README

This module provides two GridField components that aid in managing relationships within SilverStripe. The GridFieldHasOneRelationHandler component allows a SS_List to be used to select the value of a has_one relation and the GridFieldManyRelationHandler component manages a RelationList.

Installation

If the version of SilverStripe you are running is earlier than 3.0.3, first apply this patch to GridFieldPaginator.

Download this module and extract it into your site's root folder. Flush your site's manifest by visiting http://yoursite.com/?flush=1. These components are now ready for use.

GridFieldHasOneRelationHandler

The GridFieldHasOneRelationHandler component provides radio buttons for selecting the object that the has_one points to. Its constructor takes the object the relation exists on, the name of the relation and an optional target fragment which describes the position of the save relation button.

Example

:::php
$config->addComponent(new GridFieldHasOneRelationHandler($this, 'MainImage'));

GridFieldManyRelationHandler

The GridFieldManyRelationHandler component provides check boxes for selecting the objects that a has_many or many_many point to. Its constructor takes an optional target fragment which describes the position of the save relation button.

If your GridField also has a GridFieldPaginator component, this component must be inserted before it for the pagination to work properly.

Example

:::php
// The second argument here ensures that this component is placed before any GridFieldPaginator
$config->addComponent(new GridFieldManyRelationHandler(), 'GridFieldPaginator');
