$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?

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!!

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 %>

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.

How you did it with 2.4 should roughly work with 3.0. You might want to look at writing a DataExtension instance for ModelAdmin and define updateEditForm. Pushing a new FormAction to the Form.

Silverstripe 3 adding new feature to model admin list

NETim — Tue, 14 May 2013 22:58:32 +1200

Hi Guys,

Trying to add a new feature into the model admin. We have a site that lists contacts in a model admin extension.

What we want to be able to do is add a button to model admin that will pass the filtered list of contacts to a function that will allow the site admin to add a message and push the contact phone numbers and message out to an SMS API.

I can figure out how to do this with SS2.4 but 'm a bit lost with doing this in SS3.

Any ideas?

Re: Creating has_many relation with self

sekjal — Thu, 09 May 2013 06:59:52 +1200

Reviving this thread in the context of SilverStripe 3.0...

I'm looking to create a Thesaurus module to support controlled vocabularies and relationships between terms:

Alternate Terms (Used For): many terms that are not current, or synonyms to the current term. Using a text field in $db for this now, with a modified search filter to include partial matches from this when searching for Terms.
Broader Terms (BT): possibly many more general Terms
Narrower Terms (NT): possibly many more specific Terms
Related Terms (RT): possibly many Terms with a different (non-hierarchical) relationship

Broader Terms and Narrower Terms are inverses of each other, so I could define one of them in $many_many, and the other in $belongs_many_many. That way, when a Term has a Narrower Term, that Narrower Term lists the original term as a Broader Term. In abstract notation:

if TermA is BT of TermB, then TermB is NT of TermA

Related Terms, though, are bi-directional in themselves. In the same notation as above:

if TermA is RT of TermB, then TermB is RT of TermA

Is this kind of self-relationship possible without having to manually specify the inverse relationships? If the Data Model doesn't support it naturally, could a code block be added to insert the inverse relationship when the Related Term relationship is added? If so, where would that go and what would it need to look like?

PaginatedList

Dimenicius — Thu, 09 May 2013 06:52:09 +1200

Hi, I'm having some trouble working with PaginatedLists. Posted this on General Question Forum but I think here is the right place.
I want to make my category page show 15 post in a paginatedlist but the pages must go on 5 pages step. (i.e. Page1 results: post 1-15, Page2 results: post 6-20). The first 5 results won't show the same fields of the others.
The first page is working fine, but the buttons to change pages doesn't work, when I click on it, the URL changes but the page shows the same results.

Here is my actual code:

Subcategoria.php

public function Datalist(integer $num, $start ) {
$paginatedList = new PaginatedList(Page::get());
$paginatedList->setPageLength($num)->setPageStart($start)-> where('"ParentID" = 7')->Sort("ID", "Desc");
return $paginatedList;
}

subcategoria.ss

<% loop $Datalist(5,0) %>
<a href=$link> $Title </a><br>
<% end_loop %>

---<br><br>

<% loop $Datalist(10,5) %>
<a href=$link> $Title </a><br>
<% end_loop %>

=Pagination=<br><br>

<% if $Datalist(5,0).MoreThanOnePage %>
<% if $Datalist(5,0).NotFirstPage %>
<a class="prev" href="$Datalist(5,0).PrevLink">Prev</a>
<% end_if %>
<% loop $Datalist(5,0).Pages %>
<% if $CurrentBool %>
$PageNum
<% else %>
<% if $Link %>
<a href="$Link">$PageNum</a>
<% else %>
...
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
<% end_loop %>
<% if $Datalist(5,0).NotLastPage %>
<a class="next" href="$Datalist(5,0).NextLink">Next</a>
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>

I've tried to:

public function Paginando() {
return new PaginatedList($this->Children(),$this->request);
}

just to make it work with the children pages, but whenever i add the "$this->request", the page crash and shows this message:

26    public function __construct(SS_List $list, $request = array()) {
27       if (!is_array($request) && !$request instanceof ArrayAccess) {
28          throw new Exception('The request must be readable as an array.');
29       }

TreeDropDownField/DropDownField in DataObject does not save related SiteTree

spierala — Wed, 08 May 2013 02:36:18 +1200

I just tested on a blank 3.0.5 installation and 3.1 beta 3.
If you have have a DataObject with related SiteTree like this...

private static $has_one = array(
"MySiteTree" => "SiteTree"
);

editing the DataObject... the DropDownField never remembers the selected Page. the same happens with TreeDropDownField.
It looks like it´s always saving the SiteTreeID of the Page that you are just editing in the CMS.

Is there any solution to this? or is it just a bug?
Thanks,
Florian

Re: Assign a user to a dataobject record

After running dev/build the user now is assigned to School dataobject.

Now when a manager edits their school record they see the dropdown field where the user is assigned to the school. I want this field to be hidden from school managers or to be shown as readonly field.

Any idea how to make this possible?

Thanks Willr, that helps a lot..

I created a dropdown field in the school dataobject so I can assign a user to manage the school, but when I select a user from the dropdown field it doesn't seem to be selected after clicking save:

static $has_one = array(
'Manager' => 'Member'
);

public function getCMSFields() {
return new FieldList(
<...>
new DropdownField('MemberID', 'School Admin', DataList::create("Member")->map("ID", "Title"))
);
}

I have done this other object that I created with no problem, but in the case of Member class, do I need to sub-class it just to add a has_one relationship with the School DataObject?

Re: Assign a user to a dataobject record

Willr — Fri, 03 May 2013 20:38:58 +1200

So your users are already in the CMS? First step is to break your project into steps and work on each step. Assigning users to a school is done via relationships (http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/tutorials/5-dataobject-relationship-management) and permission control is done via can*() methods. For example:

<?php

class School extends DataObject {

static $has_one = array(
'Manager' => 'Member'
);

function canEdit($member = null) {
if(!$member) $member = Member::currentUser();

if($member->ID == $this->ManagerID) {
return true;
}

return Permission::check('ADMIN');
}

function canDelete($member = null) {
return $this->canEdit($member);
}

}

Hello,

I have AdminModel section to create and manage schools. Now I need to assign a user to a specific school record, so they can only see that recod and edit it. Administrators can create schools and assign a user to them, but the assigned user can only see their school.

I'm thinking of adding a dropdown field of site users in the school creation page, but I need help on how I can assign permission to them.

Any idea how to accomplish this?

Hi cumquat. DataLists are now immutable, meaning you'll need to do this:

public function getList() {
$list = parent::getList();
// Always limit by model class, in case you're managing multiple
if($this->modelClass == 'Producer') {
$list = $list->exclude('New', '0');
}
return $list;
}

Note the "$list = " addition.

Set default value for each uploaded image on image gallery

Hello!

I have an image gallery and I would like to set for each uploaded image a default path value, which should be similar to the breadcrumbs. My code it's here, so my question is what should I write to 'Path' => '', so that in my database would be saved the breadcrumbs ?
For example if my gallery is located on this url: 'http://localhost/prosteel/projektgalerie/projekt-2/', than I would like to set the default value 'Projektgalerie Projekt 2'. I hope you can help me.

class ImageResource extends DataObject
{
static $db = array (
'Path' => 'Text',
'Caption' => 'Text'
);

static $has_one = array (
'Attachment' => 'Image', //Needs to be an image
'Projects' => 'Projects'
);

   static $defaults = array(
      'Path' => ''
   );

public function getCMSFields_forPopup()
{
return new FieldSet(
new TextareaField('Caption'),
new FileIFrameField('Attachment')

Re: Sort GridField by Column

pinkp — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 03:09:38 +1200

Thanks again RuthAdele!

So basically I have a list of Members. Each has a name, image, website, description and most importantly a Discipline.
The discipline is chosen from an enum array, so this is limited to say 10 disciplines. There is potential to have 100's of Members so I think a form sounds best.

Ideally I would have the user visit the Members page and be presented with a list of Members probably divided in to pages containing 10 results using Pagination (still need to work that out)

Then they need to be filtered by Discipline. Say with a drop down list. "Search members by there discipline: *dropdown*" This would then return only members from that discipline. I don't mind how this works as long as its easy for the user and looks smart.
I was advised to look at this http://api.silverstripe.org/3.0/source-class-DataObject.html#2692-2746 but i dont have the knowledge yet how to implement it.

One last addition would be that each member when clicking their name is taken there own page displaying all their info... but this is all to come.

If you think you could help that would be amazing!!

RuthAdele — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:25:30 +1200

No problem I never get replies either, but I was still subscribed to this thread, so I got a notification email about it

So the line:

return $dataList : $dataList ? false;

is shorthand code for:

if ($dataList) {
return $dataList;
}
else {
return false;
}

That way the function just returns false if there are no results from the DataList::create query.

On your filter question, do you mean that you want the user to be able to filter the results based on Discipline? Depending on how many items there are, you could do this with a form, or you could just use css/jquery to show/hide each disclipline section.
I would use the first is there were (or will be) lots of results, and I would use the second if there was only going to be a small number.
Let me know how you want to do it and I'll see if I can help

      return $data;
   }

}

............template.ss

<% loop MyHMIBMembers %>
<li class="hmibmembers">
             <% if MemberPicture %><div id="memberpic">$MemberPicture.SetHeight(160)</div><% end_if %>
             <h2>$Name</h2>
             <% if Website %><a href="$Website.URL" target="_blank">Website</a><% end_if %>
             <h3>$Discipline</h3>
             <p>$Description</p>
          </li>
       <% end_loop %>

I couldn't find an entire example telling me exactly where to put it, I need more practise but when people post code they assume you know and I didn't.

What does this do?

$dataList ? false;

Now all I need to do is add a filter function so my results can be filtered by Discipline, any ideas how to achieve this on the front end via the user?

If you're not adding a custom Sort Order, you should simply be able to loop over the DataObject in the template, i.e.
<% loop Objects %>
$Title, $Blah
<% end_loop %>

But if you are displaying with the sort order, you need to write a function in your page controller:
public function OrderedObjects() {
$dataList = DataList::create("Object");
$dataList->sort("SortOrder ASC");

return $dataList : $dataList ? false;
}
and then loop it the same in the template, but with <% loop OrderedObjects %>

Hope that helps

GridFieldFilterHeader functionality on front end?

pinkp — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:32:31 +1200

Is it possible to create the same functionality as GridFieldFilterHeader() from the GridField in the CMS on the front end and how?

I just want users to be able to filter / search the data in pretty much exactly the same way... thanks

How do you get it to keep this sort order from the CMS when looped in the template? (im not using drag n drop) I just want the order it appears in the CMS to translate to the front end..

Creating a new member

cachobong — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:42:14 +1200

Is it possible to create/insert a new member in this manner?

$o_member = new Member();
            $a_data['Email'] = 'email@email.com';
            $a_data['Password'] = '123456';
            $a_data['FirstName'] = 'My FirstName';
            $o_member->update($a_data);

Problem with subclasses and fields

Rodskagg — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 03:25:02 +1200

I have a data object called ImageLink which extends DataObject and a data object called Promo which in turn extends ImageLink. In my page I have two has_many fields - one for ImageLinks and one for Promos.

static $has_many = array(
      "ImageLinks" => "ImageLink",
      "Promos" => "Promo"
   );

Since Promo inherits from ImageLinks, when I get/loop the ImageLinks items they also include the Promo items stored in the Promos field. Is this the intended behaviour? I'm not interested in getting any subclasses. When looping the ImageLinks i only wish to get the ImageLinks! I understand where the problem comes from, since all ImageLinks and Promos are stored in the same table in the database.

At the moment, I have to filter the ImageLinks array on "ClassName" = "ImageLinks", but it would be better if this worked out of the box.

Re: get parent relation ID before writting the Object

Andrew Houle — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 03:10:03 +1200

Just in case it helps anyone else...

It's not my preferred solution, but for now I'm going with...

if($this->ID != 0) {
//Do stuff here after record has been saved
}
else {
//Record has never been saved...
$field = TextField::create('Field')->setTitle('Title')->setDisabled(true)->setValue('You can assign a this field once you have saved the record for the first time.');
}

Well ID is autoincrement, so in theory you can guess it on the object Creation, last ID+1 save it in field, then in onAfterWrite double check and pass it to the relation if its differnt.

Search and Sort: How to?

pinkp — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 00:15:30 +1200

I just need a little guidance as to the correct way to achieve the following.
I am creating a "Members Directory" (not members who have log in etc just a separate membership list).

Basically in the CMS you will add a "Member" they will have name, website, discipline, about paragraph, image.

1> Then what I need to know is how in the front end these can be sorted Alphabetically, and also the option to sort by Discipline.
2> How can i create a search just for these members, i.e. I search for "john smith poet" and this will filter the results.

Currently looking at:

Re: SS3 required fields on page

Ironcheese — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:44:36 +1200

In my case

public function getCMSValidator(){
return new RequiredFields('Code', 'Name');
}

worked like a charm.
I'm using SS3.0
