I have

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

    public function init() {
        parent::init();
        Requirements::customCSS(<<<CSS
            #FaderCell1 {
                background-image: url($BannerImg1.URL);
            }
            #FaderCell2 {
                background-image: url($BannerImg2.URL);
            }
            #FaderCell3 {
                background-image: url($BannerImg3.URL);
            }
            CSS
        );
    }

}

I've even copied/pasted directly out of the docs example and this still results in this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /var/www/html/mydomain/mysite/code/Page.php

http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/reference/requirements#custom-inline-scripts

Are you sure "CSS" is on a line by itself with no white space either side? That is all I can think of...

Thanks, swaiba!

I didn't realize heredoc syntax required that. That solved that problem, but now I'm getting this:

[Notice] Undefined variable: BannerImg1.URL

Any ideas?

Thanks, again,
Chris

EDIT: And yes...I'm sure that variable exists. If I create a style block in my template it works fine.

Hi Prawnstar,

The $Variable.Method syntax only works in templates, so that won’t work. You’ll need to do something like $this->BannerImg1()->getURL()

Loz

Loz,

Thank you so much! Makes perfect sense, I should have realized that.

Best,
Chris

Grrr...Spoke too soon.

That actually doesn't work. According to this:
http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/reference/requirements#custom-inline-scripts

Even a direct copy paste of that example code and changing the vars to match my image doesn't work.

SilverStripe just throws me the middle finger

[Notice] Undefined variable: BannerImg1

The var alone should work, but doesn't. Does anybody have an example of working code?

OK, I'm convinced this is a bug unless someone can show me their working code. Using SS 3.1

I just created a fresh install of SS and this is my Page.php:

<?php
class Page extends SiteTree {

	private static $db = array(
	);

	private static $has_one = array(
        'MyImg' => 'Image'
	);

	public function getCMSFields() {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new UploadField('MyImg'), 'Content');
        return $fields;
    }

}
class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

	private static $allowed_actions = array (
	);

	public function init() {
		parent::init();
Requirements::customCSS(<<<CSS
    .test {
        background-image: url($MyImg);
    }
CSS
);
	}

}

...according to the docs, this is correct.

After adding an image to my page, then viewing source the generated source looks like this:

<style type="text/css">
    .test {
        background-image: url();
    }
</style>

I've tried Loz's suggestion in my controller:

$this->$MyImg()->getURL()

which results in this, in my generated code:

background-image: url(Page_Controller->()->getURL());

I also tried this:

$this->$MyImg

Which resulted in this:

background-image: url(Page_Controller->);

Any thoughts?

That would be obvious, as $MyImg is never created:

   public function init() {
      parent::init();
Requirements::customCSS(<<<CSS
.test {
background-image: url($MyImg);
}
CSS
);
   } 

You'd at least need to add:

$MyImg = $this->BannerImg1()->getURL();
