SilverStripe Sortable Upload Field Module

Still in development., _(*3)

Maintainer

Nathan Cox (nathan@flyingmonkey.co.nz), _(*4)

Requirements

SilverStripe 3.0+, _(*5)

Installation Instructions

1. Place the files in a directory called "sortableuploadfield" in the root of your SilverStripe installation
2. Visit yoursite.com/dev/build

Usage

By default the field will use the File's Sort attribute for sorting. You'll need to make a subclass of File or Image to give it a sort field and $default_sort:, _(*6)

class SlideshowImage extends Image {
    static $default_sort = 'Sort ASC';

    static $db = array(
        'Sort' => 'Int'
    );
    static $has_one = array(
        'Page' => 'Page'
    );
}

You can change the name of the sort attribute with $sortableField->setSortField('SortOrderOrWhatever');, _(*7)
