Upon clicking the button below will redirect the user to doAction under the current controller.
new FormAction (
// doAction has to be a defined controller member
$action = "doAction",
$title = "Submit button"
)
Properties
| string | $class | from SS_Object | |

| boolean | $useButtonTag | Enables the use of <button> instead of <input>
in {@link Field()} - for more customizeable styling. |
Methods
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
Create an object from a string representation. It treats it as a PHP constructor without the 'new' keyword. It also manages to construct the object without the use of eval().
Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().
Similar to {@link Object::create()}, except that classes are only overloaded if you set the $strong parameter to TRUE when using {@link Object::useCustomClass()}
This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method {@link Object::create()}
If a class has been overloaded, get the class name it has been overloaded with - otherwise return the class name
Get the value of a static property of a class, even in that property is declared protected (but not private), without any inheritance, merging or parent lookup if it doesn't exist on the given class.
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
Add an extension to a specific class.
No description
Attemps to locate and call a method dynamically added to a class at runtime if a default cannot be located
Return the names of all the methods available on this object
Check if this class is an instance of a specific class, or has that class as one of its parents
Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied {@link Extensions}, and then attempts to merge all results into an array
Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in {@link $extension_instances}. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use {@link add_extension()} afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method {@link has_extension()} to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
Cache the results of an instance method in this object to a file, or if it is already cache return the cached results
Clears the cache for the given cacheToFile call
Converts a field spec into an object creator. For example: "Int" becomes "new Int($fieldName);" and "Varchar(50)" becomes "new Varchar($fieldName, 50);".
Convert a field schema (e.g. "Varchar(50)") into a casting object creator array that contains both a className and castingHelper constructor code. See {@link castingObjectCreator} for more information about the constructor.
Check if a field exists on this object or its failover.
Get the value of a property/field on this object. This will check if a method called get{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using {@link ViewableData::getField()}, then fall back on a failover object.
Set a property/field on this object. This will check for the existence of a method called set{$property}, then use the {@link ViewableData::setField()} method.
Set a failover object to attempt to get data from if it is not present on this object.
Check if a field exists on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
Get the value of a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
Set a field on this object. This should be overloaded in child classes.
Add methods from the {@link ViewableData::$failover} object, as well as wrapping any methods prefixed with an underscore into a {@link ViewableData::cachedCall()}.
Method to facilitate deprecation of underscore-prefixed methods automatically being cached.
Merge some arbitrary data in with this object. This method returns a {@link ViewableData_Customised} instance with references to both this and the new custom data.
Get the class a field on this object would be casted to, as well as the casting helper for casting a field to an object (see {@link ViewableData::castingHelper()} for information on casting helpers).
Return the "casting helper" (a piece of PHP code that when evaluated creates a casted value object) for a field on this object.
Get the class name a field on this object will be casted to
Return the string-format type for the given field.
Save the casting cache for this object (including data from any failovers) into a variable
Render this object into the template, and get the result as a string. You can pass one of the following as the $template parameter: - a template name (e.g. Page) - an array of possible template names - the first valid one will be used - an SSViewer instance
Get the value of a field on this object, automatically inserting the value into any available casting objects that have been specified.
A simple wrapper around {@link ViewableData::obj()} that automatically caches the result so it can be used again without re-running the method.
Checks if a given method/field has a valid value. If the result is an object, this will return the result of the exists method, otherwise will check if the result is not just an empty paragraph tag.
Get the string value of a field on this object that has been suitable escaped to be inserted directly into a template.
Return the value of the field without any escaping being applied.
Return the value of a field in an SQL-safe format.
Return the value of a field in a JavaScript-save format.
Return the value of a field escaped suitable to be inserted into an XML node attribute.
Return a single-item iterator so you can iterate over the fields of a single record.
When rendering some objects it is necessary to iterate over the object being rendered, to do this, you need access to itself.
Return the directory if the current active theme (relative to the site root).
Get part of the current classes ancestry to be used as a CSS class.
Return debug information about this object that can be rendered into a template
Get a array of allowed actions defined on this controller, any parent classes or extensions.
Checks if this request handler has a specific action, even if the current user cannot access it.
Check that the given action is allowed to be called from a URL.
Throws a HTTP error response encased in a {@link SS_HTTPResponse_Exception}, which is later caught in {@link RequestHandler::handleAction()} and returned to the user.
Returns the SS_HTTPRequest object that this controller is using.
Typically the request is set through {@link handleAction()} or {@link handleRequest()}, but in some based we want to set it manually.
Takes a field name and converts camelcase to spaced words. Also resolves combined field names with dot syntax to spaced words.
Construct and return HTML tag.
Returns the current {@link FormTemplateHelper} on either the parent Form or the global helper set through the {@link Injector} layout.

static SS_Object
create()
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
This method first for strong class overloads (singletons & DB interaction), then custom class overloads. If an overload is found, an instance of this is returned rather than the original class. To overload a class, use {@link Object::useCustomClass()}
This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create('SiteTree'); $list = SiteTree::get();
in SS_Object at line 155
static SS_Object
singleton()
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).
in SS_Object at line 190
static
create_from_string($classSpec, $firstArg = null)
Create an object from a string representation. It treats it as a PHP constructor without the 'new' keyword. It also manages to construct the object without the use of eval().
Construction itself is done with Object::create(), so that Object::useCustomClass() calls are respected.
Object::create_from_string("Versioned('Stage','Live')") will return the result of
Versioned::create('Stage', 'Live);
It is designed for simple, clonable objects. The first time this method is called for a given string it is cached, and clones of that object are returned.
If you pass the $firstArg argument, this will be prepended to the constructor arguments. It's impossible to pass null as the firstArg argument.
Object::create_from_string("Varchar(50)", "MyField") will return the result of
Vachar::create('MyField', '50');
Arguments are always strings, although this is a quirk of the current implementation rather than something that can be relied upon.

parse_class_spec($classSpec)

in SS_Object at line 536
static
add_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $extension = null)
Add an extension to a specific class.
The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.
As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the {@link Object::$extensions} array. See {@link SiteTree::$extensions} for examples. Keep in mind that the extension will only be applied to new instances, not existing ones (including all instances created through {@link singleton()}).
in SS_Object at line 594
static
remove_extension(string $extension)
Remove an extension from a class.
Keep in mind that this won't revert any datamodel additions of the extension at runtime, unless its used before the schema building kicks in (in your _config.php). Doesn't remove the extension from any {@link Object} instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through {@link singleton()} to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed
Currently returns an array, with an index resulting every time the function is called. Only adds returns if they're not NULL, to avoid bogus results from methods just defined on the parent extension. This is important for permission-checks through extend, as they use min() to determine if any of the returns is FALSE. As min() doesn't do type checking, an included NULL return would fail the permission checks.
The extension methods are defined during {@link __construct()} in {@link defineMethods()}.

Handles URL requests.
- ViewableData::handleRequest() iterates through each rule in {@link self::$url_handlers}.

- If there is still more URL to be processed, then handleRequest() is called on the object that that method returns.
Once all of the URL has been processed, the final result is returned. However, if the final result is an array, this array is interpreted as being additional template data to customise the 2nd to last result with, rather than an object in its own right. This is most frequently used when a Controller's action will return an array of data with which to customise the controller.

setAttribute(string $name, string $value)
Set an HTML attribute on the field element, mostly an input tag.
Some attributes are best set through more specialized methods, to avoid interfering with built-in behaviour:
- 'class': {@link addExtraClass()}
- 'title': {@link setDescription()}
- 'value': {@link setValue}
- 'name': {@link setName}
Caution: this doesn't work on most fields which are composed of more than one HTML form field.

getAttribute($name)
Get an HTML attribute defined by the field, or added through {@link setAttribute()}.
Caution: this doesn't work on all fields, see {@link setAttribute()}.

bool
isComposite()
Returns true if this field is a composite field.
To create composite field types, you should subclass {@link CompositeField}.
in FormField at line 987
bool
hasData()
Returns true if this field has its own data.
Some fields, such as titles and composite fields, don't actually have any data. It doesn't make sense for data-focused methods to look at them. By overloading hasData() to return false, you can prevent any data-focused methods from looking at it.

castedCopy(mixed $classOrCopy)
Returns another instance of this field, but "cast" to a different class. The logic tries to retain all of the instance properties, and may be overloaded by subclasses to set additional ones.
Assumes the standard FormField parameter signature with its name as the only mandatory argument. Mainly geared towards creating *_Readonly or *_Disabled subclasses of the same type, or casting to a {@link ReadonlyField}.
Does not copy custom field templates, since they probably won't apply to the new instance.
