tutorial/code/DepartmentPage.php on line 27

    Thanks in advanced.

    got the answer.

    use dataFieldByName("Title")instead fieldByName("Title").

    That leads me to a question?

    What does fieldByName() retrieve?.

    Thanks.

    fieldByName() returns a field at the top level.

    dataFieldByName() checks in tabs as well.
