    controller for m:n - and a connected further Table Link to this post

    12 April 2009 at 4:42am

    Hi, i am new to SS. So this might be a noob question.
    I want a Sidebar on almost every Page. In this Sidebar i want some Download-Links to Files.
    So i made a m:n - relation for Page:Downloads (names "SidebarDownloads"). Downloads is a dataObjectclass with a has-one-Relation to FILE.
    This does work in CMS.

    The Problem is the Template.
    If i make a controller <% control SidebarDownloads %> i can access all Data from Table Downloads, beloging to this Page.
    But the actual Filename is in class "File". How can i make a link in the Template?

    Sorry for my bad english.

    <% control SidebarDownloads %>$FileName.Link<% end_control %> should do it, where FileName is the name of the has_one to a File in the Downloads DataObject
