renderWith() what control object to use???
14 June 2011 at 6:11pm Last edited: 14 June 2011 6:12pm
Hi Guys,
I am struggling a little with this... Obviously it is going to be a really simple answer, but I just can't crack it at the moment.
I am creating a browse page with ajax links to show more items.
So I have the AJAX working fine but my main problem is that I can get the dataobject to actually pass information through to the new template I a calling with renderWith(). I have tested and there is info in the dataobject it is just my lack of understand which value I should be using in the template I think
Function to return a list of books
public function books() {
$books = DataObject::get('Book', "ItemType = 'have' AND Status = 'available'", 'Created DESC, Value DESC', '');
return $this->renderWith('BrowsePage_Books');}
Template = BrowsePage_Books.ss
<div id="AllBooks" class="categoryBoxes">
<h2>Latest Books <a href="">View all Books</a></h2>
<ul id="ProductListing" class="productListing">
<% control Book %>
<li class="$FirstLast">
<a href="" class="productImage">
<% control ItemImage1 %>
<img src="$CroppedImage(104,104).URL" alt="$Title" class="entry-image" />
<% end_control %>
</a><br/>
<p class="productTitleContainer"><a href="" class="productTitle">$Title :: $Author</a></p>
<a href="" class="getItemLink">Get Item</a>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>I saw this post and so I tried [url=http://www.silverstripe.org/template-questions/show/15204]http://www.silverstripe.org/template-questions/show/15204
<% control Me %>
But still no luck... Obviously I am just not in the right context, but struggling to work out which context I should be in... Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Colin -

hey colin, u need to pass the data back to the template.
try something like:
$books = DataObject::get('Book', "ItemType = 'have' AND Status = 'available'", 'Created DESC, Value DESC', '');
$this->customize(array('books' => $books))->renderWith('BrowsePage_Books'); -

@ccburns chillburn.com.au 's solution is correct.
you cannot do:
return $this->renderWith('BrowsePage_Books'); it will not passing the data back to your template.
The $this->customize(array("$key"=>$value))->renderwith('Template') would do the trick.

I am having a similar confusion. But I can't do this:
$this->customize(array("$key"=>$value))->renderwith('Template')because the function customize() doesn't exist. Am I missing something?
I'm trying to put together some data and pass it on to the template. It is in the page controller I am trying to call $this->customize()
Thanks
