Hi there, just more info of the bug reported a post above. I have tried on another OSX system, the popup worked as expected in Safari and in Firefox the popup appeared but only contained the statement "I can't handle sub-URLs of a CMSMain object."

@ howardgrigg, I had this same issue and can't for the life of me remember what was causing it. I ended up fixing it though, it was something I was doing wrong in the code. I'll do my best to remember what it was. Good luck!

Cause of the issue mentioned in my post of 1 April 2009 at 10:03am:

http://open.silverstripe.com/changeset?old_path=%2Fmodules%2Fsapphire%2Fbranches%2Fnestedurls%2Fforms%2FForm.php&old=73041&new_path=%2Fmodules%2Fsapphire%2Ftrunk%2Fforms%2FForm.php&new=HEAD

Using the line from trunk, the pop-up's save button works correctly; with the line from nestedurls, it does not.

My post of 1 April 2009 at 10:03am:
I'm running revision 103 of DataObjectManager against revision 73881 of trunk. When I click the "save" button on the "add" pop-up window, the object I'm trying to add never gets saved to the database. Instead, I get sent to some kind of page that has an add link and a search box, etc.

The "add" pop-up window's form tag is as follows:
<form id="DataObjectManager_Popup_AddForm" action="admin/EditForm/field/Articles?ctf[Articles][per_page]=10&ctf[Articles][showall]=0&ctf[Articles][sort]=Created&ctf[Articles][sort_dir]=DESC&ctf[Articles][search]=&ctf[Articles][filter]=" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">

Is that the correct action? It looks funny to me.

Hi Uncle Cheese

Fantastic work! The DataObjectManager is just what I needed.

Do you have an example of how to setup ManyManyDataObjectManager? I want to use it to enable users to select images to go in the right column on the page and have have the ability to have different images on everypage. I might have missed something but when I use DataObjectManager it puts the same objects on every page.

Thanks

Aaron

Hi, Aaron.

Great use of the DataObjectManager. I'd recommend using a ManyManyFileDataObjectManager if I were you, since it will display the images in a grid for you, as well as streamline the upload process.

If you have the many_many relation set up correctly, it should be the same as a ManyManyComplexTableField, only with one more argument.

new ManyManyFileDataObjectManager(
$this,
'MyImages'
'MyImage',
'Image' // The fieldname on the $has_one array of your MyImage dataobject.
array( // headers...
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
);

You can read more in the documentation in the SS wiki.

Uncle Cheese. Thank you for all your hard work and help.

I would like to use the Testimonials page type to manage testimonials. I have set up the page so that I can add testimonials and I can see the database table where they are stored. What I don't know how to do is randomly grab a Testimonial and display it on any give page on the site. My guess is that in the Page_Controller I would have a function that could select a random Testimonial from the database and display the Testimonial Content and Author on my page. I don't need a page that shows all of the Testimonials.

Page_Controller

function RandomTestimonial()
{
return DataObject::get_one("Testimonial", null, true, "RAND()");
}

FYI: Please do not rely on the example code included with dataobject_manager. I'll be removing it soon. You can recreate it in mysite/code if you want.

I have a simple question regarding the display of content in a template. I'm using FileDataObjectManager and my files are as follows:

Partner.php
-----------
<?php
class Partner extends DataObject
{
static $db = array (
'Name' => 'Text',
'URL' => 'Text'
);

static $has_one = array (
'Logo' => 'File',
'PartnerPage' => 'PartnerPage'
);

public function getCMSFields_forPopup()
{
return new FieldSet(
new TextField('Name'),
new TextField('URL'),
new FileIFrameField('Logo')
);
}
}
?>
-----------

PartnerPage.php
-----------
<?php
class PartnerPage extends Page
{
static $has_many = array (
'Partners' => 'Partner'
);

public function getCMSFields()
{
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$manager = new FileDataObjectManager(
$this, // Controller
'Partners', // Source name
'Partner', // Source class
'Logo', // File name on DataObject
array(
'Name' => 'Name',
'URL' => 'URL'
), // Headings
'getCMSFields_forPopup' // Detail fields (function name or FieldSet object)
// Filter clause
// Sort clause
// Join clause
);

// If undefined, all types are allowed. Pass with or without a leading "."
$manager->setAllowedFileTypes(array('jpg','gif'));

// Label for the upload button in the popup
$manager->setBrowseButtonText("Upload (JPG or GIF only)");

// In grid view, what field will appear underneath the icon. If left out, it defaults to the file title.
$manager->setGridLabelField('Name');

// Plural form of the objects being managed. Used on the "Add" button.
// If left out, this defaults to [MyObjectName]s
$manager->setPluralTitle('Partners');

$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Partners", $manager);

$f->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content', 'HeaderImage');

return $f;
}

}

class PartnerPage_Controller extends Page_Controller
{
}
?>
-----------

PartnerLogo.ss
-----------
<% if Partners %>
<div id="partners"><div class="container">
<div id="partner-logos">
<ul>
<% control Partners %>
<li class="partner-logo"><a href="#" title="$Name" style="background-image: url('$Logo.URL')"><span>$Name</span></a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
</div>
</div></div><!-- end #partners -->
<% end_if %>
-----------

Can anyone tell me why the above template file PartnerLogos.ss does not return any Partners, when in the CMS I clearly have added records using dataobjectmanager and I can see them under the Partners tab in the CMS?
