Template Control Question
22 August 2011 at 12:38pm
Hello,
I am attempting to use the SimplePicasaGallery module and pull content to another page. I'm a bit of a silverstripe noob so be warned.
I have the following in a theme template. I created a SimplePicasaGallery page named "pics". I'm attempted to pull one of the functions and display photo thumbs. I can't get any of the functions in the page_controller to call from the control tag for the template. In this case I'm tyring to call PIcasaAlbumList which should have a $Thumb url that would be displayed. However the following code does not display anything.
Note: If I go to the pics page everything displays so I know it is working.
Here's my code:
<% control Page(pics) %>
<% control PicasaAlbumList %>
<a href='$Top.Link/viewalbum/$Id'>
<img src="$Thumb" alt="$Description" <% if ShowDescription %>title="$Description"<% end_if %>/>
</a>
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %> -

Are you sure that 'pics' is the URL segment of the picasa page? Double check 'meta data' tab. My hunch is it might be something else?

Its pics. I purposely named it to make it easy.
So what am I missing to make this work?

Try putting something like this in the controller for the page you want to bring the picassa page into:
function ShowPicsPage(){
$get = DataObject::get_one('TheClassNameOfYourPicassaPicsPage', "URLSegment = 'pics'");
return new TheNameOfThePicasa_Controller($get);
}Then in your template:
<% control ShowPicsPage %>
<% control PicasaAlbumList %>
<a href='$Top.Link/viewalbum/$Id'>
<img src="$Thumb" alt="$Description" <% if ShowDescription %>title="$Description"<% end_if %>/>
</a>
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %> -
