This module is best used when the goal is to create an element which acts as a holder for some content "blocks". These blocks might for example be cards, images in a gallery or slides in a carousel. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - SilverStripe: `^6` - Silverstripe elemental: `^6` Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require syntro/silverstripe-elemental-baseitem ``` License ------- [](#license) See [License](license.md) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) First, simply extend the base item: ``` use Syntro\SilverStripeElementalBaseitem\Model\BaseItem; class Teaser extends BaseItem { private static $displays_title_in_template = true; private static $db = [ // Whatever you need for the item to render ]; private static $has_one = [ 'Section' => TeaserCardsBlock::class, ]; } ``` By default, the baseItem has a `Title` and a `ShowTitle` field, similar to the BaseElement in elemental. They will also use the title composite field from the silverstripe-elemental module. This behaviour can be disabled by setting `displays_title_in_template` to false in yaml config or directly in the class. Then, add the relation to the desired element and configure the gridfield: ``` use DNADesign\Elemental\Models\BaseElement; use Syntro\SilverStripeElementalBaseitem\Forms\GridFieldConfig_ElementalChildren; class TeaserCardsBlock extends BaseElement { private static $has_many = [ 'Teasers' => Teaser::class ]; /** * @return FieldList */ public function getCMSFields() { $this->beforeUpdateCMSFields(function ($fields) { if ($this->ID) { /** @var GridField $griditems */ $griditems = $fields->fieldByName('Root.Teasers.Teasers'); $griditems->setConfig(GridFieldConfig_ElementalChildren::create()); } }); return parent::getCMSFields(); } } ``` Maintainers ----------- [](#maintainers) - Matthias Leutenegger Bugtracker ---------- [](#bugtracker) Bugs are tracked in the [issues section](https://github.com/syntro-opensource/silverstripe-elemental-baseitem/issues) of this repository.
