I am Swf banner, that randomly rotates for each page.

I have made a Dataobject, with file upload and alternate text/images fine in CMS.

But When trying to loop thru in templates i get no data even tho i see several items in the DOM inside siteconfig.

Here's my Dataobject code(SwfBannerResource.php)

<?php

class SwfBannerAdResource extends DataObject
{
static $db = array (
'AdName' => 'Text',
'Link' => 'Text'

);

static $has_one = array (
'Attachment' => 'Image', //Needs to be an image
'Swf' => 'File',

'SiteConfig' => 'SiteConfig'

);

public function getCMSFields_forPopup()
{
return new FieldSet(
new TextField('AdName'),
new TextField('Link'),
//new FileIFrameField('Attachment'),
new FileAttachmentField('Attachment', 'Static jpeg 1017px by 112px'),
new FileAttachmentField('Swf', 'Swf 1017px by 112px')

);
}
}

Here's my Site config (part of it)

public function updateCMSFields(FieldSet &$fields) {

$manager = new DataObjectManager(
$this->owner,
'SwfBanners',
'SwfBannerAdResource',
//'Swf',
array(
'AdName' => 'AdName',
'Link' => 'Link',
'Attachment.Name' => 'Attachment',
'Swf.Name' => 'Swf',

),
'getCMSFields_forPopup'
);
$manager->setParentClass('SiteConfig');
$manager->setSourceID($this->owner->ID);
/*
$manager->setUploadFolder("PublicationPage-" . $this->ID);
$manager->setAllowedFileTypes(array ('pdf','doc'));
*/

$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.SwfBanner", $manager);

And here's my template:

<% control SiteConfig %>

<% control SwfBanners %>
$Attachment
<div id="FlashContainer">
<a href="$Link">
$Attachment
</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
swfobject.embedSWF(
"$Swf.URL",
"FlashContainer",
"1017", "112",
"9.0.0",
"nzkier2/nzskier/js/swfobject/expressInstall.swf"
);
/* ]]> */
</script>
<% end_control %>
<% end_control %>

I haven't got randomizing yet, I'm just trying to loop thru all the SwfBanner data object and get them to display.

But only "/assets/" is output by the template even tho in the CMS i can see the files, urls, etc.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

I am having the same sort of problem....
Is there anybody who could help us with that?

I can access any field I create in any tab of the SiteConfig. however when I try to run a control loop to a

// Relation into SiteConfig extension

$has_many=array('Cars'=>'Car');

// Relation into DataObject extension (Car)

$has_one=array('SiteConfig'=>'SiteConfig');

The following loop
// .ss File

<% SiteConfig %>
   <% Cars %>
      <li>.........</li>
   <% end_control %>
<% end_control %>

does not return any element from the list that I can manage using DataObjectManager(this works very smooth), which seats on a new Tab created in the SiteConfig.
It is like Cars does not exist.

Thanks in advance....

PS: This Forum has been clarified lot of my doubts!!! (But I still have a lot to go....)

Cheers to you all..

I tried to create the following function at Page_Controller class

function CarList() {
         return DataObject::get('Car');
   }

then created a control loop to CarList in my template.
no success....

Solution....

Instead of creating the function inside the Page_Controller, I inserted this function inside the Decorator class that extends the Page_Controller.

Example:

   class CarGalleryDecorator_Config extends DataObjectDecorator {
      ..... // Here I define the relations and create a new tab that holds the DOM
   }

   class CarGalleryDecorator_Controller extends Extension {

      function SidebarLinkList() {
         return DataObject::get('SidebarLink');
      }
   }

and in mysite/_config.php

Object::add_extension('Page_Controller', 'CarGalleryDecorator_Controller');
DataObject::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'CarGalleryDecorator_Config');

For some reason I would think that what was done in the previous post would work the same way as this one.
But not....

By the way, happier now that it works!!!!
