silverstripe-flexilink
======================

[](#silverstripe-flexilink)

Link to SiteTree Pages, External URLs, YouTube Videos, &c. from a single, flexible SilverStripe field.

Requirements

See [silverstripe-flexichoice](https://github.com/briceburg/silverstripe-flexichoice/) for a similar text input field.

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

- Add `FlexiLink` field types to your `DataObject`(s)

```
class BlockContentHeading extends DataObject {
  private static $db = array(
    'Title'     => 'Varchar',
    'Content'   => 'Text',
    'Link'      => 'FlexiLink',   //  'FlexiChoice',
  );

```

Trigger the environment builder (/dev/build) after extending objects -- You will now see the `FlexiLinkField` appear in the CMS when editing your object.

- `FlexiLink` provides the following public template methods
    - **Type** : The type of link (e.g. 'ExternalURL','Page','YouTubeID')
    - **Value** : The raw value of the link
    - **URL** : The link transformed into a URL (E.g. Page->Link(), '', '//[www.youtube.com/embed/\[Value\]](http://www.youtube.com/embed/[Value])')

```

  $Title
  $Content

      WATCH MOVIE

      $LinkText

```

- You may define link selection types and their related fields in [YAML Configuration](http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/configuration). Here's an example **/mysite/config/\_config.yml**

```
---
Name: mysite
After:
  - 'framework/*'
  - 'cms/*'
---
# YAML configuration for SilverStripe
# See http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/configuration
# Caution: Indentation through two spaces, not tabs
SSViewer:
  theme: 'site'

FlexiLinkField:
  allowed_types:
    - Page
    - Google

  field_types:
    Google:
      field: TextField
      description: TestTest
```

This example adds a custom 'Google' field type, and limits the dropdown selection to 'Page' and 'Google' (hides the built-in YouTubeID and ExternalURL).

**Remember**, *?flush=all* after YML configuration changes to register them in the manifest.
