Hi All,

I'm working on updating a testimonial page from SS 2.4 to 3.1, I just cant seem to make it display by type.

So far I have the following:

TestimonialPage.php

<?php
class TestimonialPage extends Page {

	public static $db = array(
	);

	public static $has_one = array(
	);
	
	public static $has_many = array(
		'BigTestimonials' => 'BigTestimonials'
	);
	
	function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		
		//Testimonials
		$gridFieldConfig = GridFieldConfig::create()->addComponents(
		  new GridFieldToolbarHeader(),
		  new GridFieldAddNewButton('toolbar-header-right'),
		  new GridFieldSortableHeader(),
		  new GridFieldDataColumns(),
		  new GridFieldPaginator(10),
		  new GridFieldEditButton(),
		  new GridFieldDeleteAction(),
		  new GridFieldDetailForm()
		);
		
        $testimonialTable = new GridField("Testimonials", "Testimonials:", $this->BigTestimonials(), $gridFieldConfig);   
        $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Testimonials', $testimonialTable);
		
		return $fields;
	}
}

class TestimonialPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	public function GetTestimonials(){
		$testimonials = DataObject::Get('BigTestimonials', 'TestimonialPageID = ' . $this->ID);
		$testimonials->groupBy('Type'); 
		
		return $testimonials;	
	}
}

BigTestimonials.php

<?php
class BigTestimonials extends DataObject{
	static $db = array(
		'PersonsName' => 'Text',
		'Testimonial' => 'HTMLText',
		'Type' => 'Varchar(250)'
	);

	static $has_one = array(
		'TestimonialPage' => 'TestimonialPage'
	);
	
	public function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = new FieldList(new TabSet('Root'));
         
		//General info
		$Types = array(
			'Parent' => 'Parent',
			'School and Tutors' => 'School and Tutors',
			'Adult' => 'Adult'
		);
		$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Info", new DropdownField('Type', 'Select the testimonial type', $Types));
		$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Info", new TextField('PersonsName', 'Persons name'));
		$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Info", new HTMLEditorField("Testimonial", "Enter the testimonial"));
         
        return $fields;
	}
}

TestimonialPage.ss

<div id="contentHolder">
	<% include SideBar %>
	
	<div id="content" class="typography">
		$Content
		
		<% if BigTestimonials %>
			<% loop BigTestimonials.GroupedBy(Type) %>
				Type
				<div class="testimonialScrollWrap">
					<h3>$Type Testimonials</h3>
					<div class="testimonialGroupWrap">
						<% loop Children %>
							<div class="eachtestimonial <% if Last %>last<% end_if %>">
								<h5>$PersonsName</h5>
								$Testimonial
							</div>
						<% end_loop%>
					</div>
				</div>
				<hr />
			<% end_loop %>
		<% end_if %>
	</div>
</div>

Any help would be appreciated.

In v3 you need to explicitly create a Grouped List. See: http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/howto/grouping-dataobjectsets

Something like this:

class TestimonialPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

   public function getTestimonials(){
      $list = BigTestimonials::get()->filter(array('TestimonialPageID' => $this->ID));
      return GroupedList::create($list);
   } 	
}

      <% if $BigTestimonials %>
         <% loop $Testimonials.GroupedBy(Type) %>
            ...

Thats perfect, Thank you.

Was not expecting to just drop that in and have it instantly work.

Again, Thank you.
