I'm new to programming and need a little (probably a lot) of help. I've been following a bunch of tutorials but can't seem to find what I want. I'm trying to extend my site to display testimonies on the homepage but can't figure out how to do it. I think I need a TestimonyHolder page to display the testimonies but am unsure of how I would access the dataobject there.
I am using ModelAdmin to display a tab in the admin section so a user can populate testimonies.
MyAdmin.php:

<?php
class MyAdmin extends ModelAdmin {

    private static $managed_models = array(
        'Testimonial'
    );
    private static $url_segment = 'testimonials';
    private static $menu_title = 'Testimonials';   
}

This is my Testimonial page:

<?php

class Testimonial extends DataObject {

  private static $db = array(
        'Date' => 'Date',
        'Name' => 'Varchar',
        'Business' => 'Varchar',
        'Testimony' => 'Text'
        
	);

  public function getCMSFields() {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
        
        $dateField = new DateField('Date', 'Testimonial Date (for example: 12/20/2010)');
        $dateField->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
        $dateField->setConfig('dateformat', 'MM/dd/YYYY');
	$fields->replaceField('Date', $dateField);
	
        return $fields;
  }

  public function canDelete($member = null) {
	return Permission::check('CMS_ACCESS_MyAdmin', 'any', $member);
  }
}

Thanks in advance!

You have to create a HomePage class that extends Page, with a function that returns the testimonials:

class HomePage extends Page {
	public function Testiomonials() {
		return Testimonial::get()
	}
}

class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	
}

After that, in your template file (eg. HomePage.ss) you have to loop over the Testimonials:

<ul>
<% loop $Testiomonials %>
	<li>$Name</li>
<% end_loop %>
</ul>

Hope it helps
