Hello,

I'm new to silverstripe and playing with ModelAdmin. I'm trying to overwrite SearchForm() in my EnquiryAdmin Class. Thing is Overwriting doesn't work for me.

class EnquiryAdmin_CollectionController extends ModelAdmin_CollectionController{

	public function SearchForm() {
		$form = parent::SearchForm();
		var_dump($form);
		die;
		return $form;
	} ...
 
}

No dump, no die :S

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Hi bueckl,

In ModelAdmin there is more than one search form, there is one search form per model and scaffolding is done from either the Summary_fields or the search_fields in the DataObject, to provide further customization to it you can (again within the DataObject) do this...

public function scaffoldSearchFields() {
	$fields = parent::scaffoldSearchFields();
	var_dump($fields);
	return $fields;
}

Hi swaiba,

Got it. Thanks for the hint!
