I've created a DataObject called SideModules for adding custom content to various pages around my SilverStripe site, but at the moment, I'm only using it on my StaffPage. I can create the modules fine in the admin interface, I just can't seem to get them to display in my templates. Just for reference, I'm using SilverStripe 2.4.1.
SideModule.php
<?php
class SideModule extends DataObject
{
static $db = array (
'Title' => 'Text',
'Content' => 'HTMLText'
);
static $belongs_many_many = array(
'StaffPages' => 'StaffPage'
);
public function getCMSFields_forPopup()
{
return new FieldSet(
new TextField('Title'),
new SimpleHTMLEditorField('Content')
);
}
}
class SideModule_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
?> StaffPage.php
<?php
class StaffPage extends Page {
static $db = array();
static $many_many = array(
'SideModules' => 'SideModule'
);
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
// Add a Data Object Manager to include content on the sidebar
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.SideModules", new DataObjectManager(
$this,
'SideModules',
'SideModule',
array('Title'=>'Title','Content' => 'Content'),
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
));
return $fields;
}
}
class StaffPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}
?>StaffPage.ss
<% if SideModules %>
<% control SideModules %>
<div class="section">
<h2>$Title</h2>
$Content
</div>
<% end_control %>
<% end_if %>So, everything works on the admin side of things as far as I can tell. I can add SideModules to a StaffPage template. I can re-order, edit and delete them. However, the SideModules control just doesn't output anything. It doesn't throw any errors or anything. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? There is also a StaffHolder page for displaying all StaffPage items, but I dont' think that has anything to do with the problems I'm having getting the content to display.
