Hi,
fairly new to SS, but loving it so far.
working on a site with a table of products.
simple table, that can be managed via modelAdmin.
i want the products to then be listed in a table on the frontend, with 25 per page, with next, previous links etc. then add a search box that searches ONLY the table of products. each product will not have its own page though, just sit in the table with a link to email/enquire about that product.
so far, i have this:
http://www.worldaircraftsolutions.com.sg/catalogue/
to get to where i am, i created the following:
in mysite>code>myCatalgueAdmin.php
<?php
class MyCatalogAdmin extends ModelAdmin {
public static $managed_models = array( //since 2.3.2
'Product'
);
static $url_segment = 'products'; // will be linked as /admin/products
static $menu_title = 'Catalogue Admin';
}
?>
in mysite>code>Product.php:
<?php
class Product extends DataObject {
static $db = array(
'Title' => 'Varchar',
'PartNumber' => 'Varchar',
'SerialNumber' => 'Varchar',
'AircraftRegistration' => 'Varchar',
'Type' => 'Varchar',
'AircraftSerial' => 'Varchar',
'Quantity' => 'Varchar',
'Price' => 'Currency'
);
static $summary_fields = array(
'Title',
'PartNumber',
'SerialNumber'
);
static $searchable_fields = array(
'Title',
'PartNumber',
'SerialNumber'
);
}
?>
in mysite>code>Page.php:
function ProductList ($limit = 25){
$list = DataObject::get('Product', '', '', '', $limit);
return $list;
}
then in themes>template>catalogue.ss
<table id="ProductList" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<th width="">Title</th>
<th width="">Part Number</th>
<th width="">Serial Number</th>
<th width="">Aircraft <br>
Registration</th>
<th width="">Type</th>
<th width="">Aircraft <br>
Serial</th>
<th width="">Quantity </th>
<th width="">Email us</th>
</tr>
<% if ProductList %>
<!--$ProductList.sort(Title)-->
<% control ProductList %>
<tr height="20px">
<td>$Title</td>
<td>$PartNumber</td>
<td>$SerialNumber</td>
<td>$AircraftRegistration</td>
<td>$Type</td>
<td>$AircraftSerial</td>
<td>$Quantity </td>
<td><a href="mailto:test@test.com?subject=$Title">Email us</a> </td>
</tr>
<% end_control %>
<a href="$ProductList.NextLink">Next</a>
<a href="$ProductList.PrevLink">Previous</a>
<% end_if %>
</table>
$SearchForm
i cant figure out the following:
A) am i even on the right track??
B) how do i get the next and previous links to work? currently they just change append the URL with ?start=25 but the list doesn't change
C) the search box searches the whole site (and seems to skip this table of products all together)
if anybody can help with this i will be eternally grateful!
thank you!!
