Hi,

I successfully added some page types, like this:

class consultingPage extends Page {
static $db = array();
static $has_one = array();
public function pageCodeForCss() {
return 'consulting';
}
}

class consultingPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

}

I have updated the database, and consultingPage is now a page type. Here are some questions I have:

1. What is the proper way to delete the pagetype again?

2. How can I access the extra variable I would like to add to the pageType from within the .ss templates?

3. within the CMS, how can I change the add pagetype list? I want certain templates only to be available in certain parts of the sites, plus, I dont really want the newsletter option to be available, etc...

Thanks

Nicolaas

1. Make sure any pages using that class name are reset back to Page before deleting the php file and rebuilding the database. Otherwise, you'll get an error about 'templates not found' or 'couldn't find this class name'.

2. Accessing an extra variable? if you've added it to the static $db = array() then you can call it directly. eg. static $db = array('CoolThing' => 'Text');

You then just use $CoolThing in your template

3. There currently isn't any functionality supporting this, I don't believe. However, you could probably go about doing this starting with SiteTree.php.

Cheers,

Hi

I have just done this, but I get a bad error:

<b>Fatal error</b>: Class 'about' not found in <b>/home/winsboroughconz/www/sapphire/core/Object.php</b> on line <b>71</b><br >

I have not changed anything in the about class!

What did I do wrong?
