Hello,

when using the modeladmin search, you get the list of results in the main area of the page - including an 'x' to delete the item.

What I want to do is add a few extra columns - a couple of html links, and a tickbox.

Using jquery, I'll make the links open popup windows, and the tick box will be used to change 'status' of multiple items at once. I think I know how I can do the jquery bit - but I'm really not sure how to get the links into the table...

Ideas welcome!
Cheers

I've got code that I have been meaning to make a module of for sometime that does this (including the tick boxes).

For now you can always use casting to show some information... (see casting on http://doc.silverstripe.org/sapphire/en/topics/datamodel).

Getting There!

in the end,, after a load of searching, and some pure luck, I've found a completely different option - rendering the table with a custom template.

class OrderModelAdmin_CollectionController extends ModelAdmin_CollectionController {

function ResultsForm($searchCriteria){
$form = parent::ResultsForm($searchCriteria);
$form->Fields()->dataFieldByName($this->modelClass)->setTemplate("MyTableListField");
return $form;
}
}

and putting a custom SS template in mysite/template/includes/

the template is copy of the silverstripe TableListField.ss. this template also includes ''TableListField_Item.ss" however i combined it into one and added my extra columns in, and some extra buttons at the bottom...
