Hi everyone

Just trying to create a simple related pages, which oddly I can not find a tut for anywhere! I will make one once this is finished.

What I want to do is pull through the Related Page details into the summary fields, so I can see whats related instead of just the ID. I have no idea how to do this...

So i have...

<?php
class RelatedPage extends DataObject {

    public static $db = array(
            "SortOrder" => "Int",
            "RelatedPageID" => "Int"
    );

    public static $has_one = array(
            "Page" => "Page"
    );

    public static $has_many = array(
    );

    public static $field_labels = array( 
    );

     static $summary_fields = array (
        $this->Link;
    );

    function getCMSFields() {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main',new TreeDropdownField("RelatedPageID", "Select related page", "SiteTree"));
        $fields->removeByName('SortOrder');
        $fields->removeByName('PageID');
        return $fields;
    }

    public function Link(){
        if ($this->RelatedPageID){
            $doSet = DataObject::get_by_id("Page", $this->RelatedPageID);
            $parentID = $doSet->ParentID;
            $URLString = $doSet->URLSegment;
            while ($parentID != 0){
                $doSet = DataObject::get_by_id("Page", $parentID);
                $parentID = $doSet->ParentID;
                $URLString = $doSet ->URLSegment . '/' . $URLString;
            }
            return Director::BaseURL() . $URLString;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }

}

On the summary page of "Page" i would like to see

Page Title, Thumbnail (which is and has_one image on Page) and Link (which is the function above).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Lozhowlett.

There might be a better way. But you could easily mimic the Link function to return the summary of the related page. But I think there is an error in the summary_fields at the mo. Try updating the below code, renaming Link to getLink. Then reference 'Link' in the summary field.

static $summary_fields = array ( 
    'Summary',
    'Link'
);
public function getSummary() {
    $this->Page()->Content->Summary();
}
public function getLink() {
    ....
}
