I am folllowing a walk through on using the data object manager in siteconfig (http://archive.ssbits.com/2-4-working-with-siteconfig/). I have managed to get it working to the point where I can add objects to the backend but I can't seem to get them to display on the template.

I am trying to loop through all items inside the object using a control loop but i don't seem to be having any joy... I get an error message [Notice] Undefined index:

SiteConfig Extender

<?php
class SiteConfigExtra extends DataObjectDecorator{

function extraStatics() {
      return array(
        'db' => array(

            "email" => "Varchar",
            "twitterEmbed" => "HTMLText",

            "googleanalytics" => "HTMLText"
        ),

    }
}

Template

<% control SiteConfig.NemoMembers %>
    <p>$Name</p>
<% end_control %>

Please help, I have looked through other forum posts and haven't managed to get it to work. Please tell me it's something stupid that I have missed. It is driving me mad not being able to get it to work!

Many thanks,
Alex

You can create functions inside the SiteConfigExtra class that return dataobjects:

function NemoMembers() {
    return DataObject::get('NemoMember');
}

Then you can output them in any template file like this:

<% control SiteConfig %>
    <% control NemoMembers %>
        <p>$Name</p> 
    <% end_control %>
<% end_control %>
