mutliple textareas on each page
6 July 2010 at 3:24pm
Hi,
I am new to silverstripe,
just downloaded, went through a tutorial and setup my first silverstripe site, and I really like the simplicity of silverstripewhat I am wondering is:
How do I setup more than one editable textfield on a page? or is it possible? the tutorials (that I have seen) seem to only deal with one editable region.
my first layout/template has 3 columns and it would be great to have left nav and two editable separate textfields ,also, styling a css javascript dropdown menu to work with silverstripe, are there any good tutorials or faq on this?
thanks,

Course you can have multiple textareas!. Each text area needs to be made a unique database fields and then a form field added to the CMS. In your case (sidebars) I think you would want to make them HTML Areas rather than plain text.
First step is add the fields to the database. Edit your $db array to something like this.. (tutorial 2 gives you an introduction to this)
static $db = array(
"LeftBoxTxt" => "HTMLText",
"RightBoxTxt" => "HTMLText"
);Second step is to add it the CMS (again this is covered in depth in tutorial 2)
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new HTMLEditorField("LeftBoxTxt","Left box text"));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new HTMLEditorField('RightBoxTxt','Right box text'));
return $fields;
}After doing that rebuild your database (by visiting yoursite.com/dev/build) and now you should have 2 more editor fields in the cms which you can call in your template.
