ModelAdmin is built into SS 2.3.1, you don't need to download anything.

You just need to create your file that sets it up for your required data objects and adds a link to it in the CMS admin

Hey rbquirke

Thanks for the quick response. When you say you need to create a file that sets it up. What sort of file are we talking? Do you know of any documentaition which walks through set-up?

Thanks

This doc covers it pretty well:
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=modeladmin

I also have a blog post here with a run down on some gotchas and links to a presentation on it:
http://www.cuplaweb.com/2009/03/trying-modeladmin-on-for-size/

That should get you started!

Hey rbquirke

I followed the documentation you suggested but obviously not correctly as I get the following message when I try to flush the database

Uncaught exception 'ReflectionException' with message 'Class MyCatalogAdmin does not exist' in /var/www/html/SilverStripe/cms/code/CMSMenu.php:221 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/SilverStripe/cms/code/CMSMenu.php(221): ReflectionClass->__construct('MyCatalogAdmin') #1 /var/www/html/SilverStripe/cms/code/CMSMenu.php(19): CMSMenu::get_cms_classes() #2 /var/www/html/SilverStripe/cms/_config.php(19): CMSMenu::populate_menu() #3 /tmp/silverstripe-cache-var-www-html-SilverStripe/manifest-main(5921): require_once('/var/www/html/S...') #4 /var/www/html/SilverStripe/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php(70): require_once('/tmp/silverstri...') #5 /var/www/html/SilverStripe/sapphire/core/Core.php(165): ManifestBuilder::include_manifest() #6 /var/www/html/SilverStripe/sapphire/main.php(58): require_once('/var/www/html/S...') #7 {main} thrown in /var/www/html/SilverStripe/cms/code/CMSMenu.php on line 221

I am using the example code just cut and pasted.

<?php

class MyCatalogAdmin extends ModelAdmin {

protected static $managed_models = array(
'Product',
'Category'
);

static $url_segment = 'products'; // will be linked as /admin/products
static $menu_title = 'My Product Admin';

}
class Product extends DataObject {

static $db = array(
'Name' => 'Varchar',
'ProductCode' => 'Varchar',
'Description' => 'Text',
'Price' => 'Currency'
);

static $has_one = array(
'Category' => 'Category'
);

static $searchable_fields = array(
'Name',
'ProductCode'
);
}
class Category extends DataObject {
static $db = array(
'Title' => 'Text'
);
}

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I

Thanks as always
