How do add an additional 'Content' box to SS?
8 September 2008 at 4:59am Last edited: 8 September 2008 5:20am
I have added a box to my CMS using a HomePage.php page. When I view the 'Scroller' box in the CMS it is only a single line long and is only text. Please would someone let me know how to get the functionality and size of the 'Content' box in an additional input box.
Many thanks
Michelleclass HomePage extends Page {
static $db = array(
'Scroller' => 'Text'
);
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Scroller'), 'Content');
return $fields;
}
static $has_one = array(
);
}class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
} -

Change it to the htmltext type.
'Scroller' => 'HTMLText'
Then,
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new HtmlEditorField('Scroller'), 'Content');

You can see all the ones you can use in the docs.

I've been trying to do the same (following along with the tutorials)... and I can see the new fields in the CMS, but they aren't saving to the database (except the team photo). The variables are unique as far as I can tell:
<?php
class TeamPage extends Page {
static $db = array(
);
static $has_one = array(
'Photo' => 'Image',
'JobPosition' => 'Text',
'JobTitle' => 'Text',
'JobLocation' => 'Text'
);
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('JobPosition'), 'Content');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('JobTitle'), 'Content');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('JobLocation'), 'Content');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Images', new ImageField('Photo'));
return $fields;
}
}class TeamPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
?> -

You need to put those fields in the $db array, not the has_one array unless you're building relationships between pages. Leave the photo in the has_one though.
Then run domain.com/db/flush=1

The code should be something like this:
static $db = array(
'Photo' => 'Image',
'JobPosition' => 'Text',
'JobTitle' => 'Text',
'JobLocation' => 'Text'
); -

Ok, now I'm stuck again.
I tried adding more than one image to static $db = array( and it threw a bunch of errors. But everything works fine if I only have one image located in: static $has_one = array(
