Interesting. It's a low-level error, so if you turn down your error reporting is should at least allow the script to run. Try this in the meantime

I assume you're using a custom gridLabelField? Add ->XML_val to the return values of the obj() method.

506   public function FileLabel()
507   {
508     if($this->parent->gridLabelField)
509       $label = $this->obj($this->parent->gridLabelField)->XML_val;
510     else if($file = $this->obj($this->parent->fileFieldName))
511       $label = $file->Title->XML_val;
512     else
513       $label = "";
514     return strlen($label) > 30 ? substr($label, 0, 30)."..." : $label;
515   }
516   
517 }
518 

If that works, let me know, then undo all your changes to the class and I'll check in a new version. thanks.

Hi Unclecheese

This would be very useful for me. However, I cant get the UI to work correctly.

I installed from svn and am running your Resource and ResourcePage classes as a test.

I can create ResourcePages in the cms, but when i open the popup to add resources, there's nothing underneath the "Upload Files from my computer" bar. See screenshot.

I'm running Firefox 3.0.7 under Mac OS X 10.5, latest Flash player installed.

thanks for your reply

which version would you consider safe to use?

do you expect these issues to be resolved soon?

thanks!

Great addition to SS. Can you give us an example of how to use this on the public page side? Say for your Resource example. In the mysite/templates/Layout folder I created a ResourcePage.ss file. And just adding $Resources to the ss file creates a nice UL list of resource items but the link's href is empty. I'm sure I have just missed something.

That worked :) I'm not using a custom gridLabelField, the ss install is pretty generic. Also, perhaps related, the Title isn't displaying in the grid view of the FileDataObjectManager. I cannot remember if it was displaying before i made the change to FileLabel or not. Attached is what it looks like. The details are all there in the popup :)

Thanks!

@pcbender - All you need is <% control Resources %>. You should read the tutorials on basic DataObject relationships to get started.

@Howard - Try changing this:

511 $label = $file->Title->XML_val;
to this:
511 $label = $file->Title;

Keep track of your changes so i can update the SVN.

@ somaboy - Make sure you can run the demo on this site. http://demo.swfupload.org/v220beta5/applicationdemo/index.php. I'm running Flash Player 10 on OSX without a problem. Let me know if you figure anything out.

A simple example of creating a ResourcePage.ss maybe looks like this?

<div class="typography">

<% if Level(2) %>
<% include BreadCrumbs %>
<% end_if %>

<h1>$Title</h1>

$Content

<% if Resources %>
<ul>
<% control Resources %>
<li><a href="$Attachment.URL">Download $Name</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>

$Form
$PageComments

</div>

Thanks for the reply.

You got it!
