Hello,

Can anyone can give an example on how to use updateCMSFields?

Basically I need to add a new field to Member class. My current code:

class Client extends DataObjectDecorator  {

	function extraStatics() {
		return array(
			'db' => array(
				'Phone' => 'Varchar'
			)
		);
	}

    public function updateCMSFields(FieldSet &$fields) {
        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Main', new TextField("Phone"));
    }

}

The new field (Phone) shows up fine in add/edit popup forms. But I want to display this field in summary list also.

Thanks,
Jatinder Singh Thind

For the summary field see the updateSummaryFields() function. http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/sapphire/model/DataObjectDecorator.html#methodupdateSummaryFields

Thanks for the reply. But how do I use updateSummaryFields?

I haven't been able to find any example usage of this method.

If you want to see usage for any update* functions its useful to look at the parent * function. summaryFields returns an associative array of "Field" => "Name" so you simply add what you want to that array

function updateSummaryFields(&$fields) {
$fields['Phone'] = "Phone Number";
}

Also looks like you could extraStatics to overload the summary_fields list

   function extraStatics() { 
      return array( 
         'db' => array( 
            'Phone' => 'Varchar' 
         ),
'summary_fields' => array(
'Phone' => 'Phone Number'
) 
      ); 
   }

Hi, How do you use that in SS3?

Thanks!
