I went through the method of automatic look up here: http://www.axaptapedia.com/index.php?title=Lookups.
What I am trying to achieve is that automatic look up using the view instead of table.
Do you have any idea for that?
Maybe you did not read all the way to the bottom to see the link to SysTableLookup?

is it possible to force the children of a defined page type always to show as list?
And if yes, who? Can't figure out who to do this.
Thank you in advance
it is possible, however its pretty trick to get it working properly.
It is not only a lot of work to get it done right, it will also bring certain problems with it which you will have to overcome (eg the Preview Split Screen will not work, you will have to apply some custom javascript I think), so consider this carefully.
Have a look at the silverstripe-blogger module, micmania1 has done a pretty good job there.
He uses a GridField to display the blog children (BlogPosts) if you set the config like this:
BlogPost:
show_in_sitetree: false
you can find the module on Packagist and GitHub
All,
I'm trying to create additional fields and I've done a little research on this already and found that you should use the add_meta_box().
However, I looked at the wordpress Codex but I'm not sure where I should implement this. Here is the link to that:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box
I'm not sure which file I need to alter to add a simple text box. Can someone point me in the right direction to what file to update and what is a good way to go about doing this?
Ideally, I'd like to save this into a table. Is it better to create a custom table for this for upgrades of Wordpress? If you have any pointers on how to save the data that would be great as well!
Thanks so much for any advice you might have! I appreciate it!
You can also use this plugin.
this is easy to use.

I have to add all 86 fields from a view based query inside a grid on a form. The problem is that a form is very slow and the application freezes.
Is there any way to make it faster?
Also try to disable auto-sizing of columns:
grid.autoSizeColumns(false)
Crazy clients ask for crazy things.
My suggestion is DON'T.
As I have the advantage of working opposite you ;) my suggestion is to avoid using a Form/Grid altogether and export the data directly to Excel. Code example.
i need to create a block View with a search box attach to the header in order to search nodes for one specific content type. I don't know how to achieve this, so i ask for your help. Something like the attached photo.
I'm not exactly sure here, but it sounds to me like you want to:
Create a view;
add a "filter" which limits the view to only your desired content type;
add an "argument," and then expose this argument, for either title, body, or one of your text fields.
Unfortunately:
This alone will not search the whole node. If most of your content is in body, this would probably be a good way to do it. But, for example, if for some reason you have a title like "Bicycles in Timbuktu" with a body that does not contain the word "Timbuktu" - were your users to search for Timbuktu, this item would not appear. That said, it's probably a rather rare case, and if you are simply aiming for happy users, and not rigorous perfection, this will likely be enough.
That said, Kniganapolke's suggestion of checking out Custom Search is excellent. The advice here is more applicable if you want to do this as you've designated and using the power you have with Views (and the other possibilities they offer), rather than a more dedicated-type module. If you don't have other specifications which require you to use Views, I'd guess that Custom Search will likely be the better solution.
Have you tried Custom Search module?
If anybody is interested, i have edited the header block view and load a custom_search_block inside it.
Thanks anyway
create a view with the content you want and then filter it by content. Expose the filter.

I am trying to extend the DataGrid to allow headers for different groups of rows. However, I cannot figure out which method to extend from DataGrid that would allow me to accomplish this.
I do not want the headers to be included in the dataProvider, only the rows. I want to specify indexes to insert the headers at using a property of the custom datagrid.
Here is a quick photoshop showing what I am trying to do:
Example http://www.maclema.com/groupheaders.png
Is there any custom component already built that will do this?
If not, does anyone know how I would go about doing this?
Thanks,
Matt
