Extension Overview
==================

[](#extension-overview)

DataListExtension
-----------------

[](#datalistextension)

- Adds a new *ListColumn* function to a DataList to allow implode() style functionality of the list items
    e.g. `$list->ListColumn('ID', ' |')` would result in something like "1 |18 |19 |24".
- Automatically applied

ExtraPageFieldsExtension
------------------------

[](#extrapagefieldsextension)

- Moves the metadata fields to a new tab
- Adds a new "Meta Title" field
- Automatically applied

If you do not add the `HasOnAfterUpdateCMSFieldsExtensionPoint` trait to your base `Page` class then the extension will use an unreliable method of moving the pages. For this reason we suggest adding `use HasOnAfterUpdateCMSFieldsExtensionPoint;` to this class.

If you have a custom constructor already you will need to alias the traits constructor so you may call it.

```
class Page extends SiteTree {

    use HasOnAfterUpdateCMSFieldsExtensionPoint {
        HasOnAfterUpdateCMSFieldsExtensionPoint::__construct as __TraitConstruct;
    }

    public function __construct($record = null, $isSingleton = false, $model = null){

        $this->__TraitConstruct($record, $isSingleton, $model);

        //your custom things

        parent::__construct($record, $isSingleton, $model);
    }

}
```

Relative Assets Extension
-------------------------

[](#relative-assets-extension)

- Prefixes all references to `assets/*` with a preceeding slash i.e. they become something like `/assets/some.png`
- If [zaininnari/html-minifier](https://github.com/zaininnari/html-minifier) is installed minifies the HTML output before rendering.
- If Assets.host config is set then Assets will be prefixed with this host.

```
Assets:
  host: '//example.com/'
```

Would equal `//example.com/assets/image.png`

FooterMenuExtension
-------------------

[](#footermenuextension)

- Adds a new *ShowInFooter* option to the page settings
- Adds a new `FooterPages()` function to the SiteTree to return only pages that have this checked

ImageExtension
--------------

[](#imageextension)

- Adds a new *Image Alt Text* option to the image settings
- Makes the image settings fields full width
- Automatically applied

LinkExtension
-------------

[](#linkextension)

- Adds a new *SEO Text* option to the link settings
- Adds a *force download* checkbox to the link if it's set to a file.
- Automatically applied

Template Providers Overview
===========================

[](#template-providers-overview)

HelpersTemplateProvider
-----------------------

[](#helperstemplateprovider)

- Adds a new `Repeat($times)` function to the templates to return a loopable list (kind of like a for loop)
- Adds a new `Dump($obj)` function to the templates to allow easy dumping of any template variable

Extendable Classes Overview
===========================

[](#extendable-classes-overview)

OwnerPermissionedDataObject
---------------------------

[](#ownerpermissioneddataobject)

- Allows data objects to inherit the access permissions from their attached relation parent
- Relation parent defaults to `Page()`
- If `static::$relationOwner` is set to `null` will fall back to asking the standard `Page` for permission
