Solved: Creating a banner tool for a site?
10 November 2009 at 2:20am Last edited: 10 November 2009 12:17pm
Greetings again. I am trying to create a banner tool in a site using SS, but I am not sure how that could be done. Anyone willing to help?
Banner is on the top side of the page, and I have the template included in Page.ss like this: <% include BannersTop %> (and BannersTop.ss in /themes/mysite/templates/includes/). Other banner spot is on the sidebar (but thats not important, nor the problem).
Now, I would want to be able to disable/activate 1 or more banners sidewide from one page. I think it should be done by making an BannerHolder -page, which contains single banners as sub pages. Then these banners would have a tick box in admin view for showing/not showing on a pagewide.
Is this possible?

rather than page types i suggest you to have dataobjects. and create relationships over Pages, and the DataObjects, using the has_one / has_many arrays.
You can use ComplexTableField to create relationships. Have a look at the Diary module which I maintain and see whether you can understand the code.

Diary was too hard for me to understand. >.<
Oh well, I did manage to solve this on other way.
Page.php:
<?php
class Page extends SiteTree {
static $db = array(
'Aktiivinen' => 'Boolean'
);
static $has_one = array(
"Banner" => "Banner",
);
}class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
public function init() {
parent::init();
}
function topBanners() {
$bansku = DataObject::get("BannerPage");
return $bansku;
}
}
?>HomePage.ss:
<% control topBanners %>
<% if Aktiivinen %>
<div id="topBanner"><a href="$Url">$Bannerikuva</a></div>
<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>BannerPage.php:
<?php
/**
* Defines the BannerPage page type
*/
class BannerPage extends Page {
static $db = array(
'Url' => 'Text',
);
static $has_one = array(
'Bannerikuva' => 'Image',
);
static $icon = "themes/tutorial/images/treeicons/banners";function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new CheckboxField ('Aktiivinen'));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextField('Url'));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new ImageField('Bannerikuva'));
$fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Content.Main","Content");
$fields->removeFieldFromTab("Root.Content.Main","Navigation label");
return $fields;
}
}class BannerPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
}?>
Dunno if its the right way to do it, but it definetly works.

Rather than a new Page type I would use DataObjects, a Page is a lower level in the hierarchy, which means that it inherits from the DataObject.
Anyway the fact I go for DataObjects is that it does not influence the SiteTree, as the banners wont be used for any other purpose than storing an image.
