Tables

Any idea how I can lock a column width
I set up a table 1 row + 2 columns
When I insert text into the first column it fill the entire area by forcing column two over to the hard right
ie it doesnt wrap-around
I selected Alignment - Centre but that does not solve my problem

Hi Mariakara,

Can you check the permissions on your"/assets" folder? you may no longer be able to write files into this folder or its child folders (E.g. Uploads).

Try the following link for more info https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3.2/developer_guides/templates/how_tos/pagination/
It has a good example which shows how to control the Pagination controls

<% if $PaginatedPages.MoreThanOnePage %>
<% if $PaginatedPages.NotFirstPage %>
<a class="prev" href="$PaginatedPages.PrevLink">Prev</a>
<% end_if %>
<% loop $PaginatedPages.Pages %>
<% if $CurrentBool %>
$PageNum
<% else %>
<% if $Link %>
<a href="$Link">$PageNum</a>
<% else %>
...
<% end_if %>
<% end_if %>
<% end_loop %>
<% if $PaginatedPages.NotLastPage %>
<a class="next" href="$PaginatedPages.NextLink">Next</a>

Pyro,

Thank you. That helped me solve the issue. I did exactly as you said and the form is working fine now ("setting the from parameter in the email to the submitted form field value"). I appreciate the help. Next time, I'll consider using the UserForms Module.

Just so you know, i was using "Silverstripe Contact Form Module", as maintained by Uncle Cheese...http://addons.silverstripe.org/add-ons/silverstripe/contact-form.

Contact form module?
Could you post a link? It's not an 'official' one, and many developers approach these simple tasks in various ways.

It sounds like it's far more complex than it needs to be. Often for a simple contact form a good solution is simply UserForms module.
In any case, using a defined static constant is not what you want to be doing if you're trying to send from the submitter's supplied address.
It's simply a case of setting the from parameter in the email to the submitted form field value.

Beyond that it's eceedingly simple to create a small form to use without needing a whole module. I would suggest perhaps looking at the tutorials (docs.silverstripe.org) to learn more.

Hello,

i am attempting to have the contact form module dynamically use the submitter's e-mail address in the "From" field when the e-mail is sent from the website. The code block i am including below mentions to define MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS in the mysite/_config.php file, but i am unsure how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you.

//You can define MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS in mysite/_config.php
$sender = null;
if(defined('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS')) $sender = MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS;
$email = Email::create($sender, $emailTo, $emailSubject, $html);
if($replyTo) {
$email->replyTo($replyTo);
}

Hi Roshan,

Without Error Handling (http://doc.silverstripe.org/en/developer_guides/debugging/error_handling), you will need to rely on your PHP logs.

The log files that you are going to be looking for to start with will be the error_log and the access_log that are generated by Apache.
If you are running unix, they will be in /var/log/apache2 or /var/log/httpd.

Hi there, my website line7.co.nz had problems loading images couple weeks ago. images went missing on the uploaded folder on the CMS and did a restore from the hosting provider and still couldn't find them on the uploads folder.

is there a way i could see what went wrong from the CMS log ? does the CMS maintain a log for all user modifications ?

Yes I've done a long Google search on the topic. This device - Sharp Fontwriter 750 - allowed you to create word processing files (.wp) and spread sheet files (.ss). There is a conversion utility out there for converting the .wp files - but nothing for the .ss files. I've come to a blank on that one.

Did you try google?
Because fontwriter files are apparently .fw from what I saw.

http://semiprime.com/fontwriter/ might have what you want - but you might have to use the wayback machine as it just times out for me.

.ss could be many things:

SilverStripe template file (plain text)
Scheme programming language source file (plain text)
dnaLIMS fragment analysis in Bioinformatic Tools for DNA Research
Bitmap graphics (Splash)
Windows 95 screensaver
A Sam Spade script, a free integrated network query tool for Windows 95, 98, NT and Windows 2000 used to track down spam
XShipWars sound scheme file
Protein data used by program called Ribbons (and other biochemistry applications)
Snappy Configuration File
Oberlin DRAGN Graph Algorithm
FileViewPro

I suggest opening with some kind of inspector to see if you can decipher the header to get more info. Some kind of hex editor should allow this.
You'll need to know what you're doing though.

Re: Fatal error: 'continue' operator with non-constant operand is no longer supported

Wed, 11 Feb 2015 01:39:32 +1300

This is not really the right section for this question , so I guess that's why we overlooked it...

I suppose you are on SilverStripe 2.4? That version doesn't really support PHP 5.4 or higher, so in that case the best thing would be to downgrade to PHP 5.3 (and flush your cache).

Edit: I found the forum post you mention, I think... Note: you dindn't just copy that, with the plusses and all? Stupid question, i know, but just to make sure? :)

Fatal error: 'continue' operator with non-constant operand is no longer supported

Sun, 08 Feb 2015 12:04:00 +1300

I am duplicating an existing website done in SilverStripe to be used on another domain (edited content as required).

When uploading the files which currently work on one domain, I get this error:

Fatal error: 'continue' operator with non-constant operand is no longer supported in /var/www/vhosts/getfit.school.nz/httpdocs/home/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 201

I found one forum that said to split the code across two lines to look like this

// locate and include the exclude files
$topLevel = scandir($baseDir);
foreach($topLevel as $file) {
- if($file[0] == '.') continue
+ if($file[0] == '.') {
+ continue;
+ }

$fullPath = '';
$fullPath = $baseDir . '/' . $file;

However that did not work...... any solutions?

We have a big "Feedback" button attached to the bottom of the page, otherwise there is a "Get in touch" link in the footer. If you don't see the Feedback link then maybe it's blocked with ad blocker or something similar as it is a third party service.

Hi, there is currently a bug with RSS feeds which we are hoping to release a fix for tomorrow so bare with us. The ability to get notifications for a post shouldn't have changed from the old experience (you have the option to subscribe to threads once you respond) but the RSS feed has always been hidden from the interface (I don't know why that is - I hope to see if RSS needs to be visible on the front-end). As this launch was an initial basic upgrade of the site without additional features we hope to see more improvements in the near future.

The whole experience is not that different from the old experience but the visual appearance of the forum has changed. We gathered quite a lot of feedback from the community in regards to how the old site appeared and the consensus was that it didn't connect to the software or reflect the community it should represent (CMS authors, developers, web companies, designers, businesses using SilverStripe... ).

The two main reasons for change was that the old site was unmaintainable without doing a complete upgrade and that the user experience (navigating and the content) was bad and needed improving for a larger user base than just developers.

FYI - the feedback button at the bottom is the best place to give recommendations/feedback, and feel free to keep using the forum to gather opinions of others.

Cheers

Why ?

2/ For me, the new forum and blog are too slows, and less readable (for me)...

Great new site setup, congratulations!! Obviously there will always be some small things to tweak :)

One such would be the admin options on the forums, that are placed very close together. On touch devices (iPad in my case), it's a bit of a gamble which link you'll hit, which might have unwanted sideeffects :)

Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:19:45 +1200

Thanks for your input. I agree we can do better with the color contrast so I've added this as a bug.

With regards to some of the positioning of information, we are now having to deal with smaller form factors so we wanted to find layouts which are more consistent across devices without impacting the usability. With the old forum we were duplicating user details for each post so this was cleaned up a bit and we decided to simplify info into the one place. In the end it came down to simplicity of the structure but we did consider leaving user details on the right side and only appearing between posts for smaller screens. Moving the user details to the right should be an easy enough for just larger screens so I'll add this as a recommendation.

No need to do a poll atm as there are loads of improvements and feedback that didn't make the go live day which we hope to get to in the future.

New forum look and feel (not dev friendly :( )

Sat, 20 Sep 2014 03:33:23 +1200

Hi all,

I'm really disappointed in a new SS forum design - it bacame pretty much hard to read :(

1. Firstly - list of topics and colors of fonts - absolutely non readable !
if you try to go through from top to bottom - you'll see that most readable lines are user nicknames in red , which takes all of the attention .
Font color is fine for another Bootrap 4 pages site, but not enough contrast for a proper forum reading.
Suggestion - move date of creation with nickname to separate column, topics should be one under other, and probably use darker font.

2.Inside the topic - again, the max ammount of posts that fints the screen at a time (im on a full HD) - 2-3 posts. theres pleanty of room on the right side which is just wasted in white... Basically you can't track answers easily, and always have to skip author info and their images (which is NOT smth that is essential on forum).
Suggestion - again, keep author info in separate column, compact messages a bit, so that answers are one under another.

I understand you wanted the forum to look neat and accurate, but for developer important thing is getting required information fast . Old forum was way much better in a way of formatting. Any developer who sees this topic - please say your opinion, Im I right or not ? :) Or SS guys - just do a Poll and see results. :)

Cheers.

Re: Adding payment to registration.

Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:29:20 +1200

PayPal has some decent and very well document steps to do this here:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/

However, I can say that you would need to create a account on Paypal, then you would find a "My Buttons" editor somewhere on the account page. This allows you to create and edit buttons to use for different kinds of payments.

PayPal has various ways of making payments, two of the main being:
1. Using a hosted button on PayPal, in which case you basically only tell Paypal API which button to use
2. Use a custom button, which will send information to PayPal.

Using 1. Would for instance have a static stored amount on PayPal and cannot change. If you are advertising rent which would not change. Using 2. would allow you to specify an amount and send it to Paypal, but is more prone to interception and manipulation from third parties. You can however overcome that by verifing the amount paid by using a redirect link on the PayPal button, so that after paying it would re-post information to your site about the payment made.

Once you created the button on PayPal, you are able to copy the form and button html code to paste into your site, which will post the data to paypal.

One more note, you can use developer.paypal.com to make testing accounts and spend money like craaaaaaazy!! Though I never got those shoes delivered that I ordered...

Hope that helps!

Re: Custom pagetype template issue

Sat, 06 Sep 2014 02:14:55 +1200

Hi,

Every template needs a corresponding *.php file.

i.e. You want to create a page that shows Products

class PageProduct extends Page{
}

class PageProduct_Controller extends Page_Controller{

}

Then you need to create a corresponding template file called PageProduct.ss.

Same thing with inheritance. You can create children for a page by creating a function, adding it to the allowed actions and creating a *.ss file with the name PageProduct_functionName.ss. As soon as you redirect to that function it will call that child page.

Furthermore, you should only flush=all to clear cached images. Any time you add, or include a template, and only then, do you have to flush ON THAT PAGE (important) by doing /url/products?flush or /url/viewProduct?flush (the 1 is no longer required).

One more thing to note, it is very important that you put all the template (.ss) files in the layout folder. The way Silverstripe is built, it always loads the Page.ss from themes, and where the $Layout is called in that page, it will look for a corresponding *.ss file in the layout folder. So if PageProduct was loaded, it will load Page.ss and include PageProduct.ss in the $Layout variable.

Hope that helps!

You can create the database before installation of your website, and add the db_name to the site installation, or you can change the database later on by editing the config details (config.php):

i.e. database = mydatabase

$databaseConfig = array(
   "type" => 'MySQLDatabase',
   "server" => 'server domain', //localhost if on own computer
   "username" => 'myusername',
   "password" => 'mypassword',
   "database" => 'mydatabase',
   "path" => ''
);

Furthermore, Silverstripe has full ORM functionality, so you never have to worry about the database after that. If for example you wanted to add fields to the database, you do it using php code in the silverstripe object.php file.

You want to add a Company Type to a company object

<?php

class Company extends DataObject{
private static $db = array(
"Type"=>"Varchar(100)"
}
}

Compiling it using url/dev/build will create the extra field in the object on its own.

Here is a full guide:

Re: Custom pagetype template issue

Mon, 09 Dec 2013 02:11:37 +1300

Note that that isn't an official SilverStripe tutorial despite the logo. This tutorial doesn't support version 3.1, and the template should really use <% loop %> in stead of <% control %>. The official SilverStripe tutorials are here: http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/ (look at 5 for relation management)

After changing templates, you should just ?flush=1, never mind the dev/build, that is for updating the DataBase and in the newest versions of SilverStripe doesn't seem to flush the template cache anymore (if I'm correct, not toally shure about that)

Beside that: hard to tell what goes wrong, based on your information alone... Check for version and typo's/omissions in code and filenames I'd suggest :)

Greatful for SS 3.1

Wed, 29 May 2013 23:36:53 +1200

I juist build a new website in Silverstripe 3, but after trying to run it on a commercial web host instead of my MacBook, the speed made me cry... And I often got a message like service disconnected from the shared hosting account (ultimate from Godaddy). This of course made me run some tests on the MacBook, which opened my eyes a bit: SS3 has really thousands upon thousands of requests to build the pages. It was clear that running the current site would not cut it. Luckily I read just in time that most problems should be solved in SS 3.1 in a post by Ingo Schommer.

As the site should be usable immediately, I had avoided the beta version before. The speed issue however made me change my mind. The upgrade was quite painless. I had to change all public statics such as $db to private statics, upgrade some modules that had 3.1 versions (and rewrite some too), change <% control in the templates and after about 2 hours all was set. Amazing. 70 per cent faster! It truly made my day.

The website by the way, now transferring to its final server and I will probably discover some glitches in the coming days, is www.energieprojecten.nl .

By the way, having recently bought a Windows RT device, I am also very happy with the backend. It works like a charm in both touch mode as well as with the keyboard of my Lenovo Yoga 11.

Keep up the good work folks!

Hi Silverstripers

I have developed a new hosting/cms platform using Silverstripe and Amazon S3 to enable anyone to instantly create and host a Silverstripe website. The service is called Silversites.

Currently I have released only the core features but I have lots more planned. Before I go ahead and develop all of these features I need to get some feedback from the community and potential users.

Please take a look at Silversites by going to http://silversites.co and get in touch here or on the website. All suggestions and comments are welcome.

Hi,

Sorry for not replying to your question sooner. I did take a look at the website you refer to but unfortunately I only speak about six words of Italien, and I don't know about the other moderators/members of these forums nor the SilverStripe core developers.

So It's not really clear, at least to me, what data you wish to collect and how, what the Web Framework Point stands for and how or if it would benefit SilverStripe or otherwise be of interest to its developers/users now or in the long run. Maybe you could elaborate a bit more?

All the information about such research project are available at the following link http://narciso.dibe.unige.it:8080/opencms/opencms/software-metrics/ and the tool will be available in the coming weeks.
Moreover our study group is available to provide further information at the following e-mail address: progettometrichesoft@hotmail.it.
We would like to inform you that the data collected will be used only for scientific purposes.
Kind regards
Erika Corona
Daniele Grechi

I have a related issue. I was able to get Uplodify working with executable files but they won't show up in the CMS folders. That makes linking to them a little difficult for some of my users. Is there a way that SS will show .exe and .msi files in the file tree?

I'm with you in case of security implementations.
When checking /Security/... links you can identify SS sites often how the forms are generated, I was meaning that.

I don't think /Security/ links are a reliable indicator of a SS-based website because any other framework could be using the same URL segments.

You can remove the generator meta tag if you like, I believe it's overridden in _config.php. Do a search for it on this forum - there's a thread of mine about it that got an answer from Willr.

I don't think revealing which CMS you're using is a problem. Many hugely popular sites are known to run on Wordpress and it's not a security issue. Sure, any hacker could go check out the source code and look for vulnerabilities, but it all really comes down to how well you've locked down your server and implemented security measures in your application.

so they only accept sites with the "generator" meta tag :-)
I think they should check som /Security/* links

It's good practice to hide the used CMS.

There is a meta tag in the head part of your website's source code that identifies SS.

If you have a website profiler installed, you can pull a lot of useful information about what a website's running on. See the attached screenshot of a profiler I ran on my client's site in Chrome. It can be pretty interesting going around looking into what others are using. =D

I understand that new submissions to the showcase first must be verified ...
I sent in 2 URLs but only 1 was accepted. Both are SS sites.

How do you check if a site is made with SS?

What Sphere says is very accurate - but I understand that this is very strange - if you have an assignment I am guessing that create a database means creates a database with tables and data in SQL.

Silverstripe is the first time that I've not had to use SQL to create a basic database structure and manage the data (although within my code there is direct SQL).

Hope this helps!
