Lumberjack Plus - Extras for the Silverstripe Lumberjack module
===============================================================

[](#lumberjack-plus---extras-for-the-silverstripe-lumberjack-module)

Adds a few extra features to the Lumberjack module.

Funcationality
--------------

[](#funcationality)

### 1. Ability to make the Lumberjack tab the default tab for the page

[](#1-ability-to-make-the-lumberjack-tab-the-default-tab-for-the-page)

To make the tab always first:

```
function getLumberjackTabPosition()
{
    return "first";
}
```

To make the tab appear first, unless the page is new and the GridField is empty:

```
function getLumberjackTabPosition()
{
    return "first-unless-new";
}
```

### 2. Incorporates `LumberjackSortAndSummaryExtension` from [evanshunt](https://github.com/evanshunt/lumberjack-sort-and-summary).

[](#2-incorporates-lumberjacksortandsummaryextension-from-evanshunt)

This enables `$plural_name`, `$summary_fields`, and `$default_sort` when there is jsut a single type of child page. See [docs](https://github.com/evanshunt/lumberjack-sort-and-summary).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require purplespider/lumberjack-plus
```

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

### To enable:

[](#to-enable)

Add the `LumberJackplus` extension INSTEAD of `Lumberjack`, e.g.

```
private static $extensions = [
    LumberJackplus::class,
];
```

Or, via `config.yml``:

```
ExampleSite\NewsHolder:
  extensions:
    - PurpleSpider\LumberjackPlus\LumberjackPlus
```

Or, to use for ALL Lumberjack instances in your project, use Injector in your site's `config.yml`:

```
SilverStripe\Core\Injector\Injector:
  SilverStripe\Lumberjack\Model\Lumberjack:
    class: PurpleSpider\LumberjackPlus\LumberjackPlus
```
