Hi!

I create a new page type (ArticlePage.php) with a new field: date. Silverstripe create a new table articlepage in db.

If a call in my ArticlePage.ss the new field $date I can't see the value. Otherwise if a call $Title a see the name of the page. The cause is that Title filed is defined in sitetree table? to see $date i can use a query in ArticlePage.php?

could you post the relevant code... I am fairly sure this should work...

This is my ArticlePage.php

class ArticlePage extends Page {

public static $db = array(
"date" => "Date",
);

And this is my ArticlePage.ss
<div class="dashtop01">
$Title $date
</div>

The first $Title variable is correct and print ArticlePage title. $Date is not correct but in my articlepage table date field is not empty

maybe it is todo with capitalisation? could you rename your field 'Date' instead? (or if there is a conflict 'ArticleDate'?)

what does $Created get you? (this is another 'core' field)

I think the problem is not the name but the field. If Ihave a core field like Title I can use $Title in my .ss file. If I have a new field, only for my new page, I can't do that. What do you think? Is this correct?

Maybe it is because by default you are at 'Page' level/context/control and cannot see your extended fields...

e.g. it is like your template is surrounded with

<% control Page %>
<% end_control %>

How about creating a function in your controller like

function ControlArticlePage()
{
return DataObject::get_by_id('ArticlePage',$this->ID);
}

<% control ControlArticlePage %>
$date
<% end_control %>

Thanks!the last is the correct solution!!
