Page independent Content (global Content)
13 July 2009 at 2:33am
Hi folks,
i know someting about the programming model of silverstripe, but one thing is hard to find out (even with the german book SilverStripe). How can i have some page independet content on each page. This content should be editable in the backend.Any suggestions?

Hi
Usually I add "global" content like this to a Page that only exists once. Like the HomePage.
Then I add a getter Method to the Page baseclass to always have access to the HomePage. Eg:// this belongs in Page_Controller
public function HomePage(){
return DataObject::get_one('HomePage');
}So, if my HomePage has a Field called "GlobalContent", I can output it in any template using:
$HomePage.GlobalContent -

Thank you very much!
This works great!
I think SilverStripe should provide such a thing for some global template variables, such as Page Title, Site Name and Tagline (etc.)Greets,

Hi,
seems like HomePage is a sublcass of Page. And the function returns the first page having the pagetype HomePage.
Is it possible to use the template var $HomePage.GlobalContent inside the content of another page using tinyMCE?
I am just currious because UserDefinedForms is uses $UserDefinedForms inside content which refers to the same function in the contoller.
Does this work for $HomePage.Content aswell inside $Content of the current page (via tinyMCE)?
kind regards

UserForms uses a method like http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=recipes:customising-content-in-your-templates to get that to work which is a bit nasty but the easiest solution for now.
