Widget tab not showing?

Lemonie — Thu, 17 May 2012 02:51:44 +1200

I have installed the blog module from here:

http://www.silverstripe.org/blog-module

I have uploaded some widgets to the root and have done a dev/build?flush=1

The blog shows up in the CMS but there is no widgets tab. When I click on the blog on the website it says:

Blog

Generated with the default ContentController.ss template

Link to local page - impossible?

Anteaus — Wed, 16 May 2012 22:16:56 +1200

As I'm incorporating SS into an existing large site I need to link to local static pages on the same server/domain.

I didn't envisage any probs until I tried to setup the links as redirect pages, when I discovered that the redirect page form wrongly but automatically adds 'http://' to local links, rendering them broken.

But, if I use FQDN links this will make it impossible to test the site before uploading. Plus, it is bad website practice to do so.

The webpage editor has the same problem too, making it impossible to link to any local file. I can hack-around this one by entering HTML directly, but no such workaround exists for menu redirector pages

Is there any way of resolving this, other than hacking the cms code?

Re: [Solved] Populating a DropDownField with Children

Willr — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:40:52 +1200

I thought it would have done this by default but you may need to call map() (http://API.silverstripe.org/2.3/sapphire/model/DataObjectSet.html#methodmap)

$children = DataObject::get("Post", "ParentID = '". $this->ID ."'");
if($children) $children = $children->map("ID", "Title");

$featured_field = new DropDownField('FeaturedPostID', 'FeaturedPost', $children);

How do you bind the DropDownField to a particular $has_one relationship?

Well the first argument to DropDownFIeld 'FeaturedPostID' should map to your $has_one = array('FeaturedPost'). Have you done a dev/build?flush=1 then reloaded the admin?

Thanks for the reply Will.

How do I also get the Post titles to be listed in the DropDownField? Right now it displays:
Post
Post
Post
etc...

And it doesn’t seem to save a particular Post as the FeaturedPost when you publish the page. How do you bind the DropDownField to a particular $has_one relationship?

Re: DataObject -> Unable to Get Field Value?

swaiba — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:26:31 +1200

getCMSFields_forPopup

Are you sure that is called on an object populated with data? I'd suggest that an abstact object is created, that method called in order to get the fieldset. That means you are no in the object you think you are. Why not use the getCMSFields method to manipulate the fields? And while you are doing that you needn't create the fields as it will be scafolded for you... you're not using DOM are you?

With the has_one you need to append ID to the field name:

$featured_field = new DropDownField('FeaturedPostID', 'FeaturedPost', $children);

Though $children will be a list of pages, so perhaps you want to ensure you only get Post types in $children.

$children = DataObject::get("Post", "ParentID = '". $this->ID ."'");

[Solved] Populating a DropDownField with Children

thatboyneave — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:56:35 +1200

For a blog/magazine style site with Posts organized into Categories.

Categories may only contain Posts as child pages.

Each Category would have one featured Post at any one time, selectable in the CMS.

So, in the Category class I have this:

static $allowed_children = array('Post');
static $has_one = array(
'FeaturedPost' => 'Post'
);

In the admin for a Category, I want to populate a dropdown with all of the Category's child Posts, and save the dropdown selection into FeaturedPost. Right now in getCMSFields with Category, I have this:

public function getCMSFields()
{
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

$children = $this->Children();
$featured_field = new DropDownField('FeaturedPost', 'FeaturedPost', $children);

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', $featured_field);
return $fields;
}

The DropDownField populates with the right number of Posts, but it doesn't save into the FeaturedPost relationship, or display the titles of the Posts.

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Detecting broken image links

Bereusei — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:33:47 +1200

Hey guys,

I´ve a silverstripe-website with hundreds of images. Anyway, sometimes the links to images gets broken (no idea why). The result is, that users see a white paper thing instead of the image. But I´ve created a little jquery-php solution:

for the javascript that appears on every site:

$check = false;

   $("img").error(function(){
   $currentUrl = window.location.pathname;
   if(!$check){
      $.post("themes/mytheme/php/send.php", { brokenimage: $currentUrl } );
         $check = true;
      }
   });

for the send.php:
<?php
   $brokenimageposition = $_POST['brokenimage'];
   $brokenimageposition = stripcslashes($brokenimageposition);
   $brokenimageposition = htmlspecialchars($brokenimageposition);

   ##Send activation Email

   $subject = "Broken image link";

   $to = "your@email.com";

   $message = "Broken link is detected on the following site: \n
            http://www.mysite.com$brokenimageposition";

   $headers="From: error@mysite.com\n";
   $headers.="MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
   $headers.="Content-Type: text/plain;\n\t charset=\"utf-8\"\n";
   $headers.="Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n";
   $headers.="X-Sender: error@mysite.com\n";
   $headers.="X-Mailer: PHP\n";
   $headers.="X-Priority: 3\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

This should work for any other 40X-error as well. I hope it is useful for someone.

Hello All

have finally come back to this problem had to leave it for a while but i need to get it solved now.

i am trying to get a sequential number for a each record in a databoject, I cannot use the Record ID for this.

In a Previous Post swiba posted a snippet for me (Thank you) i could not get this to work however it would do what i want it to so its likely i have not done something correct.

Here is the post from a few months ago http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/18789

also one thing to note is that the field no matter what i do the field always has a default value of 0 i have tried changing this.

Thanks if you can help further

HasOneComplexTableField not working in SilverStripe 3 beta 2

Frankieboy — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:21:46 +1200

HasOneComplexTableField is no longer working in SilverStripe 3 as the warning is shown up "TableListField requires FRAMEWORK_DIR to be sapphire."

I attempted to use GridField as an alternative but it was not working either. Does anyone have an idea what is the alternative for HasOneCompleTableField in SilverStripe 3?

P.S: Certainly, I can use GridField for 1-to-many and many-to-many relationship but not for 1-to-1 relationship.

Thanks

DateField showcalendar in SS3

BlueO — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:10:04 +1200

Not sure if this is the right place to be asking this but I've run into an issue on our SS3 beta two test site with DateField.

In 2.4 I can do the following to get a jquery UI popup for my datefield:

$datefield = new DateField('FeatureEndDate', "Feature ends");
$datefield->setConfig('showcalendar',true);
$fields->push($datefield );

then in the template

$dataFieldByName(FeatureEndDate).FieldHolder

It seems all the requisite js + css is getting loaded with DateField.js, jquery-ui.js, jquery.js, jquery-ui.css etc all being there. If I copy DateField.js and execute it in chrome's console I get the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'datepicker'
$.fn.extend.ssDatepicker
jQuery.extend.eachjquery.js:660
jQuery.fn.jQuery.eachjquery.js:271
$.fn.extend.ssDatepicker
(anonymous function)
jQuery.event.dispatchjquery.js:3332
jQuery.event.add.elemData.handle.eventHandle

But other than that I'm not getting other errors on load - can someone help me to debug this a bit further?

cheers

Re: Silverstripe 2.x and jQuery 7.x (needs updating)

ampedup — Wed, 16 May 2012 12:09:16 +1200

What version of jQuery the CMS uses and what version the front end of the website uses can be completely different.

Do not overwrite the CMS version of jquery, or any other CMS files. You should not be changing (or adding) any files inside the cms or sapphire directories.

Put your javascript inside mysite/javascript and include that. That way you can use whatever version you want.

'Hyperlink',
array('Title' => 'Title', 'Link' => 'Link'),
array('Title' => 'TextField', 'Link' => 'TextField'),
"CaseExamplePageID",

OK, I'll reword that a bit...

you are not going to get the CMS using a different version of jQuery (without a large effort)
but you can use anyversion of jQuery in "non-conflict mode" in order to use a certain library needed that version so it doesn't conflict with the version the CMS is using

But again if you want the CMS to use a differetn version of jQuery I advise you join the dev group and put forward your suggestion there

Q02 Redirector external link & problem

IanDeVal — Tue, 15 May 2012 22:37:15 +1200

Hello,

I am just a front end content editor so you will have to excuse me if i'm a bit of a noob.

I need to set up a redirect to an external site but the url for the external site includes an '&' as it needs to pass a variable. However, when the url is redirected the '&' is parsed as '&' and the link breaks.

I have tried encoding it to %26 but then the redirect won't work at all?

The template name in my version of Silverstripe is Q02 Redirector. Not sure what version of Silverstripe it is but the following code is at the bottom: 12-1-2.11-2012-04-20_09-54-22

Please help as my PR team have already put the redirect URL on all of their marketing literature!

Thanks,

Heya! thanks for your suggestions. it was skype using my port 80, so my apache could not use it. so I logged out of skype and hey presto, I am now finally in business!
if I ever want to log into skype again, I will log out of xampp.

now I want to install silverstripe cms fresh, locally, on xampp(I had installed it in my old wamp folder www.) of course I uninstalled wamp but it did not uninstall all the associated wamp folders including silverstripe. so I still have a copy there.
so in xampp where do i install to here? to\htdocs\? And what would happen, if I left silverstripe in wamp folder too? I had it all linked up with the website at http://www.rarotonga-island-accommodation.com/ and I assume I had better uninstall absolutely everything and start loading it online again or the database and php will be looking for the removed wamp folder on my localhost... what a muddle

If your xampp control panel looks like your first screenshot then it is probably running properly. It doesn't do anything but sit there.

When you go here:
http://localhost/

The first screen you normally see is a white screen asking you to select your language.

After that you will always go to here:
http://localhost/xampp/index.php

Try going straight to that link or going here:
http://localhost/apache_pb2_ani.gif

If those links work then xampp is running properly.

Partial Caching

vxd — Tue, 15 May 2012 16:29:57 +1200

I am using partial caching for the main content block of main template.

This is what I have in the template file

<% cached 'database', LastEdited %>
$Content
<% end_cached %>

The main template is used on most of the page.

If I visit "about us" it will display the content for about us, then when I visit "Services" it will display the content from the "about us" page

It's cached the content from "About Us" and displaying the "About Us" content on all of the pages sharing the same template.

How do I get this to work properly so it displays the content of it's own page

Thanks

Hi
I installed the xamp in C and then got the first popup(see attached 1st pic), it was the control panel for xamp. so I clicked/ran the first two links, apache and mysql but then nothing happened. program now does nothing. I click on the icon on my desktop and it says xamp already running. I go to my browser and type http://localhost/ and the page is blank.see attached 2nd pic, there is supposed to be a page that localhost opens, but there is nothing. This is what happened with the wamp. it is very frustrating because I am getting nowhere. What am I supposed to do next?

Re: UserDefinedForm on every page?

The original form was created with UDF. It works normally if I call the page directly. However, if I try to use the 'ShowForm()' function and the template $Form, I get the issue mentioned.

Thanks very much for clearing that up Will. I understand now.

I really have to dig a little deeper then to investigate an intermittent performance issue with a site.

Thanks.
VWD.

For example, my templates are broken up into smaller blocks eg. Nav, Head, Header, Footer as per code example below. Assembling these to serve up a page would cost some processing time I'd imagine. Caching these doesn't save much processing time, by helping to pre-assemble the smaller blocks to a full template?

Correct, caching those is not going to improve performance greatly as SS already 'caches' includes and generally templates (thats why you need to use ?flush=1 when making changes).

Key is just to wrap anywhere that hits the database or other code which takes up processing time.
