setting the default $fixed_country (Checkout)

lyncherns — Sun, 19 May 2013 04:41:59 +1200

hey. does anybody know where I can set the default country for checkout information to United Kingdom? Can I do this from within the config file?

It's currently set to Afghanistan by default. Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

SS 3.x weather widget

Pike — Sun, 19 May 2013 01:15:09 +1200

I cannot add widget from url http://www.silverstripe.org/widgets/manage/add
for error: Security token doesn't match, possible CSRF attack.

So I'm put it here.

Weather Widget 0.0.1 for SilverStripe 3.x

Google silently kills popular API, breaks weather apps everywhere, so you need to sign up here http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/?ref=twc
to obtain License Key and Partner ID.
To find location ID go to http://www.weather.com/forecast, e.g.: Kosice, Slovakia.
You'll see inn address bar
http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Kosice+LOXX0003:1:LO, so location ID is LOXX0003.
Then you can lookup anywhere in the world and provide wether for it.

Installation:
Read carefully https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-widgets.
Make sure you have enabled widgets first to use (http://doc.silverstripe.org/widgets?s[]=widget#adding_widgets_to_other_pages)

1. extract this to your SilverStripe root directory widget_weather
2. run "dev/build?flush=all"
3. visit your page and drag and drop the widget to the right

I'm using https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/, so template assumes bootstrap is loaded (jquery, js, css), becouse it uses bootstrap accordion.
You can rewrite template to your needs.

Re: Adding custom sidebar navigation to each page selectively?

IOTI — Sat, 18 May 2013 22:19:20 +1200

Hey Panupat,

Take a look at the <li> element in the code i provided.

<li><a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode">$Title.XML</a>

the $LinkingMode template variable will return either "current", "section" or "link". You can use this feature with CSS to hide/show the pages you want displayed in the menu e.g, only show the menu item with the class "current" for example. For a better explanation check out the tutorial page here http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/tutorials/1-building-a-basic-site and do a search for $LinkingMode.

If you haven't gone through the basic tutorial you really should. It will help get you started with developing websites in SilverStripe.

Re: Adding custom sidebar navigation to each page selectively?

Panupat — Sat, 18 May 2013 13:38:32 +1200

Thanks IOTI. But if I do a loop, I would get links to all pages. There are going to be a lot of pages in my site. For ex.

FF1
- sub pages
FF2
- sub pages
FF3
- sub pages
..
..
..
FF14
- subpages

Let's say I'm viewing a page in FF2, I only want the navigator to show

FF2
- sub pages

Without any other FF. Would this be possible?

Thanks again

Re: Adding custom sidebar navigation to each page selectively?

IOTI — Sat, 18 May 2013 06:41:49 +1200

Hello Panupat!

This would be very easy to achieve in SilverStripe! You could take advantage of the Menu() and Children() function in your template to achieve what you want. You would most likely put this in your Sidebar.ss template. Here is some example code to get you started.

<% if Menu(1) %>
<ul>
<% loop Menu(1) %>
<li><a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode">$Title.XML</a>
<% if Children %>
<ul>
<% loop Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" class="$LinkingMode">$Title.XML</a></li>
<% end_loop %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_loop %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>

This is generally how you would create a "nested" menu in SS. So if you created a top level "Ff1" page and it had the sub pages "characters" and another one "weapons" they would only appear below your "Ff1" page. You'll have to create the CSS yourself to style the menu though.

Are you using a custom theme or the default Simple theme?

Adding custom sidebar navigation to each page selectively?

Panupat — Sat, 18 May 2013 05:12:57 +1200

Just started testing out SilverStripe and I'm liking how I can add sub page very much. I'm curious if SS will be able to do this?

My website is a Final Fantasy website and there are tons in the franchise as you can imagined. Now my site structure is something like this

ff1
- characters
- weapons
- etc

ff2
- characters
- magics
- etc

What I want is a navigational sidebar that displays links only in their same category.
So for pages in blue, the sidebar would only show links to blue pages. For pages in green, the sidebar would only show links to green pages. And etc.

Is it possible to do in SS?

I wouldn't mind at all if the sidebar needs to be created manually. As long as there's a way to selectively add them to the pages I want.

Thanks!

Re: Toggle dropdown box

IOTI — Sat, 18 May 2013 03:04:19 +1200

Do you plan on using the already existing tag(s) field as categories or do you want to use a separate managed list of categories?

If its the latter you could try using a module I made: https://github.com/IOTI/silverstripe-blogcategories. It does not have a built it dropdown for selecting a category on the front end but you could build one yourself. If you don't want or have need of the module you could look at my code and see how i added extra controller actions to the blog holder i.e it uses

"yoursitelink.com/blog/category/category-name" for filtering blog posts by a selected category.

$searchable_fields with a default value

sajok — Sat, 18 May 2013 01:19:38 +1200

Hello,

I have ModelAdmin to manage "Manager" dataobject records. I have a list of $searchable_fields to filter my data object result. One of the search filters is a Status dropdown menu with "active' and "Inactive" values. By default it shows all dataobjects. What I want to see by default is only records that have active status. So far I have this code:

static $searchable_fields = array(
'FirstName' =>array( 'title' => 'First Name' ),
'Surname' =>array( 'title' => 'Surname' ),
'Status' =>array( 'title' => 'Status' )
);

any help?

Re: Sort GridField by Column

RuthAdele — Sat, 18 May 2013 00:47:46 +1200

oops, I did mean to get back to you on this.

so: search function: you know PHP right? Just write a form, set action="{$Link}/nameoffunction"
and then have a function in your controller called nameoffunction where you do what you need to with your POST data, and return a paginated list (see below link)

Pagination: http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/howto/pagination (simple google search found this)

You could use this module (https://github.com/arambalakjian/DataObjects-as-Pages) to make your dataobjects (i.e. the members) act as pages. which takes care of the link through to their own page bit.
Or you could write your own version - this is an old (but good) example. http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/dataobjects-as-pages-part-1-keeping-it-simple/ (some syntax might be slightly different for SS3, but essentials are the same.

I think that covers it all. Happy coding!!

Create a silverstripe-cache folder in each of your SilverStripe sites root folders. That will save you from writing to your /tmp/ folder.

There is a wordpress connector module - https://github.com/ajshort/silverstripe-wordpressconnector to import the content. Depending on how your wordpress site url's are setup you may be able to keep your URL's, otherwise you'll need to use the link mapping module (https://github.com/ajshort/silverstripe-linkmapping) to map old url's to your new ones.

Also make sure you install the googlesitemap module and submit your new sitemap.xml to Google so that it can reindex your website.

Toggle dropdown box

michael_geeky — Fri, 17 May 2013 18:55:36 +1200

Hi all,

I am new to SS. I have utilised the existing blog module to manage the blogposts on my site. However, I want to have a dropdown box on the BlogHolder page (list of blogs) where you can select blogs by category. I do not want to touch blog module as it's maintained by someone else, so I want to add another controller action that can be called via Ajax when dropdown box is toggled. So far I have only found extensions that I can add to add more fields to data models, but in this case I don't need to change structure of any blog pagetype. How should I add more controls to existing modules?

Cheers,
Michael

Thats not a bad way to do it, looks good.

Depending on how frequently products are updated I would find the update email somewhat annoying if it was occurring multiple times a day. I would add a new boolean field to the object, mark it as updated, then send out an email daily or even weekly depending on the requirements.

Using Scheduled tasks, even though it's 2.4 docs it will be the same for 3.x

Re: SilverStripe forums + Recaptcha module

forumq42 — Fri, 17 May 2013 06:50:08 +1200

Resolved.

The issue was neither the keys nor any sort of firewall issue.

The issue was there were 2 captcha fields being created, and they must have been one on top of the other on the page because it appeared only 1 was on the page when the registration form appeared. However after submitting and looking at the network traffic it was obvious 2 challenges were being sent to Google/recaptcha. The first returned as correct, the second always returning incorrect. Additionally, looking at the page source there were 2 different regions that called recaptcha Javascript code which looked suspicious.

I had added the line:
$protector = SpamProtectorManager::update_form($form, 'MyCaptcha');

to ForumMemberProfile.php and also added a Recaptcha field to the forum. From what I gather, the Spam Protection module must generate that on it's own when it's configured to use Recaptcha so in essence I had added a 2nd field. I removed the added 2 lines and things were working. Checking the network traffic there was then only a single challenge to Google/recaptcha.

@buddybharath: from my understanding, accessing certain images via a URL is also possible with ColorBox, as shown here. However one would need to add a URL handler or route to the module (some infos here), which ckecks if an image exists and opens up the linked page and image in ColorBox.

Have not much time actually to implement such a feature right now, but I may add it with a future release.

Shouldn't this enable caching by default?

Re: DataObject can't access has many data via map class

Devlin — Fri, 17 May 2013 00:37:35 +1200

Map returns an array from a DataList, but you cannot use arrays in templates. Templates expect ViewableData.

Maybe I don't understand you correctly, but maybe this helps.

class MyDataObject extends DataObject{
   static $has_many = array(
      'Attributes' => 'PropertyAttributes'
   );

   function getProperty($name) {
      return $this->Attributes()
            ->filter(array('Name' => Convert::raw2sql($name)))
            ->first();
   }
}

Template:

<% with $Property('foo') %>
$Value
<% end_with %>

// or
$Property('foo').Value

// vanilla style
<% loop $Attributes %>
<% if $Name = 'Foo' %>
$Value
<% end_if %>
<% end_with %>

It lets you build your content in blocks/sections of content and each section have it's own template.
Creating new templates is as easy as allways in SilverStripe, and for more than templating, extend the Section dataobject (see the _Employee.ss example) and add more advanced functions like galleries and so on.

i'm very new to silverstripe. but i already fell in love with it. the only thing that bothers me is the html-editor. i'm used to a modular page-content as seen in typo3, redaxo and contao.

for example a page in a redaxo-cms is like a folder and you fill it with different modules: headlines, text, wysiwyg, gallery, forms etc. at first it looks annoying, because most of the time all you need is a headline and some text and that's also possible with a html-editor. (anyway i prefer the modules, because with these i can restrict my user to a produce clean content, so no blinking text for them (i've already seen you can strip away functions from the html-editor in silverstripe))

but i can not imagine how to solve this example in a easy way with silverstripe:
there is a databse with some objects in it, and you want to embedd a list of particular objects (picture/text/number) in your text (<p>text</p><ul><li>obj 1 html</li><li>obj 2 html</li></ul><p>text</p>). multiple pages will refer to one object, if this object will change, you only have to change it once.

how do you solve this problem without content-modules?
is there a easy way to make the cms user choose from a list with objects, and not writing ids in the html-editor?

i've already thought about using silverstripe pages as container for other page-like objects with very minimal function (headline, text, gallery, objects), so the container page renders it's children, but this feels like a hack and i imagine a very ugly page-tree.

thanks a lot for your input!

Many many relationships question.

T3nD4n — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:01:57 +1200

First of all, sorry about my poor english.
I'am new in silverstripe and i have a question about relationships.

here are my classes:

class Jugador extends DataObject {
   static $db = array(
         'Nombre' => 'Varchar',
         'Apellido' => 'Varchar',
   );
   static $belongs_many_many = array(
         'Partido' => 'Partido'
   );
}

and

class Partido extends Page {

   public static $db = array(
      "Fecha"=>"date",
      "Resultado"=>"Varchar"
   );

   public static $many_many = array(
      "Jugadores"=>"Jugador"
   );

   public function getCMSFields() {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
      $config = GridFieldConfig_RelationEditor::create();
      $config->getComponentByType('GridFieldDataColumns')->setDisplayFields(array(
            'Nombre' => 'Nombre',
            'Apellido'=> 'Apellido'
      ));

      $config->getComponentByType('GridFieldAddExistingAutocompleter')->setSearchFields(array(
            'Nombre',
            'Apellido'))->setResultsFormat('$Nombre - $Apellido');

      $jugadoresField = new GridField(
            'Jugadores', // Field name
            'Jugador', // Field title
            $this->Jugadores(),
            $config
      );

      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Jugadores', $jugadoresField);

      $dateField = new DateField('Fecha');
      $dateField->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
      $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $dateField, 'Content');
      $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Main", new TextField('Resultado'), 'Content');

      return $fields;
   }
}

so far i have a many many relation between "Partido" and "Jugador" (in english Match and players).
if i add a "partido" i can link existing "jugador" to this new partido and works fine.
the thing that i dont how to do is, that each player must have a diferent score on each "partido".
and i dont know how to add that relation in the classes.

any help will be appreciated.

Hello!
We have a real estate agency in Sao Paulo, http://www.imobiliariadesaopaulo.com.br, entirely digital. The site is a wordpress blog and we want to revert to Silverstripe, but we dont want to loose the content. Is that possible? And how the Google will understand this in the organic search?

We need some tips ...
