I've created 3 new tables for my SilverStripe site and now I need to manage them. Each table needs to be administered.

I've created a controller and I can see my form showing on the site (doesn't do anything yet).

In the admin section I can see my "page" and it's looking like a content page right now. I need it to have 3 separate forms
* to add/edit/delete rows in table 1
* to add/edit/delete rows in table 2
* to upload csv files, groom data and insert into table 3

If I create something like the NewsHolder::NewsPage concept for this won't I end up with a similar structure at the front?

What is the best approach for working wiht this?

thanks

Sarah

Thanks

I used the tutorial at http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=leftandmain and changed the classname to GenericDataAdmin. I've got the base screen up so now i can start to play :)

Is the artist who did the buttons available to do more?

I've been off this project for a bit and back at it now, trying to work out what I should be putting in my javascript so that it catches the correct info on the left and makes the correct call to the right.

Are there any tutorials on how to extend LeftAndMain_left.js?

I think you were able to work this out in #silverstripe yesterday?

05:37 < sarahk> elijah - who do we submit changes to the docs to?

Hi Sarah,

If you want to edit the wiki simply register and then login. :)

If you are talking about the API docs, you can submit a patch on the Contributions forum.

Hope this helps,

Elijah
