Page::get() just returns an dataList Object without data

CoodY — Sat, 25 May 2013 05:27:41 +1200

I am new to Silverstripe and have to edit some basics. But there is one problem I've got with the framework.
Inside the Page_Controller I added a pubic function search() where I want to retrieve all pages with a specific keyword in its title.
Anyway. I cannot get even a single page with this:

      public function siteSearch() {
      //$q = Convert::raw2sql($_POST['q']);
      $results = Page::get()->filter(array('ID' => '6'));

      echo '<pre>';
      print_r( $results );
      echo '</pre>';
      die();

All I get is an "empty" DataList Object. Not the data itself. What I thought is Page::get() will return all pages, but it doesn't. I get this instead;

DataList Object
(
[dataClass:protected] => Page
[dataQuery:protected] => DataQuery Object
(
[dataClass:protected] => Page
[query:protected] => SQLQuery Object
(
[select:protected] => Array
(
)

[from:protected] => Array
(
[SiteTree] => "SiteTree"
)

[where:protected] => Array
(
)

[orderby:protected] => Array
(
["Sort"] => ASC
)

[groupby:protected] => Array
(
)

[having:protected] => Array
(
)

[limit:protected] => Array
(
)

[distinct:protected] => 1
[delete:protected] =>
[connective:protected] => AND
[replacementsOld:protected] => Array
(
)

[replacementsNew:protected] => Array
(
)

)

[collidingFields:protected] => Array
(
)

[queriedColumns:DataQuery:private] =>
[queryFinalised:DataQuery:private] =>
[querySubclasses:protected] => 1
[filterByClassName:protected] => 1
[queryParams:DataQuery:private] => Array
(
[Versioned.mode] => stage
[Versioned.stage] => Live
)

)

[model:protected] => DataModel Object
(
[customDataLists:protected] => Array
(
)

)

[inAlterDataQueryCall:protected] =>
[failover:protected] =>
[customisedObject:protected] =>
[objCache:ViewableData:private] => Array
(
)

[class] => DataList
[_config_forclass:Object:private] =>
[extension_instances:protected] => Array
(
)

)

Hope you get where my problem is :-D Many thanks all!

Multiform module - DateField using 'now' - SS3

Harley — Sat, 25 May 2013 04:24:09 +1200

Hi there,

Some time ago I used the multiform module for a client on SS2.4.7 I have just upgraded to SS3 and reworked the code for my multiform to comply. Works great except for I can't seem to figure out how to populate my datefield with todays date. I'm using the populateDefaults method.

Here is my new code:

CallEvent.php

class CallEvent extends DataObject{

   static $db = array(
      'CallerFirstName' => 'Text',
      'CallerSurname' => 'Text',
      'CallerRelationship' => 'Text',
      'CallerPhone' => 'Text',
      'CallerExt' => 'Text',
      'CallerEmail' => 'Text',
      'DateOfCall' => 'SS_Datetime',
      'TimeOfCall' => 'Time',
      'TotalNumberOfCalls' => 'Text',
      'CallerStatusOther' => 'Text',
      'PaperCopy' => 'Text',
      'DetailsOfEnquiry' => 'HTMLText',
      'ContactIn' => 'Text',
      'ContactOut' => 'Text',
      'TotalWebSearches' => 'Text',
      'HubContact' => 'Text',
   );

public function populateDefaults(){
      parent::populateDefaults();
      $this->DateOfCall = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('now'));
   }
...

$dateofcall = new DateField("DateOfCall", "Date of first call");
$dateofcall->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$dateofcall->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd/MM/YYYY');

public function getFrontendFields($params = null){
   $fields = $this->scaffoldFormFields(array(
      'restrictFields' => array(
         'CallerFirstName',
         'CallerSurname',
         'CallerRelationship',
         'CallerPhone',
         'CallerExt',
         'CallerEmail',
         'DateOfCall',
         'TimeOfCall',
         'TotalNumberOfCalls',
         'CallerStatusOther',
         'PaperCopy',
         'DetailsOfEnquiry',
         'ContactIn',
         'ContactOut',
         'TotalWebSearches',
         'HubContact',
      ),
      'fieldClasses' => array(
         'CallerFirstName' => 'TextField',
         'CallerSurname' => 'TextField',
         'CallerRelationship' => 'TextField',
         'CallerPhone' => 'TextField',
         'CallerExt' => 'TextField',
         'CallerEmail' => 'EmailField',
         'DateOfCall' => 'DateField',
         'TimeOfCall' => 'TimeField',
         'TotalNumberOfCalls' => 'NumericField',
         'CallerStatusOther' => 'TextField',
         'PaperCopy' => 'CheckboxField',
         'DetailsOfEnquiry' => 'HtmlEditorField',
         'ContactIn' => 'NumericField',
         'ContactOut' => 'NumericField',
         'TotalWebSearches' => 'NumericField',
         'HubContact' => 'TextField',
         )
      )
   );

   $fields->push( new TextField("CallerFirstName", "Callers first name"));
   $fields->push( new TextField("CallerSurname", "Callers surname"));
   $fields->push( new TextField("CallerRelationship", "Callers relationship to person"));
   $fields->push( new TextField("CallerPhone", "Callers phone number"));
   $fields->push( new TextField("CallerExt", "Callers extension number"));
   $fields->push( new EmailField("CallerEmail", "Callers email address"));
$fields->push( $dateofcall );
...

From all the documentation and tutorials I have researched this looks as though it should work. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Regards

Re: silverstripe/sapphire is a private repos ?

kinglozzer — Sat, 25 May 2013 03:16:52 +1200

Hi,

The repo isn't private, but it was recently renamed from 'sapphire' to 'silverstripe-framework', perhaps that is what's causing your issue? Try running:

composer self-update

and then try again. If that doesn't work, then try:

composer create-project silverstripe/installer htdocs 3.1.*@dev

Hide certain files in asset folder from google search

grumpypanda — Sat, 25 May 2013 02:43:43 +1200

Hi there,

I have a SS site which has members only pages. Everything worked fine until I put some pdf links (eg www.mysite/assets/Uploads/members/books/myfirstbook.pdf) on one of the members' pages (eg www.mysite.com/members/), then google search can actually pick those pdf files up and everyone can view those pdf files without being a member through google.

How can I block non members to view those pdf files? I tried robot.txt and "secure files" module, and I hope I am on the right track.

I am using "KickAssets" to upload my files to the asset folder, so my question is how can I combine both "KickAssets“ and ”securefiles" module together?

Any help would be appreciated

the core devs probably thought the thread didn't really belong in the anouncement section

That I descended to use batman fight phrases like "kapow" and "zap" might not have helped!

My view is that jpalsu becomes a mod (I'll not take your "no" as an answer) - along with reviewing/inviting new moderators - it appears that most of the modoratartors rarely visit the site and contribute - but I'm sure willr/ingo could confirm say if a moderator has purged any spam in the last 6 months (or even posted). I've not been that active on the forum - but I visit to check for spam often.

Hi Simon,

you said
"Moderation of new users, while mostly stopping spam from showing up,
is frustrating for non-spam users
(they have to wait even longer for help)
and is a much larger burden on moderators"

You are right.

My suggestion was a bad idea, I agree.

Other suggestions
(perhaps as far-fetched than the last, but "de la discussion jaillit la lumière" (Charles Monnard))

It would have some involved users (besides the moderators) in this anti spam approach that can put those suspicious messages in quarantine. Then the moderators can check the quarantine area and confirm or cancel the deletion.

Is it possible?

I have a website that runs silverstripe cms, on one host currently. But now i want to transfer the domain and the website to another host. How do i transfer the website including the cms to the new host? Alternatively how do i download the website files from the cms? Because if i have to download the .php files from the server directly, they will be converted to .html automatically by the server..

Let me know soon.

Thanks

I also am not in favor of moderation of new users, and I can see that that rss feed could be a big help - if only I could find it. It's probably somewhere right in front of me Can someone please lift that veil?

About most of the spam in that thread being reported 'overnight'? That might be because most of it was reported (and often removed) by someone living in Europe

See http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/forms#custom-form-templates for information on custom form templates (if your form make use them). You can turn on template debugging to see where that div is coming from

Personally, I don't see much use for notification. There's no reason why a moderator can't be one of the first people to see a new post. There's a RSS feed of all the posts on the forum, which is a low update feed so is fine to subscribe to. Moderators should probably be subscribed to it.

This means I can check it for spam when I have the time instead of getting a "YOU MUST CHECK THIS NOW" type email. It also means I don't get inundated with emails I can do nothing about when I'm away from a computer or asleep.

Moderation of new users, while mostly stopping spam from showing up, is frustrating for non-spam users (they have to wait even longer for help) and is a much larger burden on moderators (it's a lot easier to page through the RSS feed than clicking yes/no in some interface I have to actually specifically open).

From what I could tell, most of the spam being reported was coming in overnight. Perhaps we need more Europe/Asia-based moderators to give a better spread of times that someone is watching the posts?

MemberCsvBulkLoader duplicateChecks

cwchong — Fri, 24 May 2013 07:42:04 +1200

The MemberCsvBulkLoader responsible for exporting Members in the Security tab has this field

public $duplicateChecks = array('Email' => 'Email);

Shouldn't this field be changed to a static field so that it can be set in the _config.php file as well?

Currently we can use
Member::set_unique_identifier_field('MyNonEmailIdentifier');
to set the desired ID field for our Member dataobject, would be nice if MemberCsvBulkLoader maps its duplicateChecks field to the static $unique_identifier_field in Member.

Martine (and Barry and others Moderators)
Hello

Excuse me for posting so many alerts. I thought to do well to help you ...

You suggest:

"a button with each post for logged-in non-moderator users,
to report the post as spam, and send e-mail to all moderators?
What do you think?"

Well, but if 10 or 100 users click this button to report the same spam,

all the moderators will be "spammed" by users willing to help you.

I remain convinced that to automaticaly put on quarantine
the first (or the first 5 or more) Posts from a (new) user
will permit to the first moderator on the forum
to validate on a case by case basis.

Otherwise,
why not create a specific thread
on which some users (and all the moderators)
may be allowed to post,
others users can only read messages ...

It really is a wound, and it must monopolize your time unnecessarily.

You say :
"the core devs probably thought the thread didn't really belong in the anouncement section."
and "the Thread is misused..."

I agree.
You are right.
Excuse me

bests regards

Re: SS3.1 beta3 - SAFE MODE Restriction in effect

Liam — Fri, 24 May 2013 05:04:11 +1200

Okay thanks.

I guess I'll move ahead. The issue is that currently they're on a server with < php 5.3 within this company and the company will move the sites to a newer server they have with 5.3+ but cgi+safe_mode. I can't access it until the move so didn't want to do all of this only to find out it won't work, especially since they're charging us a move fee.

And because of politics I can't change webhosts. My only other choice would be to use WordPress or something but I'd rather not.

Fingers crossed but it seems like it should work.

Re: Multiple images attached to each page

MJA — Fri, 24 May 2013 04:46:39 +1200

OK Lime Blast, you're definitely on the right track here

I read your first post and immediately though -- xref file (that's the old database programmer in me speaking)

Your second post (putting a many-many relationship between Page and Photo) does just that

If you look at your database (using a tool like phpMyAdmin) you should find a table called Page_Photo (or something like that) containing just two fields:
PhotoID => foriegn key to Photo
PageID => foriegn key to Page

To get the image ordering sorted out you could try creating a DataObject extention for this table and adding a sort field
Something like:

   class Page_Photo extends DataObject {
      public static $has_one = array (
         'Page'   => 'Page',
         'Photo'   => 'Photo'
      );
      public $db = array (
         'SortOrder'   => 'Int'
      );
   }

You should then be able define the image order in the back end page definition (you may have to do a little work with getCMSFields)

You will then need to add a select function in the Page_Controller class to return the image records in order of SortOrder (you may need to read the xref table and join to the image table) and call this in your template.

I must admit I have not tried this so I don't know if it will actually work, but it does seem logically correct so it's probably worth a go

SPAM on these forums - what are the options?

martimiz — Fri, 24 May 2013 02:30:07 +1200

These forums are regularly targeted by spammers, and it's up to us moderators to remove them. Any help we get from other forum users is more then welcome, but there really is no way to let us know, besides bothereing SilverStripe or posting messages on these forums, which we might miss just as easily as the spam messages themselves...

Up untill now, there was a thread we and our most appreciated helpers - jpalsu, we owe you bigtime!!! - (mis)used for spamreports. Unfortunately this is now no longer possible because the trhread is set to READ ONLY. Leaving people with no other option then mail each of us directly, which obviously won't do at all!

So we urgently need a way to report spam to the moderators - a button with each post for logged-in non-moderator users, to report the post as spam, and send e-mail to all moderators? What do you think?

jpalsu, please don't take this personally: the core devs probably thought the thread didn't really belong in the anouncement section. We could create a new one in General Questions for the time being, and all subscribe

I have a client that is hosted on a server with safe_mode on and there is nothing I can do about moving or disabling.

New project so I don't have access yet and want to see if it will work before planning too much.

Re: Generate jQuery Tabs Based On Children

goodness — Fri, 24 May 2013 01:43:27 +1200

Will,

Thanks for the reply.

I have created two new page types: TabHolder.php and TabPage.php and placed them in the code folder.
I also created two new layouts: TabHolder.ss and TabPage.ss and placed them in the /mytheme/templates/Layout/ folder

For some reason when I place sone content on the page that uses the TabHolder page type, the content shows up twice.

I.e:

This is a test FAQ page and should have tabs below.

Also, when I create a child is shows up as a normal <li> within a <ul> with it's content below it.

I've attached a quick screen shot to show you my results.

I have tried to attach the javascript files and css files from within the TabHolder.ss file that's located in the Layout folder.

This is the code from my TabHolder.ss file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/themes/simple/css/jquery-ui.css">


      <script type="text/javascript" src="/themes/simple/javascript/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="/themes/simple/javascript/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<% include SideBar %>
<div class="content-container unit size3of4 lastUnit">
<article>
<h1>$Title</h1>
$Content
<div class="content">$Content</div>
</article>

<div id="tabs">
      <ul>
      <% loop Children %>
      <li><a href="#tab-$Pos">$Title</a></li>
      <% end_loop %>
      </ul>

      <% loop Children %>
      <div id="tabs-$Pos">
      $Content
      </div>
      <% end_loop %>
   </div>

</div>

LASTLY - If I de-select "Show in menus?" under Visability in the Settings tab for the child (TabPage) pages - the child pages (TabPage) content no longer shows up on the parent (TabHolder) page.

Again - Thank you so much for being willing to help me with this.

defining a dataobject for a table not created by silverstripe

MJA — Fri, 24 May 2013 01:14:11 +1200

Hello Guys

This is quite involved, so please bear with me.

I am trying to read a table created outside of Silverstripe (see attached clip). However, SS is not recognising the data object.

The site is running off of a MicroSoft database rather than the more usual MySQL database, but this does not seem to be a problem. When I create data objects in SS and run mysite/dev/build the data tables appear in the database exactly as I would expect.

In order for SS to read the table in obviously needs a definition for it in the data model. To give it this I created a DataModel extension as normal:

   class DocEditorAssets extends DataObject {

      public static $singular_name   = 'Document Editor Asset';
      public static $plural_name      = 'Document Editor Assets';

      public static $db = array (
         'asset_id'         => 'Int',
         'name'            => 'Varchar(255)',
         'version'         => 'Float',
         'updated'         => 'SS_Datetime',
         'text'            => 'Text',
         'updated_by'      => 'Varchar(255)',
         'category'         => 'Varchar(50)',
         'status_id'         => 'Int',
         'rejected_reason'   => 'Varchar(2000)',
         'locked_by'         => 'Varchar(255)'
      );

   }   // end class DocEditorAssets

and then ran mysite/dev/build

I had expected SS to pick up the definition, find that the table already existed and proceed as normal, possible appending a couple of fields to the table (ClassName, Created, etc). However, what actually happened was -- nothing at all.

There was no entry in the dev/build listing which would indicate that SS had picked up the definition and tried to create and/or modify the table (i.e. it did not list DocEditorAssets as I would have expected).

I cannot understand why this should be. There is, as far as I can see, nothing wrong with the definition and, apart from being created by an external system, there is nothing unusual about the table.

Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I replaced the field Desc for Title

Know i can search on CMS/Admin

But why can't i used the fields i want ?!?!

I can but with a Title will make things easier, so i learn

So ID is auto, Title you put and then you can add the records you want.

This was a simple solution, thanks openbees

If you want to know the mysql commands here they are

Updating the fields...

UPDATE Problema SET `Title` = `Desc`

Droping the column...

ALTER TABLE Problema DROP COLUMN Problema.Desc

Problem validating today date (23/05/2013)

mirkosassetti — Thu, 23 May 2013 20:29:28 +1200

Silverstripe version 2.4.7, my locale is set to italian (i18n::set_locale('it_IT')), i have an SS_Datetime field that worked regularly until today.

The 0.2 branch is the one you want https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-googlesitemaps/tree/0.2.

Any errors with that on 2.4 should be raised on github.

If you use the HTML from that demo it would look something like follows in 3.0

TabHolder.ss

<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<% loop Children %>
<li><a href="#tab-$Pos">$Title</a></li>
<% end_loop %>
</ul>

<% loop Children %>
<div id="tabs-$Pos">
$Content
</div>
<% end_loop %>
</div>

Not sure what the differences could be between your local and prod sites. I would investigate those differences (could be a different SS versions)

CSS class not populating in textarea wrapper div

sam523 — Thu, 23 May 2013 09:35:13 +1200

I've been on a new job so I'm not tremendously familiar with SilverStripe ... using it here is my first experience with it. That being said, I'm having a problem that I hope is super-simple that somebody can help me with, because I'm not having any luck solving it.

We have a form that has ~8-10 input fields and two of them aren't populating the CSS class in the div that wraps the div that contains the text area. For instance, we have this html rendering on our servers:

<div >
<div id="MemberBio" class="field textarea "><label class="left" for="Form_EditProfileForm_MemberBio">Talk about your previous work experience, your life, or both</label><div class="middleColumn"><textarea id="Form_EditProfileForm_MemberBio" name="MemberBio" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea></div></div>
</div>

but when we run the identical code base locally, we're getting

<div class="MemberBio">
            <div id="MemberBio" class="field textarea "><label class="left" for="Form_EditProfileForm_MemberBio">Talk about your previous work experience, your life, or both</label><div class="middleColumn"><textarea id="Form_EditProfileForm_MemberBio" name="MemberBio" rows="5" cols="20"></textarea></div></div>
         </div>

That MemberBio class in the div makes all the difference (without it the layout is pretty messed up) in this and I'm not having a ton of luck figuring out where this is generated. If anybody has any ideas, or can at least ask me questions that will steer me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Sam

Re: Translatable::set_default_locale error

Marcinkonys — Thu, 23 May 2013 09:21:53 +1200

I've tried this, and still have the exact same problem :/ Which version of Silverstripe are you using? I installed the framework, did a 'dev/build', then imported the translatable folder and edited the config file, and on the next 'dev/build', the same error showed up.

Edit: I got it to work! Here's what my _config.php looks like now:

Translatable::set_default_locale("en_US");
Object::add_extension('SiteTree', 'Translatable');
Object::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'Translatable');

$allowed_locales = array(
'en_US' => array('name' => 'English', 'native' => 'English'),
'de_DE' => array('name' => 'German', 'native' => 'Deutsch')
);

Config::inst()->update('i18n', 'common_locales', $allowed_locales);
Translatable::set_allowed_locales(array(
'en_US',
'de_DE'
));

Thanks for the help everyone

Event Calendar Recurrence confusion

sekjal — Thu, 23 May 2013 07:27:15 +1200

I've been working with the Event Calendar module as a means to enumerate my library's locations' open hours, and have had some difficulties with recurrence.

The data model is thus:

CalendarDateTime has a start date, end date, start time and end time (as well as they "all day" marker).

CalendarEvent has multiple CalendarDateTimes, which can be used to enumerate specific instances of this event occurring without a predictable pattern. Each one you specify will show up in the appropriate calendar view so long as you don't turn on Recurrence. Each entry will have the following details:

* Starts on: CalendarDateTime->start_date + CalendarDateTime->start_time
* Ends on: CalendarDateTime->end_date + CalendarDateTime->end_time

CalendarEvent also has Recurrence, which can be toggled on, then set to daily, weekly or monthly, with some interval between. When Recurrence is set, only the first CalendarDateTime is consulted, and the recurrence continues until the day before that CalendarDateTime->end_date. So the entries look like this:

* Starts on: CalendarDateTime->start_date +CalendarDateTime->start_time
* Ends on: CalendarDateTime->start_date + CalendarDateTime->end_time

Notice the differences: without recurrence, we can have event entries that span multiple days, while with recurrence, single-day events are created between the two dates specified in the first CalendarDateTime. This different usage of fields depending on whether recurrence is enabled or not seems potentially problematic.

I think there are two possible solutions to this confusion:

1. Attach Recurrence to the CalendarDateTime, not the CalendarEvent. This would allow for a whole new level of grouping recurring events: if you had weekly recurring events Sunday - Saturday, you could define all 7 days worth of recurrences on one event. You could also mix in non-recurring instances of the CalendarEvent if needed.

2. Keep Recurrence attached to CalendarEvent, but apply the pattern to all the CalendarDateTimes. This would be simpler as the data model would need to change less, but there would be overall flexibility in terms of pattern.

In either case, I think we need to either use include a RecurUntilDate and/or RecurXTimes that's separate from the end_date, so that multiple day events can recur. I think it may also be clearer to include that date in the recurrence, instead of stopping the day before (simple matter of changing "<=" to "<").

I'd very much like to hear others' opinions on the matter. What would work best for your use cases?

Re: Event Calendar - recurring events

sekjal — Thu, 23 May 2013 06:23:07 +1200

Working on recurrence along with iCal feed support; both are quite challenging. I think a lot of the issue surrounds the data model; We've got CalendarEvents which have many CalendarDateTimes, which are each made of a start date, end date, start time and end time. But the Recurrence is tied to the CalendarEvent, not the specific CalendarDateTimes. I suppose that should mean that the Recurrence pattern should be applied to each CalendarDateTime, but at this point it seems like the start date and end date are being used as the bounds for the recurrence. It's all very muddled (or at least my understanding is).

Re: Event Calendar ICS feed doesn't seem to work

sekjal — Thu, 23 May 2013 06:16:23 +1200

ICS feeds don't work on the current version of Event Calendar; I've been hacking at them all day, and part of the problem is the ICSReader.php class dying early (which I think I've fixed), and the other part is mapping iCal event data to the CalendarEvent data model, which is more complex.

Translatable and Sitemap

Hi,

are there any known issues between the Translatable (https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-translatable) and the Sitemaps (https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/silverstripe-googlesitemaps) modules?

It seems that the Sitemaps module shows only the current language...

Generate jQuery Tabs Based On Children

goodness — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:22:26 +1200

Hello,

I am fairly new to SilverStripe.

What I want to do is create a page that uses tabs for content much like this:

http://jqueryui.com/tabs/#default

What I would like to do is something similar to the StaffHolder and StaffPage found in the tutorial where the staff holder page is populated based on the individual children (staff) pages.

In this case, I believe the TabHolder page would run <% loop Children %> and then insert/create tabs based on the Child pages that are associated with it.

I'm just not sure how to write the code to accomplish this.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks!

Re: Getting the URL of a resized image

Lime Blast — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:18:49 +1200

As seems to be the story of my life right now - but no sooner than I finish posting this request for help, I find the answer.

Having looked at http://www.ssbits.com/snippets/2009/resizing-an-image-in-a-custom-img-tag/ I've found that the solution to my problem already exists, I simply need to replace the `{$URL}` with `{$SetWidth(630).URL}` and it does exactly what I need it to do..

.. so that's great, but returning to my original question, just for my own knowledge, can anyone tell me why my attempted solution didn't work?

Getting the URL of a resized image

Lime Blast — Thu, 23 May 2013 02:13:53 +1200

I'm trying to build a custom function which returns the URL of a resized image..

The deal is that I'm going to have a series of thumbnail images listed on the page, each of which will link to a larger version of the image. I don't want the linked to image to be the full size image, however, as this is likely to be too large, so I wanted to provide a link to a resized image.

(Following me so far?)

Right now the code in my template looks like this:

<% if $Photos %>
   <ul class="project-photos">
      <% loop $Photos %>
         <li><a href="{$URL}">{$CroppedImage(210,210)}</a></li>
      <% end_loop %>
   </ul>
<% end_if %>

what I was planning on changing the `{$URL}` to something like `{$croppedURL(610)}`, and having a function on my Photo class (which extends the Image class) which returned the resized the URL, figuring I would do something like this:

public function croppedURL($width = false) {
   if ($width != false) {
      $this->resizeByWidth($width);
   }
   return $this->URL();
}

But upon doing so, I get a Server Error 500.

I'vee tried my best to make this work following the examples found on http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/reference/image - but thus far I've not had any luck - can someone help please?

Thank you

Re: Multiple images attached to each page

Lime Blast — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:41:26 +1200

OK, quick update - I think I've solved my first problem. Having read some info here: http://www.silverstriperesources.com/articles/silverstripe-3-many-many-a-comprehensive-example/ - I've changed my code thusly:

class Page extends SiteTree
{

public static $db = array();

public static $has_one = array();

//   public static $has_many = array(
//      'Photos' => 'Photo'
//   );

   public static $many_many = array(
      'Photos' => 'Photo'
   );

   public function getCMSFields()
   {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Images', new UploadField('Photos'));
      return $fields;
   }

}

/**
* Allows the upload of multiple images to pages
* http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/20345#post315482
*/
class Photo extends Image
{
//   public static $has_one = array(
//      'Page' => 'Page'
//   );

   public static $many_many = array(
      'Page' => 'Page'
   );
}

So far as I can tell, this appears to be working as intended and has fixed the issue of having the same image attached to multiple pages (although if someone could just check over my code to make sure I've not done anything silly).

I've still got the second issue of ordering the images however, can someone help? Cheers

Multiple images attached to each page

Lime Blast — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:22:21 +1200

I'm working on a project where each page on the site needs to have anywhere from one to many images attached to it. These are not images which exist within the page's content, but rather separate images which I'll need to manipulate into things like thumbnails, etc..

Having followed the tutorials, along with a little bit of guess work, I've managed, using the following code, to get something working:

/mysite/code/Page.php

class Page extends SiteTree
{

public static $db = array();

public static $has_one = array();

   public static $has_many = array(
      'Photos' => 'Photo'
   );

   public function getCMSFields()
   {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Images', new UploadField('Photos'));
      return $fields;
   }

}

/**
* Allows the upload of multiple images to pages
* http://www.silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/20345#post315482
*/
class Photo extends Image
{
   public static $has_one = array(
      'Page' => 'Page'
   );
}

As this is the base Page class, which all my other extend, it means with very little effort I've been able to add image uploading to every page on the site, accessing them in the theme files like so (for example)..

<% if $Photos %>
   <% loop $Photos %>
      $CroppedImage(630,320)
   <% end_loop %>
<% end_if %>

This is fine, so far, but it has a couple of problems with which I'm looking for some help.

The first issue is that I'm only able to have each image attached to one page, where as I was hoping for a more flexible system which would let me attach the same image to multiple pages. I realise that I could just upload multiple copies of the same image, but that isn't really fixing the problem, it's just bypassing it.

Second, I'm looking for a way in which I'm able to order the images, so that when I do a loop (like above), the image I assigned as first in the CMS is the first in the loop.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction on how I'm able to fix these issues?

Thank you

Goggle Sitemaps for 2.4

Silverfish — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:10:06 +1200

Hi There,

I would love to run a Silverstripe 2.4.10 installation with the Google Sitemap Module (since it's not built in any more in that version).
If I search the extensions/modules section, I get a Google Sitemaps Module v. 02 that claims to be compatible with 2.4. If I download and unpack it, there's a Readme telling me the module is compatible with 3.1+, and to use the built in version for 2.4. Besides it doesn't work.

Does anyone know where to get the REAL 2.4 compatible Goggle Sitemaps Module?

Thanks for your appreciated help

Re: How to detect how long the user is logged in

kinglozzer — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:27:28 +1200

Hi Ben,

Yes I know that it will only record the login, not how long they're logged in for, but you can use that time as the 'start' point - i.e. when they first logged in.

If you need to record how long they're logged in for every single time they log in, that's a lot more complicated.

How have you got your list of objects? You can simply filter that list by published flag.

Re: Disable caching while theming

Lime Blast — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:04:42 +1200

I might have been a little bit preemptive in my posting.

Having read the tutorials on this site, it was suggesting that you need to run the `?flush=1` after each and every template change because of the caching...

... however, having started building a site using SilverStripe, I've found that I've not yet needed to run the flush command, as the changes are reflecting straight away. I'm not sure why this is, I'm just glad it's working.

The only other thing I've done is created a silverstripe-cache directory, I don't know if this would have something to do with it?

In any case, right now I'm happy - I just hope that I've not somehow disabled the caching for when I come to putting the site online.
