Use content from About Us page on a section of Homepage
12 October 2010 at 11:53pm
What I am trying to do is somewhat similar to the news section in the tutorial, only without the Holder, sort of.
Basically I have an about-us page, and I want the content from that to also appear on the homepage (which also has other things on it). I'm a beginner with SilverStripe so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to do this, so any suggestions would be most appreciated.

in the hompepage controller...
function AboutUsContent()
{
$doAboutUsPage = DataObject::get_one('Page',"URLSegment = '<url segment of aboutus page>'");
if ($doAboutUsPage) return $doAboutUsPage->Content;
else return 'No About Us Page';
}add this in your homepage template...
$AboutUsContent

if you want to select the page from the CMS you can do something like this...
static $has_one = array(
'Page' => 'Page'
);function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$tablefield_page = new HasOneDataObjectManager(
$this,
'Page',
'Page',
array('Title' => 'Title'),
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
);$tablefield_page->setPermissions(array());
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Page', $tablefield_page);
return $fields;
}// getCMSFields....
function getPageContent(){
return DataObject::get_by_id('Page', $this->PageID);
}// getPageContent -

also allows you to create shell pages with different permissions.

Thanks swaiba, that looks perfect, but I can't quite get it going, it's just returning "No About Us Page."With my limited knowledge of PHP the error is probably right under my nose.
function AboutUsContent() {
$doAboutUsPage = DataObject::get_one('Page',"URLSegment = '/about-us/'");
if ($doAboutUsPage) return $doAboutUsPage->$Content;
else return 'No About Us Page';
}Since it's returning the else condition fine, I'm guessing my URLSegment is wrong? I tried searching for how it should be written but haven't found anything specific enough to this issue.

Or skip over the PHP and in your homepage template just do
<% control Page(about-us) %>
$Content
<% end_control %> -

Thank you so much Willr, that's absolutely perfect and will come in handy a few more times on this site too! Thank you!
