Create a simple Silverstripe Module

Create a simple custom PageType that holds Addresses as DataObjects.

Three Files only

• Adress.php
• AddressPage.php
• AddressPage.ss

Lets start!

1. Custom Dataobject

Let's assume we want to have an Address Database

ToDo: Sorry this is a draft.

2. Custom Page Type

A custom Page Type can automatically be choosen in the Admin via "Add New".

namespace {

use SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree;
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridField;
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridFieldConfig_RecordEditor;


  class AddressPage extends Page
  {
 
    // Datenbankfelder
    private static $db = [
    ];
 
    private static $defaults = [
    ];

    private static $has_one = [];
 
    // This Page has multiple Address-DataObjects, accessible under the Name "Adresses"
    private static $has_many = [
      'Adresses' => 'Address'
    ];
 
    // Edit-Felder im Backend
    public function getCMSFields() {
      $fields = parent::getCMSFields(); // Alle Felder des Mutter-Pagetyps inkludieren

    // Spezielles GridField zur Admin Oberfläche hinzufügen
    $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Adressen', GridField::create(
      'Adressen',
      'Adress-DFatenbank',
      $this->Adresses(),
      GridFieldConfig_RecordEditor::create()
    ));

    return $fields;
  }
}

3. Template it

This is connected trough simple Naming Convention.
If your custom PageType is AddressPage, the Template for it has to be named AddressPage.ss

Create Template AddressPage.ss inside templates....

<div id="AddressDatabase">

<% loop Adresses %>

   $Name
   $Street
   $Country

<% end_loop%>

</div>
