Extending the Admin CMS - Dealers Tab
4 May 2010 at 12:15am Last edited: 4 May 2010 11:23pm
Hello,
I want to extend the Admin part of the CMS because I want to create a dealer Locator.
I've made a sketch on how it must look:
Specs:
- Extra tab in CMS: Dealers (list must contain all the dealers in the dataBase)
- With the icons you must be able to delete or modify an entry
- With the add button you must be able to add an entry- Variables in each row/entry:
naam varchar(100)
adres varchar(100)
postcode varchar(6)
plaats varchar(100)
telefoon varchar(25)
website varchar(150)Tutorial
I already followed some tutorials about this subject, but they are not sufficient. When I tried the tutorials I got a white screen..
followed:
- http://doc.silverstripe.org/modeladmin?s[]=modeladmin
and:
- http://doc.silverstripe.org/dataobject#customizing_scaffolded_fieldsAlso done read this presentation:
- http://www.slideshare.net/chillu/modeladmin-in-silverstripe-23
and downloaded the files, see page 28, and click the link.But those files didnt work for me with SilverStripe 2.3.7!
Combined the files with my files online, but when: dev/build?flush=1
I only go a white screen..!) Please help me, where do I start to build this feature?
Thank you!

In a hurry?
This should get you going: it will create a Dealer Locator menu item in the CMS, where you can add Dealers using the ModelAdmin functionality. Just curious - why not just use a ComplexTableField (or DataObjectManager if you wish) on some Dealer Page (unless you're planning to add a large amount of dealers, that is)?Dealer.php
<?php
class Dealer extends DataObject {static $db = array(
'naam' => 'Varchar(100)',
'adres' => 'Varchar(100)',
'postcode' => 'Varchar(6)',
'plaats' => 'Varchar(100)',
'telefoon' => 'Varchar(25)',
'website' => 'Varchar(150)',
);static $searchable_fields = array(
'naam',
'adres',
'postcode',
'plaats'
);static $summary_fields = array(
'naam',
'adres',
'postcode',
'plaats'
);
}
?>DealerAdmin.php
<?php
class DealerAdmin extends ModelAdmin {public static $managed_models = array(
'Dealer'
);static $url_segment = 'dealerlocator';
static $menu_title = 'Dealer Locator';
}
?>
Do a /dev/build/?flush=1 after -

I pressed the button twice
but yes I'm in a hurry I really like SilverStripe and want to learn as fast a possible ;)
Thank you for the code I will try it in a second! Thank you.
There will be like 400 dealers, therefor a different section would be nice?
I already have a database with 400 dealers in it, so I hope SilverStripe will be able to add 'records/rows' in this structure. -

Ok SUPER it works
How do I add a pencil-icon behind every entry so I can modify it? -

You can't (unless you want to go through a whole lot of trouble) and you don't have to. Just click on the items you added to open the popup...

I've magaged to change all my old entry's to the new database format.
So changed the record format from:
INSERT INTO `Dealer` (`ID`, `naam`, `adres`, `postcode`, `plaats`, `telefoon`, `website`)
into:
INSERT INTO `Dealer` (`ID`, `ClassName`, `Created`, `LastEdited`, `naam`, `adres`, `postcode`, `plaats`, `telefoon`, `website`) VALUES
and it works
But I do like to be able to make changes to each record in SilverStripe, now it is not possible. When I click a dealer, I can type new text into a field, but i can't hit the save button.
Is it possible to add this?
