Newbie Questions
12 September 2010 at 6:42pm
Hi all, Im pretty new to SS but Im digging it so far... a couple of things are confusing me and I cant seem to find any documentation on them.
Firstly, $URLSegment is fine for top level pages, but if a template in a subpage calls $URLSegment then I only get the last chunk of the URL. Eg on /articles/article-01 it returns /article-01. What if I want to get the entire thing? $ExternalURL and $LegacyURL dont seem to work, and I cant seem to find any other page controls to do what I need.
Second, can I make certain fields editable only by certain users? If I create a data object with, say, a "PreloadBeforeShow" and a "PreloadWithMain" fields defined in $db, and add those fields to a CMS tab, how can I control which users can see those fields in the admin interface?

* You should use $Link to get the full link to a page.
* Editing is normally done on a object basis rather than per cms field. If you want to do it on a per field basis then you will have to it with custom code. Eg if you have a member in the group 'Admin' and a member in the group 'Content Editors' and you want to make something admin only you can check for the group using inGroup('Admin') (or you should step up permission codes http://doc.silverstripe.org/permission)
For example using groups..
$fields = ...
$member = Member::currentUser();
if($member->inGroup('Admin') {
// add an admin only field
}
..
