Re: Site search - Tutorials - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Jordan Koncz — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 22:24:57 -0000

I just want to point out that adding full site search is nowhere near as complicated as this tutorial makes it seem.

To add search to your site, you just need to do the following:

1. Put FulltextSearchable::enable(); in your mysite/_config.php file
2. Create the themes/simple/templates/Layout/Page_results.ss file (you can copy/paste the example template included in this tutorial)
3. Put $SearchForm wherever you want the search form to appear

Felt like this was worth posting after a colleague got confused by this tutorial and started implementing a bunch of unnecessary code.

Re: Grouping dataobjectsets - Howto - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

If you plan to group by title:

"PHP stops infinite recursion on magic methods. $this->Title would
call $this->getTitle() which would call $this->Title which would
call $this->getTitle() and so on.

Instead, use $this->getField('Title')"

Re: Pagination - Howto - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Yes, as of 3.0 this limits it at the database level and generates simple count queries to calculate number of pages etc,

Re: Pagination - Howto - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Patrick Nelson — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 21:30:44 -0000

Out of curiosity: Does this limit results for DataObjects at the database level? I don't see that mentioned here. Just to make sure we aren't fetching unnecessary results into memory that aren't being used.

$Form is a placeholder for the Login form, Forgotten Password or modules such as Userforms inject into it.

What is the purpose of the $Form variable found in page layout templates?

Re: Configuration - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Sebastian Mucke — Tue, 02 Sep 2014 16:45:45 -0000

Just two small remarks on replacing configuration values:
Using the Config class you have to call remove() and update() to set a new configuration value.
Using YAML files you have to know, that array values (such as $summary_fields) can't be replaced via YAML as array values are merged. (as SS 3.1)

In the includes section it says "Includes can't directly access the parent scope". This also means, there's no access to the Top scope of the including template via $Top as mentioned here:
https://github.com/silverst...

So: $Top is the current scope when the include was called. Nevertheless sometimes it's necessary to access the $Top scope within an include, especially when you think about recursive includes like menus or nested trees (f.e. comments). In such cases you may find following workaround helpful:

MainTemplate: Pass the $Top scope via variable to the nested template.
<% include NestedTemplate MainController=$Top %>

NestedTemplate: Hand it over down the include stack.
<% include NestedTemplate MainController=$MainController %>

Now you're able to call the $Top scope within the include via $MainController whenever you like.

Re: Uploadfield - Reference - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Marijn Kampf — Thu, 15 May 2014 05:00:47 -0000

Note you have to return a Form object from the function Form(...) if you use UploadField. You can't use renderWith as it errors on the file upload check:
/gallery/Form/field/Images/fileexists?filename=image.jpg

ERROR [User Warning]: popCurrent called on ModelAsController controller, but it wasn't at the top of the stack
IN GET /gallery/Form/field/Images/fileexists?filename=image.jpg
Line 455 in \framework\control\Controller.php

Also avoid the use of any output as Debug::Show() in your Form function as it breaks the JSON code that is generated, breaking your UploadFile.



    public function Form() {
        $fields = new FieldList(
            new TextField('Title', 'Title', null, 255),
            $field = new UploadField('Images', 'Upload Images')
        ); 
        $field->setCanAttachExisting(false); // Block access to Silverstripe assets library
        $field->setCanPreviewFolder(false); // Don't show target filesystem folder on upload field
        $field->relationAutoSetting = false; // Prevents the form thinking the GalleryPage is the underlying object
        $actions = new FieldList(new FormAction('submit', 'Save Images'));

        // This gives an error
        // return $this->renderWith(array('PrettyForm', 'Page'), array('Form' => $form));

        // Only the original example works
        return new Form($this, 'Form', $fields, $actions, null);
    }

Re: Modeladmin - Reference - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Little problem with the docs..

DataLists are now immutable, meaning you'll need to do this:

public function getList() {

$list = parent::getList();

// Always limit by model class, in case you're managing multiple

if($this->modelClass == 'Product') {

$list = $list->exclude('Price', '0');

}

return $list;

}

Re: Modules - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Will Rossiter — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 22:24:06 -0000

Yes, from 2012 but that was around 3.0 release and that was too late in the process to introduce it. Looking at 4.0 / 3.2 perhaps for such a change.

Re: Modules - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Joe Hayes — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 22:01:01 -0000

That discussion was from 2012! Honestly, the fact that I'd have to keep cache files etc. in a public folder (.htaccess or not) has kept me from giving SilverStripe a chance. It shouldn't require hacks to change the directory structure, just take a look at how modern frameworks like Laravel do it in their bootstrap file.

Re: Modules - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Will Rossiter — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 04:36:23 -0000

Support for this is coming in the next major release. See https://groups.google.com/d... for more of a discussion

Re: Modules - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Jochen Schultz — Wed, 22 Jan 2014 09:10:32 -0000

Having modules inside the rootfolder IMHO is not the perfect solution.

I would prefer something like

projectroot
|
-- /document root

.....|

.....-- index.php ( including frameworks main and passing request params)

.....-- .htaccess

.....-- /assets
|
-- /vendor

......|

......-- /silverstripe

............|
............- /framework

Re: Environment management - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Will Rossiter — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 01:47:49 -0000

No. A single environment file is loaded but that environment file is a PHP file, so you can include your own require() code to parent directories if you want to set it up that way.

Re: Environment management - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Tim John — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 05:15:23 -0000

Do the settings of _ss_environment.php files cascade in any way? For example, can I set global database connection details in the parent directory, but also set invividual live/dev environments in individual site directories?

BJ Chippindale — Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:23:33 -0000

SET the TEMP_FOLDER define. Decide where you want it, CREATE the directory, and set it. If "silverstripe-cache" is not where it can be written by apache or is blocked by SELinux or anything else, there can be infinite and fatal memory consumption. The defaults do not always work.

Re: Image - Reference - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

SeaWill — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 23:21:34 -0000

woth noting you can either chain methods to get at properties, or use a with... block to have control of the html

<% with $Image.CroppedImage(80,80) %>
<img src="$URL" alt="$Caption" class="th"/>
<% end_with %>

Re: Phpunit configuration - Howto - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Nik Rolls — Sun, 05 Jan 2014 19:25:09 -0000

Correction to the section about SQLITE3; the phpunit.xml file should use the 'get' tag rather than 'var', because they go to $_GET and $_ENV respectively.
Also, the _config.php code is quite odd; something like the following makes more sense:

if (Director::isDev() and isset($_GET['db']) and $_GET['db'] === 'sqlite3') {
global $databaseConfig;
$databaseConfig['type'] = 'SQLite3Database';
}

Re: Controller - Topics - Framework - SilverStripe Documentation

Optic Blaze — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 07:35:56 -0000

Just to add to bambii7

I found that using SS3.1.2 if you use the default controller structure eg $Action/$ID/$OtherID then you can call the variable as follows without having to add $request parameter to your function:

// Get $ID from url
$this->urlParams['ID']

// Get $OtherID from url
$this->urlParams['OtherID']

I also found that depending how you use the variable you might need to specify if the variable is set or not. If you don't, you could get a 'Undefined Variable' notice:

// Get $ID and check that it is set
isset($this->urlParams['ID'] )

Important note: You need to ?flush=1 your site before changes to the config.yml file(s) are applied. Not stated here, not obvious either.
