this code is still giving out errors, here is what it is telling me

FATAL ERROR: Bad class to singleton() - Registration
At line 85 in ********/hwn/sapphire/core/Core.php

this is not an issue about not having php tags either, not really sure what to do

Line 46 requiredArray[] = $customArray; need to be declared as a variable... e.g. Change it to "$requiredArray[] = $customArray;"

What's the use case for this recipe? It's a bit of a security flaw allowing DB writes from the URL.

It would be easier to directly update the database using phpMyAdmin, and less of a security hazard.

If I go into the CMS and try to "add registrations data object" I get this error... "Data-integrity is broken in TariffsDataObject"

I removed the following code

function extraJs() {
$v =
<<<JS
/* ALL YOUR JAVASCRIPT TRICKS HERE */

JS;
return $v;
}

and so far no errors, I will see if this is the solution i'm looking for

This only fixed the building going ok, now I'm getting

Error in Ajax evaluator on line 974: missing ; before statement
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in *****/mysite/code/Registration.php on line 136

This problem is because there are numerous functions being declared out of the class, the bracket on line 68 needs to be removed and put at the end of the code.

Under "Best Practices --> Updating DataObjects" the code, if taken verbatim gives you an error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRIVATE in *****/mysite/code/Registration.php on line 71

this page could be a little more helpful/descriptive

the author simply stopped telling us where the code snipits were coming from (aka where to put them), that kind of information is priceless

maybe rework this a little and explain the code like the tutorials? (e.g. after each snipit of code, explain the code and code rationale)

"If you want to translate custom columns in your SiteTree-subclasses, you have to explicitly enable them for translation.

Coming Soon"

How do I do this?

I tried with

static $extensions = array(
"Translatable('MyField')",
);

But this resulted in _a_lot_ of errors

In Firefox 3 on Ubuntu 8.0.4, I needed to clear the cache before the install would work. This bug is therefore incorrectly logged:

Hi - I'd agree with the comment by djeberl, SS has been deployed as the new website management system at the office I am doing some contract work for, and while I am used to some CMS's, this particular system is by far the best, really really useful. The system has been set up by a professional silverstripe person, and I'm now involved in the content management side of things, but it has triggered my interest greatly in looking into further learning about creating modules and things with the system - therefore I'm going to try out doing some installs and creation on my own, and this type of tutorial right here is in fact very very helpful the way it is at the moment - very clear and directly applicable to the reality of the setup, which - I must mention - a lot of tutorials involving CMS's are not at all clear about when it comes to the fundamentals of setup processes. And as a fellow Wellington-based IT developer, I congratulate you on your very fine work in this field by the way!

Hi Nicolaas,

I am having the same problem due to ampersands being in some of the pages. Can you post your code to help me out?

Thanks

I have put this ticket up suggesting some improvements to the rewritetest.php system: http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/2608

Lukin - it would be helpful if you could add yourself to the CC field for the ticket, so that you can see if new versions of this feature work on your configuration.

Hi Jess,

If you can set up a database login with CREATE DATABASE rights, then the installer will create the database for you.

Each 'Module' has its own _config.php file. So the _config.php under auth_openid controls the config for that module. While it would work fine to have your config code in there I wouldn't recommend it :D

You should keep your config options to a) mysite/_config.php or tutorial/_config.php depending on what option you selected at the install process.

The file path is incorrect for _config.php on SilverStripe V_2.2.2 installed on a GoDaddy web Hosting account.

it should be ./auth_openid/_config.php ! Not ./mysite/_config.php

Nay, nay, gentlemen. This is an EXCELLENT tutorial just as it is -- and it is so precisely because it works from scratch rather than hacking up a more completely themed site using blackcandy. Trust me on this one.

The only thing I remember wrong is that the instruction to invoke "http://localhost:3000/db/build?flush=1" isn't correct, at least on my machine. I stumbled a bit until I realized I needed to invoke "http://localhost:8888/silverstripe-v2.2.2/db/build?flush=1". The use of the "?flush=1" argument could have been a little clearer as well. All in all, however, this was an exceptionally clear and entirely useful tutorial. I especially liked the way the second level menu mirrored (and reinforced) concepts used in the first level.

Please consider my comment carefully. I am a new user of SilverStripe, not an old hand like sminnee et alia. As such, I am probably more representative of the audience needing a tutorial. Yup, a from scratch approach is just what the doctor ordered for a yank like me, LOL!

And thanks, guys. I've been looking for years without success for a truly useful CMS. SilverStripe fills the bill at last!

I have 2 problems:

N°1:
"Is the .htaccess file writeable? User '#####' needs to be able to write to this file:
/....../......./...../...../.htaccess"

N°2:
"mod_rewrite enabled
I can't tell whether mod_rewrite is running. You may need to configure a rewriting rule yourself."

I tried to finde where "$HTTP[’url’]" is, to insert the code above. Is it on install.php?

vista doesn't like the rewritetest.php
after installer tells you that he is gonna redirecting you to rewritetest just abort the installation
and open that link:
