Conditional Fields in the CMS
3 January 2009 at 6:50am
Hi, I have a field in my Page.php getCMSFields function that I want to display on every TOP level page only. I don't want the field to show up in any level higher than 1. Is there a simple variable I can check with an if statement to do this?

Hey, thanks for replying. I found Parent() in the API, earlier but I couldn't figure out how to use it.
I tried your if statement, but it doesn't work. The field doesn't show up anywhere, and when I negate the if-statement you showed me, the field shows up on all pages, regardless of their hierarchy

It depends on how you have your architecture set up. Find out the parentID and just use that..
if(!this->Parent())
$fields->addFieldToTab...
else
$fields->addFieldToTab(new LiteralField('foo',$this->ParentID))if $this->Parent() is returning true, it will return something other than 0 in the LiteralField, in which case, you're not really at the top level. If you want to leave it the way it is, just do
if($this->ParentID == $theID)
//add the fieldor you could even do
if($this->Parent()->URLSegment == "some-page"))
you see what I mean..

I see what you mean. I was able to get my code to work with this statement:
if(!$this->Parent) {
$fields->addFieldToTab(Thanks for your help!!

I want to do this but the other way around. that is I have two image fields that I want to display only on top level... not children.
(the fields are declared in page.php)
Specifically on the blog entries in my blog module.
I tried
if(!$this->Level(0)) {
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.menuImage", new ImageField('menuImage'));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.menuImage", new ImageField('menuImageRoll'));}
but this did not work. fields still appear.
can anyone help?
