Honey, I broke the CMS...

arthurdent — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:44:35 +1200

Well, not exactly BROKE it... but it's doing some pretty hoopy stuff...

I wanted to add an editable sidebar to my page so I updated Page.php as follows:

<?php

class Page extends SiteTree {

static $db = array(
'SidebarHTML' => 'HTMLText'
);

static $has_one = array(
);

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Sidebar", new HtmlEditorField( "SidebarHTML"));
return $fields;

}

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

}

The CMS still works -- after a fashion. I have a new tab in the CMS called 'Sidebar'. I can edit content in main field and in 'sidebar' and write to the DB. It's only when I 'save' the page that the funky stuff happens. I get a facefull of goobledegook, (see screenshot) hit refresh and suddenly all is well...

Unfortunately I'm a designer who is still coming to terms with PHP -- so I can't see anything wrong with the code. It worked in older projects but doesn't seem to like SilverStripe 3... am I calling on a resource that has been deprecated / removed?

Any advice gratefully appreciated!!

For the first issue, this could help: https://github.com/ajshort/silverstripe-memberprofiles
For the second, try this in _config.php:

FulltextSearchable::enable();

It is doubly useful as you can limit the number of versions in the database and avoid db bloat.

Just one thing weird I've noticed -- the CMS doesn't seem to appreciate my efforts very much. However all page content is written to DB and a refresh solves the CMS interface issues... however it gets pretty ugly for a moment!

Anybody have any ideas about what's going on?

Revisiting the post to try to get an editable sidebar working in SS3...

Discovered that "Root.Content.Sidebar" is deprecated in Version 3. PHP code needs to change to the following...

<?php

class Page extends SiteTree {

static $db = array(
'SidebarHTML' => 'HTMLText'
);

static $has_one = array(
);

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Sidebar", new HtmlEditorField( "SidebarHTML"));
return $fields;

}

class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

}
?>

Hopefully this will help others in a similar predicament!

Re: interactive cropping

JonoM — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:05:06 +1200

I've released a simple module for improving automatic cropping in SilverStripe 3: https://github.com/jonom/silverstripe-focuspoint

Basically, when you edit an image in the CMS there is a new field that lets you select a point on the image as the focus point - i.e someone's face. Then instead of using CroppedImage in your templates you use CroppedFocusedImage, and the image is cropped with a bias towards keeping the focus point in the center of the image, rather than always cropping from the centre.

Feedback, suggestions and pull requests welcome, hope someone finds it useful

I can no longer login to my Silverstripe 3.0 admin section. I've tried adding a default password to the _config.php, but this doesn't work either. The login page simply re-appears without an error message (if I use an incorrect login an error is displayed).

Re: Using a Span for Hover Info

Devlin — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:43:06 +1200

Hi there.

Unfortunately, there is no "info" attribute for the "span" element.
http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/Elements/span

Also, TinyMCE (the HTML editor) discards every attribute and element which is not defined in its config.
http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Configuration:valid_elements

Try a html5 custom data-* attribute instead:

<span data-info="some content to pop up on hover">Copy That Is Hovered Over</span>

span[data-info]:hover:after {
content: attr(data-info);
padding: 4px 8px;
// ...

http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/elements.html#custom-data-attribute

Normally I use jQueryUI's Tooltip plugin. It has a lot of features and allows you to use common "title" attributes for non-javascript and SEO purposes.

Re: Using a Span for Hover Info

Harley — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:30:54 +1200

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do here but html within the editor can be somewhat messy. I would suggest going down the route of short code handlers perhaps? That way in your editor you could do something like $yellowbox['content to appear in yellow box'] giving consistent html and less overhead for the author.

This should help http://www.balbuss.com/mini-introduction-to-shortcodes/

and this is a great post, completely different to what you are trying to achieve but you will get the idea http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/

Let us know how you get on

I'm working on a licence key module

Harley — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:55:10 +1200

Hi there,

I'm working on a simple licence key module which I think could be useful. However I am a little stuck on one thing.

In the below example there is a hardcoded array '$numbers' which holds some example licence keys. What I am trying to do is populate this with a dataobject, simple right? Well the hard part seems to be retrieving that dataobject and putting it into an array. I'm a bit confused as there seems to be a fair bit out there about how you can do this but as yet none of those methods have worked.

I'm wondering if anyone out there has any practical knowledge of converting dataobject results into arrays?

LicenseKeyField.php

<?php

class LicenseKeyField extends TextField{

function validate($validator){

if(!empty ($this->value)){

// get licence key field value
$val = $this->value();

$keys = array(
'AJCAOkwO',
'ANojxe4F',
'ARmsWx37',
'AfFBkUxU',
'AsQ2r9Fb',
'BDtvjcue',
'BWwCTj5V',
'BnZcCYJR'
);

// check the license key against a given pattern.
$patterns_flattened = implode('|', $keys);

2.4.7 - Admin Sitetree not refreshing on add or delete page

benshu — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:06:58 +1200

Hi,

I'd say I'm still relatively new to Silverstripe, have been using it at work for about 1 year and setup over 15 websites with it.

Never had any issues with the backend, but I have had to setup a more complex sitetree for one particular site and recently have had some issues with the refreshing of the sitetree in the left side bar.

Usually, when you create a page it appears in real time in orange as in the screenshot attached (left-sitetree.jpg). However, not anymore.
When you delete a page, it also gets removed in real-time, not anymore.

I have compared the headers with another site that doesnt have this issue and noticed that in both cases a call to:

POST http://mydomain.com/admin/AddPageOptionsForm gets called sucessfully

but that it should be followed by:

POST http://mydomain.com/admin/getitem?ID=xxx&locale=fr_FR&ajax=1, which is not the case.

(see second screenshot "console-post.jpg" for Firebug info taken from fully functional one)

I have googled and searched various classes and JS files but not figured out a solution to my problem.
Hoping someone can give me some advice

Also consider that I have setup various user groups and each group can only edit certain pages.
In Page type classes and in CustomSiteConfig I have also set group specific parts.

Not sure if that could be a possible cause, but I don't think so, at least hasnt happend on other sites where I have used similar conditionals.

Thanks !

One thing that strikes me is maybe you could use a htaccess rewrite rule to solve your problem?

Hi all,
I am a newbie to Silverstipe, but I like it a lot.

I am trying to learn about dataobjects in silverstripe.

I have installed dataobjectmanager. I extracted the tar.gz file in the root of my silverstripe dir.
I got the module from http://www.silverstripe.org/dataobjectmanager-module/
The links on that page with install installation steps and the Getting started links are broken, so I have no idea what to do next.

After installation I did a /dev/build, but nothing happened. In the admin page are no changes.

Can someone Explain to me what the DataObjectManager module is and what it does? Should there be an admin page?

I am looking forward to your advise.

Tim.

Member Directory with advanced search using SS

tonymead66 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:58:45 +1200

Hi all.

I wondered if it possible to build the following site using Silverstripe with not too much of a learning curve. I am a php developer with a few years under my belt, long time asp dev so am happy to get my hands dirty...

A Member Site with advanced search option.

1. I'd like a person to be able to register on the site entering their personal details along with a set of skills (about 10 form fields). Admin need to manually 'activate' registration request and auto send email to confirm this has happened.

2. A user of the site would be able to search through the database of registered users using a form with multiple fields to narrow down their results.

I suppose it's a bit like a real estate website but using people and their skills instead of properties.

Many thanks for any help or pointers.

Regards,
Tony.

Getting Data for CMS PopUp from more than one has_one relation

Vix — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:21:57 +1200

I am new to this so forgive me if the subject is not too clear.

I have a site I am building in 2.10 and I am not sure how to go about getting the following information in the CMS. Basically I have a 'SlipBookingPage' that has many 'SlipBookings'

...
public static $has_many = array(
'SlipBookings' => 'SlipBooking'
);
...

A SlipBooking has one Boat
SlipBooking code:

...
public static $db = array (
      'DateIn' => 'Date',
      'DateOut' => 'Date',
      'CradleNumber' => 'Varchar(100)',
      'Confirmed' => 'Boolean'
   );

   public static $has_one = array(
      'Boat' => 'Boat',
      'SlipBookingPage' => 'Page'

   );
...

And a boat has one member

Boat code

class Boat extends DataObject {
   public static $db = array (
         'BoatName' => 'Varchar(100)',
         'BoatRegistration' => 'Varchar(20)',
         'SYCPenned' => 'Int',
         'BoatLength' => 'Varchar(100)',
         'BoatBeam' => 'Varchar(100)',
         'BoatWeight' => 'Varchar(100)',
         'KeelType' => 'Enum("Kiel, No Keel, Yacht Keel")',
         'ShaftType' => 'Enum("Shaft, Twin Shaft")',
         'VDrive' => 'Boolean',
         'Propulsion' => 'Enum("Inboard-Outboard(Leg), Twin Inboard-Outboard(Legs),Outboard, Twin Outboard")',
         'CraneAccess' => 'Boolean'
         );

   public static $has_one = array(
      'Member' => 'Member'

   );

   //Fields to show in the DOM table
static $summary_fields = array(
'BoatName' => 'BoatName',
'BoatRegistration' => 'BoatRegistration'
);


}

The problem I am having is getting information from the member and the boat to display in the CMS in the Popup for the HasManyComplexTableField. In the summary information I have gotten the members name and boat rego, but can't seem to get more information (eg all the boat details) in the pop up (so in the code below the mobile phone and boat length do not display in the pop up)

HasManyComplexTableField code:

...
$tablefield = new HasManyComplexTableField(
$this,
'SlipBookings',
'SlipBooking',
array(
            'Member.FirstName' => 'First Name',
            'Member.Surname' => 'Surname',
            'Boat.BoatRegistration' => 'Boat Rego',
            'DateIn' => 'Date In',
            'DateOut' => 'Date Out',
            'CradleNumber' => 'Cradle Number',
'Confirmed' => 'Confirmed'
),
new FieldSet(
          new TextField( 'CradleNumber', 'Cradle Number'),
          $dateField,
          $dateField2,
          new CheckboxField( 'Confirmed', 'Confirmed' ),
          new TextField( 'Member.MobilePhone', 'Mobile'),
          new TextField( 'BoatLength', 'Length'))
          );
....

If anyone can point me in the right direction of how to achieve this, that would be awesome!

Thanks

Hi,

I am using Subsites-master-1.0-beta1 (with SilverStripe CMS v3.0.5). I can add a virtual page, but not a subsites virtual page.
I can choose a subsite, but then when I try to choose a page to link to, I get the following error:

ReferenceError: $$ is not defined
[Break On This Error]
var subsiteSel = $$('#CopyContentFromID_SubsiteID select')[0];

When the mouse hovers over the "choose a page to link to" drop down box, all I see is a link to #

Any clues to where the problem may lie, would be greatly appreciated.

arthurdent — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:50:53 +1200

Question for Uncle Cheese: I'm needing to add editable sidebar content to pages on a new site. I've done this in the past with older versions of SilverStripe but on version 3 I'm getting errors. Using code in this post stops DB rebuild (/dev/build/) -- when I tried a similar method that worked for me in the past I was able to rebuild but not access anything that used Page.ss (page type that called sidebar) in the CMS.

Question is: This is pretty fundamental stuff, right? I had it workign before. And there's nothing new in SilverStripe that would be interfering with it, right?

ss3 <% control Top %> function, gone... FIXED

Futureweb — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:46:46 +1200

Hi,

FYI, the Silvestripe 3 template info page states that <% control Top %> has been removed, and has no direct replacement....

This got me stuck for a while, until I found you can achieve the same with

<% with ClassName %>

<% end_with %>

and target the ClassName of the top level page

Hey Bernard,
I was having the same problem and it was driving me crazy but then my colleague pointed out that I needed to put a _config.php file in the features folder. Solved the issue all together. Give a try and see if it helps you!

Re: Uploaded File Management on a Page

Hi,
Sorry for the very long delay (shows how often I check back).

I never found a solution, but would love to know one!

The images are uploaded to Assets/Images (as defined in the code), but the images on the front page itself are pulled through using the following:

<div id="slideshow">
   <ul id="carousel">
   <% loop $FrontImages %>
      <li>$croppedImage(930,300)</li>
   <% end_loop %>
   </ul>
</div>

The code in my first post has not changed.

Cheers,
Matt

Re: Controller Routing

Hi Willr,

Thank you for your reply.

The solution was simply to have //$Action instead of /$Action in the _config.php file.

Hey Webdoc, that is a very 2.x answer - don't suppose you know the same in 3.x speak?

Re: Empty ClassName is built every time

swaiba — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:55:59 +1200

Hi Xazen,

This happens when you use a class and then lose/rename it. So you probably had something like...

class MyPage extends Page {
...
}

and removed it. I seen it a long time back... it's not really preventable, so I have a script...

UPDATE SiteTree SET ClassName='Page' WHERE ClassName='';
UPDATE SiteTree_Live SET ClassName='Page' WHERE ClassName='';
UPDATE SiteTree_versions SET ClassName='Page' WHERE ClassName='';
UPDATE File SET ClassName = 'File' WHERE ClassName = '';

some help for cms branding:

//Set the CMS application name, logo and loading image
LeftAndMain::setApplicationName("My application");
LeftAndMain::setLogo("themes/MyTheme/images/CMSLogo.png", "margin-top: -3px;");
LeftAndMain::set_loading_image('themes/MyTheme/images/CMSLoading.gif');
//

Re: Delivering smaller images for mobile

Webdoc — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:26:17 +1200

There is also alternative using css image width.
1. add to Page.ss the mobile css line
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-width: 400px)" href="mobile.css" />
2. add css to mobile.css file something like this:

@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px){
.crop {
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
}

.crop img {
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
margin: -75px 0 0 -100px;
}
}

html of that css looks like this:

Enable comments on Blog Feed on Home Page

Optic Blaze — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:07:45 +1200

Hi there,

I have a SS2.4.10 site that uses the blog module. It works well and i have created a feed on the home page of the site that pulls through the latest blog articles.

I want to allow users to make comments on the home page that will automatically update the blog's comment section. My articles stay on the homepage for about a week until they are replaced with a new one. For that week i want visitors to the home page to comment on the article, but the comments must not be added to the home page...but rather the blog page.

Currently the homepages code looks like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

   public static $allowed_actions = array (
   );

   function LatestArticle() {
   return DataObject::get('BlogEntry','','Date DESC','','1');
   }

}

Delivering smaller images for mobile

MrChimp — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:47:26 +1200

I have an image with some very large images. I would like to deliver smaller images if our site is accessed from a mobile browser. Is there a straight forward way to do this with Silverstripe?

If would ideally like to do something like:

<% if IsMobile %>
<% $Image.Cropped(640,360) %>
<% else %>
<% $Image.Cropped(1280,720) %>
<% end_if %>

Re: silverstripe 3 - typo3 comparison

Flo Apps — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:11:14 +1200

Typo3 might still be popular in German-speaking countries, but elsewhere it has lost a lot of its appeal and its marketshare is in decline.

Haven't really used Typo3 b/c the only time I tried it, it was so buggy I couldn't get through the installation phase. Probably it's better now.

silverstripe 3 - typo3 comparison

spierala — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 23:38:42 +1200

hello all,
many clients ask for a typo3 website because typo3 is almost synonymous for CMS. If I suggest silverstripe to such client, he wants to know what is better about silverstripe. For sure the backend is much more clean and has better usability. But what else? what are the things that you like more in silverstripe than in typo3?
It would be good to have at least 3 very good points to convince the client
regards,
Florian
