  • Custom filter field
  • Live page sizing
  • Drag-and-drop reordering
  • Bulk uploading
  • File type and size filtering
  • Upload progress bar
  • File importing

    Hi, I have a problem with this when i set the upload folder $manager->setUploadFolder(“PublicationPage-” . $this->ID); it will upload the file to this directory (i.e. assets/PublicationPage-123). However, if I then replace the file (i.e. click edit on the file data object in the table and then use the replace file functionality) it puts the new file into assets/Uploads instead. Anyway of preventing this?

      Ignore that – I should have changed the field in two places.

    bug in DOM sorting?

    My related dataobjects (or sitetree-objects) were always sorted in ASC direction. I noticed that in TableListField the getQueryMethod uses “dir” request parameter, while you use “sort_dir” as array key. I just needed to override getQueryMethod in my dom subclasses and replace “dir” with “sort_dir” and everything worked as expected.

    Thanks for your great contributions!

      DataObjectManager::allow_assets_override(false);

    Hi Aaron,
    The DOM has helped a lot on projects.
    Currently, I’m using the ImageDataObjectManager
    to manage upload images. The DataObjectManager_popup.ss is giving duplicate previews for the image object – ie. two thumbnails are showing instead of one in the popup.
    It seems that the template if statement DetailForm.NestedController (within the body tag) is inserting the preview image as well as the DetailForm placeholder below it.
    I’ve had to disable the DetailForm.NestedController statement, but do you have any other suggestions for fixes?
    I think I’m using the latest versions… Hard to tell without version numbers.
    Cheers,
    Todd

    Hi Uncle Cheese,

    I’m building my first SilverStripe site. DOM is perfect for my needs, unfortunately I have a glitch. I’ve posted on the forum:

    No answers yet. Maybe it’s just me?

    Thanks for the great work,
    J.
