A completly different page in CMS
28 September 2011 at 11:01pm
Hi,
Using class ModelAdmin one can add a new tab into the CMS to control dataobjects - what I'm wondering if there is a way to add a new tab, which just loads an SS page template - which can then be used to display/work with data in a complete templateled and free way...
this would be great - for creating a kind of dashboard page with various bits of info, and for displaying reports using charts and stats etc etc...
Cheers

absolutely - you might add a LiteralField to a new tab... populated with some data put into a template...
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();$vd = new ViewableData();
$ad = new ArrayData(array('Info' => DataObject::get('SomeObject'));
$strSomeHTML = $vd->customise($ad)->renderWith('TemplateName');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Bookings', new LiteralField('Label', $strSomeHTML));return $fields;

Hi Swaiba - thanks for that snippet...
Note: I'm trying too add a tab to the very top of the CMS - along with 'pages' 'files and images' etc...
infact, I've just found:

which seems to be what I need... -

I've taken this and put graphs with http://chart.apis.google.com into it to make a dashboard for a client
