Hello guys,

I´m working on an simple form with which users can save information. The form works pretty good, but I also want to save the name of the author (currentMember) from these entry.

I´ve found some code that work with an onBeforeWrite-function which gets the author id. But I can´t figure out how I can use this to save the author name in cms.

Here´s my code:

--------------------Meldung.php--------------------

class Meldung extends DataObject{
      static $db = array(
         'Datum' => 'Date',
         'Ausrichter' => 'Text',
         'Klasse' => 'Text',
         'gemeldet' => 'Boolean'
      );
      
      static $has_one = array(
         'Meldeliste' => 'Meldeliste',
         'Author' => 'Member'
      );
      
      function getCMSFields(){
         $fields = new FieldSet(
            new DateField('Datum', 'Datum'),
            new TextField('Ausrichter', 'Ausrichter'),
            new TextField('Klasse', 'Klasse'),
            new CheckboxField('gemeldet', 'gemeldet')
         );
         return $fields;
      }
      
      function onBeforeWrite(){
         if(!$this->ID){
            $currentMember = Member::currentMember();
            if($currentMember){
               $this->AuthorID = $currentMember->ID;
            }
         }
         parent::onBeforeWrite();
      }
   }

--------------------Meldeliste.php--------------------

class Meldeliste extends Page{
      static $db = array();
      
      static $has_many = array(
         'Meldeliste' => 'Meldung'
      );
      
      function getCMSFields(){
         $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
         $meldeTabelle = new ComplexTableField(
            $this,
            'Meldeliste',
            'Meldung',
            null,
            null,
            "Meldung.MeldelisteID = {$this->ID}"
         );
         $fields -> addFieldtoTab('Root.Content.Meldeliste', $meldeTabelle);
         return $fields;
      }
   }
   
   class Meldeliste_Controller extends Page_Controller{
      function Form(){
         $fields = new FieldSet(
            new DateField('Datum', 'Datum'),
            new TextField('Ausrichter', 'Ausrichter'),
            new TextField('Klasse', 'Klasse')
         );
         
         $actions = new FieldSet(
            new FormAction('doSubmitEntry', 'Turnier melden')   
         );
         
         $validator = new RequiredFields(
            'Datum',
            'Ausrichter',
            'Klasse'   
         );
         
         $form = new Form(
            $this,
            'Form',
            $fields,
            $actions,
            $validator
         );
         return $form;
      }
      
      function doSubmitEntry($data, $form){
         $Meldung = new Meldung();
         $form->saveInto($Meldung);
         $Meldung->MeldelisteID=$this->dataRecord->ID;
         $Meldung->write();
         $form->sessionMessage('Turnier erfolgreich gemeldet', 'good');
         Director::redirectBack();
         return;
      }
   }

Some words are German, I hope it doesn´t matter.

Greetings,
Sascha

If you click in the CMS (in the Backend) on the tab "Meldeliste", you get an table with all entries from "Meldeliste". I want to see in this table the name of the author (currentMember).
I also want to get the name of the author in an table at the frontend.

Here the code from ss:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10" width="100%">
                  <tr>
                     <td class="bold">Datum</td>
                     <td class="bold">Ausrichter</td>
                     <td class="bold">Klasse</td>
                     <td class="bold">Gemeldet</td>
                  </tr>
                  <% control Meldeliste %>
                  <tr id="Meldung{$ID}">
                     <td>$Datum.format(d.m.Y)</td>
                     <td>$Ausrichter</td>
                     <td>$Klasse</td>
                     <td>$gemeldet</td>
                  </tr>   
                  <% end_control %>
               </table>

I´ve added an image to show what I mean. Does anybody know why I only see the ID and not the other datas (Datum, Ausrichter, Klasse, etc)? If I click on the magnifying glass everything looks fine and I can see all informations.

I hope it´s clear what I mean. Thanks for help.

Thanks for the tip swaiba, you got me on the right way. I can work with it further.

Just for info, I modify my code to this:
<?php
   $fields = singleton('Meldung')->summaryFields();
   
   class Meldung extends DataObject{
      static $db = array(
         'Datum' => 'Date',
         'Ausrichter' => 'Text',
         'Klasse' => 'Text',
         'Author' => 'Text',
         'gemeldet' => 'Boolean'
      );
      
      static $has_one = array(
         'Meldeliste' => 'Meldeliste',
         'Author' => 'Member'
      );
      
      static $summary_fields = array(
      'Author.Name',
      'Datum' => 'Date',
         'Ausrichter' => 'Text',
         'Klasse' => 'Text'
      );
      
      static $default_sort = "Datum ASC";
      
      function getCMSFields_forPopup(){
         $fields = new FieldSet(
            new DateField('Datum', 'Datum'),
            new TextField('Ausrichter', 'Ausrichter'),
            new TextField('Klasse', 'Klasse'),
            new CheckboxField('gemeldet', 'gemeldet')
         );
         return $fields;
      }
      
      function onBeforeWrite(){
         if(!$this->ID){
            $currentMember = Member::currentMember();
            if($currentMember){
               $this->AuthorID = $currentMember->ID;
            }
         }
         parent::onBeforeWrite();
      }
   }
?>
