Hi, I posted this on the google group too.

I'm building my first Silverstripe powered website for a corporate site. I am really enjoying the ease and speed of development, but I've hit a snag: for one page subclass the generated html is missing the stylesheets in the head and menu elements in 'control Menu' template tags.

Page is called 'DocumentsGroup.php':

class DocumentsGroup extends Page {
	static $db = array();
	
	static $has_many = array(
		'Documents' => 'Document'
	);
	
	function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		
		$tablefield = new HasManyComplexTableField(
			$this,
			'Documents',
			'Document',
			array(
				'DocName' => 'Document Title',
				'DocPublishDate' => 'Release Date'
			),
			'getCMSFields_forPopup'
		);
		
		$tablefield->setAddTitle( 'A Document' );
		
		$fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.Documents', $tablefield );
		
		return $fields;
	}
}

class DocumentsGroup_controller extends Page_Controller {
	function init() {
		parent::init();
	}
}

Document is a DataObject - Document.php looks like:

class Document extends DataObject {

	static $db = array(
		'DocName' => 'Text',
		'DocDescription' => 'Text',
		'DocPublishDate' => 'Date',
	);
	
	static $has_one = array(
		'MyDocumentGroup' => 'DocumentsGroup',
		'DocFile' => 'File'		
	);
	
	function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
	
		$fields = new FieldSet();
		$fields->push( new TextField( 'DocName', 'Document Title' ) );
		$fields->push( new TextareaField( 'DocDescription', 'Description') );
		$fields->push( new CalendarDateField( 'DocPublishDate', 'Release Date') );
		$fields->push( new FileIFrameField( 'DocFile', 'Upload Document' ) );
		
		return $fields;
	
	}
}

In my Page.php, I'm using the Requirements::themedCSS calls to include stylesheets. For normal 'pages' and a couple of other page subclasses I have created, this is working fine. For some reason, this particular page type is ditching the CSS and menu items.

Ie, this:

 <ul>
	<% control Menu(1) %>
	<li class="$LinkingMode"><a href="$Link" title="Go to $Title.XML">$MenuTitle</a></li>
	<% end_control %>
</ul>

Just generates as

<ul></ul>
regardless of where in the sitetree the page is, or how many children/siblings/parents the node has.

Any clues? Thanks in advance!

Just a note, I tried putting this in the DocumentsGroup_Controller class

	
function init() {
	parent::init();
}

as an attempt to fix but it's not longer in the source. It didn't help.

I've also rebuilt/flushed/cleared cache etc with no change.

Thanks

OMG, just figured it out myself... lower cap c in "DocumentsGroup_Controller". Didn't throw any errors tho - shouldn't it check that the class exists?
