Hi Uncle Cheese,

this looks really great. thank you for your work.

while using i get the following error:

"[User Error] Object::__call() Method 'forTemplate' not found in class 'File'"

this happens, if i use the variable $Attachment in my template, which is the object property for my file.

i also miss the .js and .swf-includes in my html-file. i followed your description on http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=modules:dataobjectmanager and on youtube.

thank you,

Did you upload an mp3 or FLV?

i tried an mp3 file.

my code looks as follows:

class AudioFile extends DataObject  {

  public static $db = array(
    'Name' => 'Text',
    'Beschreibung' => 'Text'
  );
  static $has_one = array(
    'Attachment' => 'File',
    'AudioSeite' => 'AudioPage'
  );
  
function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
      $fields = new FieldSet();
      $fields->push( new TextField( 'Name', 'Titelname' ) );
      $fields->push( new TextField( 'Beschreibung', 'Beschreibung' ) );
      $fields->push( new FileIFrameField( 'Track', 'MP3-File') );
      return $fields;
   }
  
}


class AudioPage extends Page
{
  public static $db = array();
  
  public static $has_one = array();
  static $has_many = array('AudioFiles' => 'AudioFile');
  
  function getCMSFields()
  {
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
    
    $manager = new FileDataObjectManager($this, 'AudioFiles', 'AudioFile', 'Attachment', array('Name' => 'Name', 'Beschreibung' => 'Beschreibung'), 'getCMSFields_forPopup'/* new FieldSet(new TextField('Beschreibung', 'Beschreibung'), new FileIFrameField('Track'))*/
        );
    
    $manager->setAllowedFileTypes(array('mp3'));
    $manager->setBrowseButtonText('MP3 Datei hochladen');
    $manager->allowUploadFolderSelection();
     
    $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Tracks', $manager);
     
    return $fields;
  }

}

the AudioPage.ss (exactly the Layout-snippet) only has the following lines:

<% control AudioFiles %>
<h3>$Name</h3>
<p>$Beschreibung</p>
$Attachment
<% end_control %>

thank you,

Can you check your DB and verify that the file was stored with ClassName "MP3?"

You're on the latest SVN, I assume. I haven't deployed this to the ZIP file download yet.

hi uncle cheese,

you are right. the reason is the 'ClassName' field in the file table.
if i upload with silverstripe's 'files and folder' functionality the files get as ClassName 'file'. if i upload from your swf-uploader by directly choosing files from my pc the ClassName-field has 'MP3' as value and it works fine.
may be the possibility of choosing existing files in the swf-uploader should filter possible uploaded files by ClassName == 'MP3' to choose for displaying (eg. listening ;-))?
anyway, it's a great functionality.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that. That's one reason it's just in SVN right now and not in the official release. I plan to clean all that up. That said, if you do have a page of strictly audio files, just use

$has_many = array ('AudioFiles' => 'MP3');
instead of
$has_many = array ('AudioFiles' => 'File');

That way you're not relying on DOM to sniff out the upgrade. You're doing it manually.

that's a good idea.
thank you.

Very nice implementation Uncle Cheese. I have it working pretty well. The only issue I have is that the VideoThumnail is not actually generated. I am not sure why. The permissions seem to be right on the assets/uploads folder and SS can put other files in there. Also I wanted to know what developer too /code editor you were using on the video. I am looking for a good one that isn't Dreamweaver.
