Hi guys,

I'm having this function in my TipHolder_Controller (extends Page_Controller):

function edit()
{
        $output = array(
			"EditForm" => $this->EditForm, 
			"Title" => "Wijzig Je Locatie"
			);
	return $this->customise($output)->renderWith(array('EditForm', 'Page'));
}

When doing that I get this error:

FATAL ERROR: ViewableData_Customised::obj() 'Title' was requested from the array data as an object but it's not an object. I can't cast it.

I want to change the normal page title from within that action...
I'm actually not seeing the difference (yet) with what there's going on in the search tutorial - results method, where it's not working for me either
see http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=tutorial:4-site-search#showing_the_results

Nobody?

This even seems to crash the 'lostpassword' function, that also seems to set the title..?

Hi dio5,

I just ran into the same problem and have a solution.

My situation was as follows: Because I needed to use the LimitWordCount method on the title of the page, I had to cast it to a text (default it is a varchar and LimitWordCount is not available on that).

So I added:

static $casting = array(
	  "Title" => "Text",
	);

When I subsequently implemented a search (search tutorial) and added this:

$data = array(
			'Results' => $form->getResults(),
			'Query' => $form->getSearchQuery(),
			'Title' => "Search results"
		);

I got the "I can't cast" error because now there wasn't an object to cast, but there was only a string.

I solved it by changing the Title in the $data array:

$obj = new Varchar("Title"); // Or set this to Text/etc...
$obj->setValue("This is my page title");
		
$data = array(
	'Results' => $form->getResults(),
	'Query' => $form->getSearchQuery(),
	'Title' => $obj
);

Now the title is an object and all code works happily ever after...
