class Member extends DataObject implements TemplateGlobalProvider

The member class which represents the users of the system

Constants

CHANGE_NONE

Represents a field that hasn't changed (before === after, thus before == after)

CHANGE_STRICT

Represents a field that has changed type, although not the loosely defined value.

(before !== after && before == after) E.g. change 1 to true or "true" to true, but not true to 0. Value changes are by nature also considered strict changes.

CHANGE_VALUE

Represents a field that has changed the loosely defined value (before != after, thus, before !== after)) E.g. change false to true, but not false to 0

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();

Return Value

SS_Object

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).

Return Value

SS_Object The singleton instance

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.

Parameters

$classSpec
$firstArg

in SS_Object at line 215
static parse_class_spec($classSpec)

Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().

Returns a 2-elemnent array, with classname and arguments

Parameters

$classSpec

in SS_Object at line 341

Return Value

SS_Object

in SS_Object at line 361
static useCustomClass(string $oldClass, string $newClass, bool $strong = false)

This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method {@link Object::create()}

Parameters

string $oldClass the class to replace
string $newClass the class to replace it with
bool $strong allows you to enforce a certain class replacement under all circumstances. This is used in singletons and DB interaction classes

in SS_Object at line 375
static string getCustomClass(string $class)

If a class has been overloaded, get the class name it has been overloaded with - otherwise return the class name

Parameters

string $class the class to check

Return Value

string the class that would be created if you called {@link Object::create()} with the class

in SS_Object at line 396
static any static_lookup($class, $name, null $default = null)

Parameters

$class
  • The class to get the static from
$name
  • The property to get from the class
null $default

static has_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $requiredExtension = null, boolean $strict = false)

Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.

This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))

Parameters

string $classOrExtension if 1 argument supplied, the class name of the extension to check for; if 2 supplied, the class name to test
string $requiredExtension used only if 2 arguments supplied
boolean $strict if the extension has to match the required extension and not be a subclass

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()}).

Parameters

string $classOrExtension Class that should be extended - has to be a subclass of {@link Object}
string $extension Subclass of {@link Extension} with optional parameters as a string, e.g. "Versioned" or "Translatable('Param')"

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.

Parameters

string $extension Classname of an {@link Extension} subclass, without parameters

in SS_Object at line 633
static array get_extensions(string $class, bool $includeArgumentString = false)

Parameters

in SS_Object at line 1058
array extend(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)

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()}.

Parameters

string $method the name of the method to call on each extension
mixed $a1
mixed $a2
mixed $a3
mixed $a4
mixed $a5
mixed $a6
mixed $a7

Return Value

array

in SS_Object at line 1097

Return Value

Extension

in SS_Object at line 1115
bool hasExtension(string $extension)

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.

Caution: Don't use singleton()->hasExtension() as it will give you inconsistent results based on when the singleton was first accessed.

Parameters

string $extension Classname of an {@link Extension} subclass without parameters

Return Value

bool

in SS_Object at line 1126
array getExtensionInstances()

getObsoleteClassName()

in DataObject at line 619
getClassName()

in DataObject at line 635
DataObject setClassName(string $className)

Set the ClassName attribute. {@link $class} is also updated.

Warning: This will produce an inconsistent record, as the object instance will not automatically switch to the new subclass. Please use {@link newClassInstance()} for this purpose, or destroy and reinstanciate the record.

Parameters

string $className The new ClassName attribute (a subclass of {@link DataObject})

Return Value

DataObject $this

in DataObject at line 660
DataObject newClassInstance(string $newClassName)

Create a new instance of a different class from this object's record.

This is useful when dynamically changing the type of an instance. Specifically, it ensures that the instance of the class is a match for the className of the record. Don't set the {@link DataObject->class} or {@link DataObject->ClassName} property manually before calling this method, as it will confuse change detection.

If the new class is different to the original class, defaults are populated again because this will only occur automatically on instantiation of a DataObject if there is no record, or the record has no ID. In this case, we do have an ID but we still need to repopulate the defaults.

Parameters

string $newClassName The name of the new class

Return Value

DataObject The new instance of the new class, The exact type will be of the class name provided.

in DataObject at line 743

DataObject data()

Returns the associated database record - in this case, the object itself.

This is included so that you can call $dataOrController->data() and get a DataObject all the time.

Return Value

DataObject Associated database record

in DataObject at line 863
array toMap()

Convert this object to a map.

Return Value

array The data as a map.

in DataObject at line 876
array getQueriedDatabaseFields()

Return all currently fetched database fields.

This function is similar to toMap() but doesn't trigger the lazy-loading of all unfetched fields. Obviously, this makes it a lot faster.

Return Value

array The data as a map.

in DataObject at line 892
DataObject update(array $data)

Update a number of fields on this object, given a map of the desired changes.

The field names can be simple names, or you can use a dot syntax to access $has_one relations. For example, array("Author.FirstName" => "Jim") will set $this->Author()->FirstName to "Jim".

update() doesn't write the main object, but if you use the dot syntax, it will write() the related objects that it alters.

Parameters

array $data A map of field name to data values to update.

Return Value

DataObject $this

in DataObject at line 949
DataObject castedUpdate(array $data)

Pass changes as a map, and try to get automatic casting for these fields.

Doesn't write to the database. To write the data, use the write() method.

Parameters

array $data A map of field name to data values to update.

Return Value

DataObject $this

in DataObject at line 977
Boolean merge($rightObj, $priority = 'right', $includeRelations = true, $overwriteWithEmpty = false)

Merges data and relations from another object of same class, without conflict resolution. Allows to specify which dataset takes priority in case its not empty.

has_one-relations are just transferred with priority 'right'. has_many and many_many-relations are added regardless of priority.

Caution: has_many/many_many relations are moved rather than duplicated, meaning they are not connected to the merged object any longer. Caution: Just saves updated has_many/many_many relations to the database, doesn't write the updated object itself (just writes the object-properties). Caution: Does not delete the merged object. Caution: Does now overwrite Created date on the original object.

Parameters

$rightObj
$priority
$includeRelations
$overwriteWithEmpty

Return Value

Boolean

in DataObject at line 1054

at line 265
static Member default_admin()

Get the default admin record if it exists, or creates it otherwise if enabled

Return Value

Member

deprecated 4.0 Use the "Member.login_marker_cookie" config setting instead

If this is called, then a session cookie will be set to "1" whenever a user logs in. This lets 3rd party tools, such as apache's mod_rewrite, detect whether a user is logged in or not and alter behaviour accordingly.

One known use of this is to bypass static caching for logged in users. This is done by putting this into _config.php

Member::set_login_marker_cookie("SS_LOGGED_IN");

And then adding this condition to each of the rewrite rules that make use of the static cache.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !SS_LOGGED_IN=1

Parameters

$cookieName string The name of the cookie to set.
