Hey SilverRay!

I got it to work. I just did exactly what your example showed and I got that to work.

Now I will see what I can do to adapt it... I'll keep you informed.

Thank you,
Steve

It's all working!

I have a page called PageGlobal.php - setup the way you mentioned.

I put this page under an Unpublished page so it does not show up in my navigation.

I then called the page, Global Settings on Level 2 nav. Published. This is so the page is available. However, because it is under an unpublished page, it does not show up in the site map - that is good.

However, I also needed to set the google setting to "Not Published" so it is not part of the sitemap.xml file.

Now my Home page behaves just like any other page, and I have a specific nav page for global settings. This will make more sense to my clients. Plus, before they get the site, all of their pages are already setup, they just need to edit and take it from there.

Thank you again for offering your help here.

I am trying to add a global background image. I think I am close on this following the advise in this thread...
I have the code all working on the page. I also have a background image that can be changed per page.

I get this error when on the "Global" Background Image tab

[Notice] Undefined index:
POST /images/index/PageGlobal/25/SiteBackground/EditImageForm

Line 157 in /home/landingp/public_html/sapphire/core/ClassInfo.php

151 static function ancestry($class, $onlyWithTables = false) {

154 if(is_object($class)) $class = $class->class;
155 else if(!is_string($class)) user_error("Bad class value " . var_export($class, true) . " passed to ClassInfo::ancestry()", E_USER_WARNING);

160 if(!DataObject::has_own_table($item)) unset($items[$item]);
161 }
162 return $items;
163 }

------------------

This is working on my Page.ss file

<% if BackgroundImage %>
<style>
body {
background-image:url($BackgroundImage.URL);
background-position:top center;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>
<% else %>
<% if callGlobalBg.PageGlobal %>
<style>
body {
background-image:url($callGlobalBg.PageGlobal.URL);
background-position:top center;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>
<% else %>
<style>
body {
background-image:url(assets/Backgrounds/bg-body.jpg);
background-position:top center;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>

-----------------

This is my PageGlobal.php page - everything we have been talking about is working. I am now trying to get the background image to work. I get the error above when trying to add the image on the form.

<?php

class PageGlobal extends Page {

   public static $db = array(
      'MyFooter' => 'HTMLText'
   );
   
   public static $has_one = array(
      "GlobalBackgroundImage" => "Image"
   );

   function getCMSFields() {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root', new TabSet('GlobalContent'));
	  
      $fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.GlobalContent.PageFooter', new HtmlEditorField('MyFooter', 'Edit the content and links below for your business. Make sure to test all the links on your site.'));
      $fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.GlobalContent.BackgroundImage', new ImageField('SiteBackground', 'Add a site background here. This will change the background image on all pages. This will not override single page backgrounds.'));
	  
	  $fields->removeByName("ScriptsAndTracking");
	  $fields->removeByName("OptionalPageImages");
	  $fields->removeByName("StickyNote");
	  
      return $fields;
   }

}

class PageGlobal_Controller extends Page_Controller {

?>

My Page.php file

    return DataObject::get_one('PageGlobal');

I got it all working!
