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

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.

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?

Thank you UncleCheese! The issue has been sorted. PartnerLogo.ss is just an Include file. The reason <% if Partners %> was not returning anything was because I hadn't added a check to see if I was actually on the Partner page. All sorted now.

BTW, this is by far the most useful SS module! Many Thanks!
