Hi All,

New to SilverStripe, and I am going through the awesome tutorials, but I am really stuck.

I am on the form turorial and the news tutorial, but I can't seem to get 2 things working.
1. My form for the poll will not work when trying to post the data to the DB, I am getting this error:

[User Error] Uncaught ReflectionException: Class text does not exist
POST /latique/home/BrowserPollForm

Line 89 in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/latique/sapphire/core/Object.php

Source

80 	 * @param string $class the class name
81 	 * @param mixed $arguments,... arguments to pass to the constructor
82 	 * @return Object
83 	 */
84 	public static function create() {
85 		$args  = func_get_args();
86 		$class = self::getCustomClass(array_shift($args));
87 		
88 		if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.1.3', '>=')) {
89 			$reflector = new ReflectionClass($class);
90 			return $reflector->newInstanceArgs($args);
91 		} else {
92 			// we're using a PHP install that doesn't support ReflectionClass->newInstanceArgs()
93 			
94 			$args = $args + array_fill(0, 9, null);
95 			return new $class($args[0], $args[1], $args[2], $args[3], $args[4], $args[5], $args[6], $args[7], $args[8]);

Note: Line 89 highlighted red.

And the RSS feed doesn't work either - keeps telling me that RSS is not allowed on the news page class, but I copied the tutorial exactly.
I am running this on MAMP OS X 10.6.2, PHP 5, MySql 5.0.41. Am I doing something wrong? I have re-written this part of the tutorial about 10 times and nothing gives. This is my first try at SilverStripe, and although I really like everything I am seeing, I am not sure I can go on using it if I am unable to follow the tutorials. I really want to use it though, this looks like the best CMS I have ever seen.

Any advice would be appreciated.

And the RSS feed doesn't work either - keeps telling me that RSS is not allowed on the news page class, but I copied the tutorial exactly.

Ah I don't think the tutorials have been updated with the new $allowed_actions option. To get that to work just add this code at the top of your page type

static $allowed_actions = array(
'rss'
);

For your poll code do you might attaching your code?

Hey, thanks for the reply Willr :)

Here is my poll code (homepage class)

class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller{
	
	// Poll
	function BrowserPollForm(){
	
		// create fields
		$fields = new FieldSet(
			new TextField('Name'),
			new OptionsetField('Browser','Your Favorite Browser', array(
				'Firefox' => 'Firefox',
				'Internet Explorer' => 'Internet Explorer',
				'Safari' => 'Safari',
				'Opera' => 'Opera',
				'Lynx' => 'Lynx'
			))
		);
		
		// create actions
		$actions = new FieldSet(
			new FormAction('doBrowserPoll', 'Submit')
		);
		
		// validator
		$validator = new RequiredFields('Name','Browser');
		
		// return form
		return new Form($this, 'BrowserPollForm', $fields, $actions, $validator);
	}
	
	// process poll
	function doBrowserPoll($data, $form){
		$submission = new BrowserPollSubmission();
		$form->saveInto($submission);
		$submission->write();
		
		Session::set('BrowserPollVoted', TRUE);
		
		Director::redirectBack();
	}
	
	// show poll results
	function BrowserPollResults(){
		$submissions = DataObject::get('BrowserPollSubmission');
		$total = $submissions->count();
		
		$doSet = new DataObjectSet();
		foreach($submissions->groupBy('Browser') as $browser => $data){
			$percentage = (int) ($data->count() / $total * 100);
			$record = array(
				'Browser' => $browser,
				'Percentage' => $percentage
			);
			
			$doset->push(new ArrayData($record));
		}
		
		return $doset;
	}
}

?>

thanks in advance for any advice,

no dice on the RSS either. getting this error:
Action 'rss' isn't allowed on class ArticleHolder_Controller"

<?
/*
	ArticleHolder - allows ArticlePages to go inside it
*/

class ArticleHolder extends Page{
	static $db 					= array(); 
	static $has_one 			= array();
	static $allowed_children 	= array('ArticlePage');
	static $icon = "themes/tutorial/images/treeicons/news";
	static $allowed_actions = array('rss');
	
	/* RSS FEED */
	function rss() {
	  $rss = new RSSFeed($this->Children(), $this->Link(), "The coolest news around");
	  $rss->outputToBrowser();
	}
}

class ArticleHolder_Controller extends Page_Controller{
	function init() {
	   RSSFeed::linkToFeed($this->Link() . "rss");	
	   parent::init();
	}
}

?>

You need to add the $allowed_actions to the controller - not the model as the controller deals with the URL requests.

hahaha, thanks. I feel lazy now because that was so obvious. Thanks.

Any red flags on my BrowserPoll code?

Could you post the full backtrace of your error. The actual line that is red in the error is misleading the *actual* cause of the error is usually traced to one of the options in the backtrace.
