User selected parameters on Reports

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:17:38 +1200

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to add a date range to my report. Ideally I want the report to show all records in a 24-hour period.

This is what I have so far:

class DailyReport extends SS_Report {

// the name of the report
public function title() {
return 'Auckland List';
}

// what we want the report to return
public function sourceRecords($params = null) {
return NomineeList::get()->where(array(
'"Venue"' => 'Auckland'
))->sort('Shared');
}

function parameterFields() {
$fields = DateField::create('Created', 'Report Day');
return $fields;
}

// which fields on that object we want to show
public function columns() {
$fields = array(
'RunnersFirstName' => 'First Name',
'RunnersLastName' => 'Last Name',
'RunnersEmail' => 'Email',
'Address' => 'Address',
'Message' => 'Message',
'Name' => 'Nominated by',
'Email' => 'Nominator\'s Email',
'Shared' => 'Shared'
);

return $fields;
}
}

Returning $this->customise with an #anchor

Tue, 12 Sep 2017 05:59:28 +1200

OK so I've been racking my brains to figure out the best way of achieving this and wonder if anyone has any experience of ideas?!?

We've heavily extended a version of MemberProfiles for a MemberDirectory based website and are providing a number of DataObjects within a front-end tab structure for editing. Part of this is an event calendar. Naturally, users what to be able to search for event within specific data criteria. Functionality wise, we've got it all working, but ONLY if we return $this->customise. This wouldn't normally be an issue, however using the Zurb Foundation 6 framework to display the data within a tab structure, we need to direct the users back to the URL with an #anchor appended to ensure the correct tab re-opens on page launch.

We can achieve the #anchor and correct page launch using a GET method, but the results won't populate (we assume because MemberProfilePage.php already uses the index() function? Then the $this->customise will produce the results, but not reload the page on the correct tab (always default).

So.... is there a way of adding an #anchor to the customise() or renderWith() based on this existing return code?
return $this->customise(array('eventResults' => $eventResults))->renderWith(array('MemberProfilePage_profile', 'MemberProfilePage'));

Any help would be massively appreciated as we're cutting it fine for beta testing and have 2 other little quirks that need addressing :(

Thanks guys
Antony

At a second glance, there are also extension hooks.

ModelAdmin:
- GridFieldDetailForm_ItemRequest: $this->extend("updateItemEditForm", $form);

GridFieldDetailForm_ItemRequest:
extensions:
- MyGridFieldDetailForm_ItemRequestExtension

class MyGridFieldDetailForm_ItemRequestExtension extends DataExtension {
   public function updateItemEditForm($form) {
      $form->loadDataFrom($myRecord);

CMS:
- CMSMain: $this->extend('updateEditForm', $form);

Overloading Admin Templates in 4.0

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 03:51:00 +1200

Now that the admin has been split out into a separate module in 4.0, the only way to overload the templates is to have a module that sits above it alphabetically e.g _my-custom-cms/templates/SilverStripe/Admin/Includes/*.ss will override the admin templates, but z-my-custom-cms will not.

Is there a way to force the admin to use a template regardless of it's folder name?

Cheers!

[SOLVED] How get the CMS form of a DataObject "getCMSForm" method

Tue, 18 Jul 2017 01:54:55 +1200

Hi all,

I am saving custom text fields in the CMS, what I mean by that is that where normally you'd have a DataObject with

private static $db = array(
'MyField' => 'Text'
);

And you then have

public function getCMSFields(){
...
TextField::create('MyField', 'Title of the field: ')
...
}

To add the fields to the form.

Well I am not using matching field names because I have custom save logic in place that saves the data some other way. So now I need to populate these textfields with data. Right now everytime you reload the CMS the fields are empty.

So what I'd like to to is
or:

TextField::create('MyCustomNameThatDoesNotMatch', 'Title of the field: ', 'Initial data that the user is editing')

or (what I see as feasable): Some method that returns me the Form instance of the CMS Form so I can use loadDataFrom on it to populate the fields with the data.

I really hope this is possible so I can continue working :)

Thank you all for reading this!

SilverStripe doesn’t have a custom template for the login form by default. Instead, it injects it into your default page type.

Re: Customize Upload Manager for Images

Mon, 03 Jul 2017 16:24:54 +1200

4 Years late to the party lol :o but for anyone wanting to know the answer to how we can extend the default image fields, heres how you do it:

Instead of creating a whole new FieldList and replacing the default fields on the image object as seen with the example below...

public function getCustomFields() {
$fields = new FieldList();
$fields->push(new TextField('Title', 'Titel'));
$fields->push(new TextField('Filename', 'Dateiname'));
$fields->push(new TextField('Alt', 'Alt'));
$fields->push(new TextField('Photographer', 'Fotograf'));
$fields->push(new DropdownField('Owner', 'Eigentümer'));
$fields->push(new DropdownField('Folder', 'Ordner'));
return $fields;
}

You can simply just utilise updateCMSFields on your DataExtension

public function updateCMSFields(FieldList $fields)
{
$photographer = new TextField('Photographer', 'Photographer');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', $photographer);
}

By updating the FieldList with the new fields (not overwriting) will solve your problem for the default view being removed :)

Hope this helps,

I have to handle race data. The time format for race time and laps is h:mm:ss.xxx, eg. 1:19:02.394.

A Time field only offers hh:mm:ss format and a max value of 23:59:59. Is there a way to change the format to hh:mm:ss.xxx and to allow hours beyond 23?

Thanks in advance.

Short answer is that you can create a custom uploader by extending off of CsvBulkLoader and then simply declare it in your ModelAdmin within $model_importers.

Adding Custom CsvBulkUploader to Model Admin

Sat, 27 May 2017 05:54:25 +1200

Hi, after looking at the documentation for the built-in CSV importing, it's still not clear to me how to add a custom CsvBulkUploader to ModelAdmin. I see how you can easily add the default uploader and how you can create a custom controller for importing but it's not clear to me how you would add this to a ModelAdmin. I've spent the morning looking through Stack Overflow and the SS community forums, but haven't been able to find anything yet. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

Changing UploadField "Select from files" default display order of all files from alphabetical to 'Created DESC' ?

Fri, 26 May 2017 03:03:35 +1200

Since 3.2 the UploadField "Select from files" shows files in all folders by default. It looks like these are in alphabetical order at the moment — is there an easy way to change the default to display these by newest files first?

At the moment this requires clicking on the 'Created' header twice each time before then selecting the file - and on a site with a lot of files this can be very slow. If you're choosing adding a lot of files that you've just uploaded to data objects this could be very helpful.

Creating a shortcode that handles collections of data

Thu, 25 May 2017 01:19:28 +1200

In my project I have a Feature class that extends DataObject. In Feature, I've defined a short code called `GetFeatureById`:

public static function GetFeatureById($arguments, $content = null, $parser = null, $tagName) {
$id = (int)$arguments['id'];
$feature = DataObject::get_by_id('Feature', $id);

$arrayData = new ArrayData(array(
'Title' => $feature->Title,
'Content' => $feature->Description,
'ImageURL' => $feature->Image()->url
));

return $arrayData->renderWith('SingleFeatureTemplate');
}

This short code retrieves a single Feature by providing an id, and it works as expected.
What I'm trying to do now is define a second shortcode `GetFeatures` that allows a user to pass in one to many parameters and renders 1 or more Features that match the parameters passed in. For example:

[get_features, section="foobar", limit=4]

would render a page of 4 Features that belong to the "foobar" section on the page. Here is the code I presently have to accomplish this:

public static function GetFeatures($arguments, $content = null, $parser = null, $tagName) {
$limit = isset($arguments['limit']) ? (int)$arguments['limit'] : '';
$filter = isset($arguments['section']) ? $arguments['section'] : '';
$sort = isset($arguments['sort']) ? $arguments['sort'] : '';

if ($filter == '') {
$listOfFeatures = Feature::get()->sort($sort)->limit($limit);
} else {
$listOfFeatures = Feature::get()->filter(array('Section.Title' => $filter))->sort($sort)->limit($limit);
}

return $listOfFeatures->renderWith('MultipleFeatureTemplate');
}

Here is my MultipleFeatureTemplate:

<% loop $Me %>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</h3>
</div>
<% end_loop %>

This works just fine (except I have no clue why I have to use $Me in my template to get it to work, but whatever). However, I don't know how to get access to each Feature's image. The relationship between Feature and Image is `has_one`. In the GetFeatureById shortcode I'm explicitly setting the `$ImageURL` variable for use in the template. I'm not sure how to accomplish this with the GetFeatures shortcode, however. Trying the following:

<% loop $Me %>
<div class="col-md-4">
<img src=$Image->url />
<h3>$Title</h3>
<p>$Description</h3>
</div>
<% end_loop %>

Results in properly displaying the Title and Description, but the url for the <img> does not get interpreted correctly. I have looked over the documentation for short codes multiple times and I haven't read anything that describes how to deal with rendering collections of DataObjects into a template that loops over that collection. Can anyone provide insight on how this might be done?

ModelAdmin: How to preserve search filters when clicking on the print or export as CSV buttons?

Tue, 02 May 2017 23:09:05 +1200

Hi all,

I have a project using SilverStripe 3.4.1 with a custom DataObject class called Document. I think there is something like 1000 - 2000 documents in the system and now my client asked whether it's possible to print or export only part of the list. Currently if I use the filter form to show only documents in a certain category, I can see the filtered list alright, but if I after that click on the export or print button at the top, it will print/export all documents without filtering.

Is this a bug or a feature? :)

Thanks! :)

How to allow multibyte characters in the names of uploaded files?

Thu, 13 Apr 2017 20:11:11 +1200

Hi,

I know how to enable multibyte characters in URL segments (via the configuration of the URLSegment class), but doing that has no effect on uploaded file names. If they contain multibyte characters, they will be transliterated. For example, an image file name Pääsiäinen.jpg (a Finnish word meaning Easter) becomes Paeaesiaeinen.jpg, because ä is not simply transliterated to a, but to ae instead. The current result is just really hard to read :D.

So it would be best to be able to keep the file name intact, but another good solution would be to modify the transliteration process so that ä would become a.

Thanks for your support! :)

Re: Complicated many many relationship

You could add in the code in an onBeforeWrite() function based on selecting a 'type' for the mentor. For example:

<?php
class Mentor extends DataObject {
private static $db = array(
'Name' => 'Varchar',
'Type' => 'Enum("BusinessMentor, CommunicationsMentor")',
'Code' => 'Text'
);

function onBeforeWrite(){

Complicated many many relationship

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 15:52:52 +1300

I would like to create a many many relationship, as per the tutorials. So far so good.
I'll use class Mentor from https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3/tutorials/dataobject_relationship_management/ to illustrate my idea.

What if there are different types of Mentors? Each mentor has a set skill. Some mentors have business skills, some have communication skills, etc. How would those different types be represented in such a way that when a mentor is added, their specific skill can be nominated?

The reason I ask this, is because I wish to be able to create various types that have secret information that should be used in a template, but someone using the many to many relationship doesn't need to worry about.

So for example: Mentor has a property called code.
In BusinessMentor it is set to 12A, and in CommunicationMentor it is set to 45C. Every Mentor who is a BusinessMentor has this code 12A. Every Mentor who is a CommunicationMentor has the code 45C.

When people are selecting Mentor's for the project in the CMS user interface, they don't need to worry about the underlying code, they just find the Mentor name and use that.

But that code is accessible in a template. Should the code be a DataObject itself?

Any ideas?

Re: Removing the entire 3rd row on default Content TinyMCE

Sun, 19 Mar 2017 00:10:54 +1300

I solved this by adding the following CSS to my cms.css file in mysite/extracss folder

.mceToolbarRow3 { display: none;}

It's a bit of a hack, but it works.

If anyone is interested here are the other items I've got in this extra css file that I find useful:

/* Hide ErrorPages from CMS */
li.class-ErrorPage {
display: none !important;
}

/* Gray out Pages hidden from menus */
.notinmenu > a {
color: #89878b !important;
}

/* Fixes extra margin on HTMLEditor Right Title labels */
.htmleditor.field label.right {
margin-left: 0;
}

/* Aligns UploadField with other normal fields! */
.ss-uploadfield .middleColumn {
float: left !important;
clear: none !important;
}

/* Hides Pages that can't be created in Add page list */
#Form_AddForm_PageType li.disabled {
display: none !important;
}

/* Float Gridfield 'Add New' button to the right */
.ss-gridfield > div.ss-gridfield-buttonrow-before {
float: right;
}

/* Hide TinyMCE HTMLEditor third row of buttons */
.mceToolbarRow3 { display: none;}

Some of these might already be addressed in 4.0 but I find the CMS experience better with these updates

Customising the information available in the member view for specific users

Sat, 18 Mar 2017 01:56:49 +1300

I am currently building a web application that has a number of QandA exercises, the user completes the exercises and then gets a score.
Additionally I wish to display a list of the exercises and the scores for the admin to view when they select the member in the security section.

What i need is help getting my head around the atoB approach of implementing this. My first instinct is to extend the member class and override the cms fields and add a 2nd tab, but I dont know how to link the member to its scores, i obviously need to setup additional data objects to deal with this but im unsure of how to bring it all together.

thank you for your help in advance.

Removing the entire 3rd row on default Content TinyMCE

Fri, 17 Mar 2017 04:21:17 +1300

I can customise the buttons that appear in each row of TinyMCE and even remove the Table controls using the code below but the third row still appears with just separators in it. Is there any way to remove these separators and remove this 3rd row completely?

HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('theme_advanced_blockformats', 'p,h1,h2,h3');
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('theme_advanced_disable', 'styleselect,cut,copy,paste,pasteword,undo,redo,selectall,visualaid,separator,Separator,|');
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setButtonsForLine(3);
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->disablePlugins('table');

This results in:

I would love to get rid of that last row!
(using CMS and Framework 3.5.2)

Re: Silverstripe version 3.1.9 Max file size?

Wed, 08 Mar 2017 21:58:24 +1300

Hi Kat

If you check out the docs on the Upload field (https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3/developer_guides/forms/field_types/uploadfield/) you will see some of the stuff you can do with uploads.

You can setAllowedMaxFileSize() on an upload field on each instance you wish to apply it, or add some options to your _config.yml file to apply globally.

Example from the upload field docs page is
_config.yml

Upload_Validator:
default_max_file_size:
'[image]': '1m'
'[doc]': '5m'
'jpeg': 2000

Or an individual upload field might look like

function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$upload = new UploadField('MyFile', 'My File Title');
$sizeMB = 2; // 2 MB
$size = $sizeMB * 1024 * 1024; // 2 MB in bytes
$upload->getValidator()->setAllowedMaxFileSize($size);
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.MyTab", $upload);
return $fields;
}

Silverstripe version 3.1.9 Max file size?

Tue, 07 Mar 2017 13:58:06 +1300

A user uploaded an image that was slightly larger than 8MB into a folder under the Files tab. Both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size were set to 32M now 64MB. This resulted in the user now longer being able to access that Folder through Silverstripe. The entry in the database table appears to be fine. The file uploaded fine and could be downloaded via FTP fine.

I removed that folder and tried to upload the image as part of a specialised page. The image does not upload.
I can't see the image on the server, though I do see a listing in the database table. The CMS refuses to navigate the page 3 where that file should be listed.

What could be going on?

*Yes, I realise 8MB is large for a photo. And isn't ideal. I can manually correct this myself. However, in future instances, how do I let the users do what they want to do? They may actually have good cause for posting such a large image. Is there a file size limit?

Revert the search form appearance in ModelAdmin to be like it was in SS 3.1

Mon, 06 Mar 2017 22:13:02 +1300

Hi,

I've just upgraded one site from 3.1 to 3.5 and I'm not sure at which version along the way the ModelAdmin search/filter form was moved from the left side to be opened by clicking an icon in the top right corner, which after the form appears on top of the page. I tried to search if there is an option to put it back the way it was before, but didn't find anything. I could also override some template files if I knew which one(s).

I think the new search form layout is good in cases where you rarely need the search (doesn't take up space), but my client told me that she uses the search all the time as she's managing over one hundred DataObjects in the list.

Thank you for your help! :)

Re: create a true virtual holder page with no urlsegment / have children URLsegments set at root level

You can set the config "SiteTree:nested_urls" to false to disable nested urls.

Fluent - all translated fields on one place

Fri, 24 Feb 2017 21:56:28 +1300

This is excellent module.
Anyway I have an admin question. I have a DataObject with some text fields and they have been marked as translated (with $translated = array....). Everything works fine with language switching from the green dropdown.
Here is my issue - is it possible transated fields for the different languages (e.g. Title_en_US, Title_bg_BG, Title_ru_RU.....) to be listed all together and thus to be skipped language switching from the dropdown and save the DataObject with one click?
Is there a way to switch off or disable temporarily Fluent?

create a true virtual holder page with no urlsegment / have children URLsegments set at root level

Thu, 23 Feb 2017 08:47:50 +1300

So i have a very specific task I need to accomplish, and I'd like to do this the *right way*.

Basically my client is interested in creating a landing page module for the website, with explicit permissions for certain members to only be allowed to interact with those specific pages. Fine.

However, the other requirement is that these pages are all accessible from the baseurl - i.e. www.example.com/my-landing-page/

The simplest solution is to allow said members to create pages at the root level... but I'd rather not let them do that, as it would quickly balloon out of control and the bloat to the site tree would not be scalable.

I would rather, ideally, do the following:
- Use the Blog Module as a holder page that doesn't exist as a page, but just holds the landing pages themselves
-- This can't be the homepage as I don't want these members to have access to the homepage, also because the homepage would append /home/ to the URLs anyway.
-- Users should be able to go into this holder page, create their landing page from a variety of different classes based on their need, and be able to set additional features yadda yadda yadda

All of that can be dealt with, except for the bypassing of the page creation. As far as I can tell, I can't tell Silverstripe to not actually publish a page but still have its children accessible - nor can I tell it to bypass the URLSegment requirement. I know I can still set it up with a urlsegment like "lp", but i'd rather just not have that be a page at all and keep the landing pages accessible from the root level, without cluttering up the site tree.

Is this at all possible? I can't find any documentation or other issues in the forums that would suggest it is.

Re: Admin Login template

Mon, 20 Feb 2017 21:14:45 +1300

Naveed - did you manage to find a way of doing this? I'm trying to achieve the same thing, but not sure how to pull the individual fields rather than the template.

Any help appreciated!
