I am trying to manage multiple files with one page.

This is what I have so far:

class ProductPage extends Page {
   static $db = array(
   );
   
   static $has_one = array(
        'RootFolder' => 'Folder'
   );

   static $has_many = array(
      'ProductDownloads' => 'ProductDownload',
   );
    
   function getCMSFields() {

      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

	  $downloadtable = new ComplexTableField(
    	$this,
        'ProductDownloads', // relation name
        'ProductDownload', // object class
        ProductDownload::$field_names, // fields to show in table
        ProductDownload::getCMSFields_forPopup(), // form that pops up for edit
        "ProductPageID = {$this->ID}", // a filter to only display item associated with this page
        "Position ASC" // Sort by name
	  );
	  $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Downloads', $downloadtable); 

      return $fields;
   }

}

class ProductDownload extends DataObject {
   static $db = array(
      'Title' => 'Text',
	  'Position' => 'Int',
   );
   
   static $has_one = array(
      'File' => 'File',
      'ProductPage' => 'ProductPage',
      'RootFolder' => 'Folder'
   );
   
   static $field_names = array(
      'Title' => 'Title',
      'File' => 'File',
   );
   
   function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
      
      $fields = new FieldSet();
      
	  $fields->push(new TextField('Title', 'Title'));

	  $folderName = $this->RootFolder()->FileName;
	  $folderName = str_replace('assets/','',$folderName);
	  
	  $fields->push(new FileField("File", "File", null, null, null, $folderName));

	  $fields->push(new TextField('Position', 'Position'));
   
      return $fields;
   }

}

I get the following error after uploading a new file:

Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'fortemplate' does not exist on 'File' IN POST /admin/EditForm/field/ProductDownloads Line 724 in /public_html/sapphire/core/Object.php

Any ideas?

The error means you are printing the object out (say by using $File) and the object has no idea how to render itself. You should instead use the attributes of the object say

<% if File %>
<a href="$File.Link">$File.Title</a>
<% end_if %>

In your template.

Thank you Willr!

The error occurs in the backend. Do I need to change any CMS-templates for that?

Oh right sorry, then it must have been something with your code. One issue I can see is the use of FileField as the field type. If you're in the CMS you must use one that supports ajax submissions for example FileIFrameField as the field type.

Thanks again Willr.

Using FileIFrameField doesn't make a change. The error still remains:

This is what I get, when a file has been uploaded an I try to reopen the page:

ERROR [User Error]: Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'fortemplate' does not exist on 'File'
IN POST /admin/getitem?ID=37&locale=en_GB&ajax=1
Line 724 in /home/fsp/public_html/sapphire/core/Object.php

I'm having this problem also, really on a tight deadline and I've wasted hours fumbling around trying to make it work. Any developments for any of the previous posters?
