Problem adding Sidebar Tab to manage content
31 October 2008 at 5:26am
I am building up a site, and following the tutorials, but have hit a problem while trying to add a tab to the admin to manage the sidebar content.
The following code works, showing the Tab, but won't let me save a page instead showing 'Error showing content'. Is there anything very obviously I am doing wrong?
class Page extends SiteTree {
static $db = array(
'Sidebarcontent' => 'Content'
);
static $has_one = array(
);
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Sidebar', new TextareaField('Sidebarcontent'), 'Content');
return $fields;
}

The problem is this link:
'Sidebarcontent' => 'Content'
The piece on the right must either be a core data type or existing data object of some sort.
Try changing it to:
'Sidebarcontent' => 'HTMLText'

Thanks for your answer, this meant that it would save. But the content isn't showing up on the page, and when I return to the tab I have made the content disappears
Any ideas? I was following the tutorial movie, and trying to edit it accordingly.

The content disappears or the Sidebarcontent does?
After you make the changes, run /db/build?flush=1 on your domain URL.
Then call the content in your template using the variable $Sidebarcontent

Excellent,
All working! It was because I hadn't run /db/build?flush=1.
Thank you ever so much for your help!

How would I get the sidebar to accept images?
At the moment it is just showing the link to the image.
