Methods
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend prior to control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend after control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
Create an object from a string representation. It treats it as a PHP constructor without the 'new' keyword. It also manages to construct the object without the use of eval().
Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().
Similar to Object::create(), except that classes are only overloaded if you set the $strong parameter to TRUE when using Object::useCustomClass()
This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method Object::create()
If a class has been overloaded, get the class name it has been overloaded with - otherwise return the class name
Get the value of a static property of a class, even in that property is declared protected (but not private), without any inheritance, merging or parent lookup if it doesn't exist on the given class.
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
Add an extension to a specific class.
No description

Check if this class is an instance of a specific class, or has that class as one of its parents
Calls a method if available on both this object and all applied Extensions, and then attempts to merge all results into an array
Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Get all extension instances for this specific object instance.
Cache the results of an instance method in this object to a file, or if it is already cache return the cached results

Convert a field schema (e.g. "Varchar(50)") into a casting object creator array that contains both a className and castingHelper constructor code. See castingObjectCreator for more information about the constructor.
Check if a field exists on this object or its failover.
Get the value of a property/field on this object. This will check if a method called get{$property} exists, then check if a field is available using ViewableData::getField(), then fall back on a failover object.

Get the class name a field on this object will be casted to
Return the string-format type for the given field.

Get the value of a field on this object, automatically inserting the value into any available casting objects that have been specified.
A simple wrapper around ViewableData::obj() that automatically caches the result so it can be used again without re-running the method.
Checks if a given method/field has a valid value. If the result is an object, this will return the result of the exists method, otherwise will check if the result is not just an empty paragraph tag.
Get the string value of a field on this object that has been suitable escaped to be inserted directly into a template.
Return the value of the field without any escaping being applied.
Return the value of a field in an SQL-safe format.
Return the value of a field in a JavaScript-save format.
Return the value of a field escaped suitable to be inserted into an XML node attribute.
Get an array of XML-escaped values by field name
Return a single-item iterator so you can iterate over the fields of a single record.
When rendering some objects it is necessary to iterate over the object being rendered, to do this, you need access to itself.
Return the directory if the current active theme (relative to the site root).
Get part of the current classes ancestry to be used as a CSS class.
Return debug information about this object that can be rendered into a template
Given a request, and an action name, call that action name on this RequestHandler
Get a array of allowed actions defined on this controller, any parent classes or extensions.
Checks if this request handler has a specific action, even if the current user cannot access it.
Return the class that defines the given action, so that we know where to check allowed_actions.
Check that the given action is allowed to be called from a URL.
Throws a HTTP error response encased in a SS_HTTPResponse_Exception, which is later caught in RequestHandler::handleAction() and returned to the user.
Returns the SS_HTTPRequest object that this controller is using.
Typically the request is set through handleAction() or handleRequest(), but in some based we want to set it manually.
Takes a field name and converts camelcase to spaced words. Also resolves combined field names with dot syntax to spaced words.
Construct and return HTML tag.

Details
static Config_ForClass|null
config()
Get a configuration accessor for this class. Short hand for Config::inst()->get($this->class, .....).
protected
beforeExtending(string $method, callable $callback)
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend prior to control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
protected
afterExtending(string $method, callable $callback)
Allows user code to hook into Object::extend after control being delegated to extensions. Each callback will be reset once called.
static SS_Object
create()
An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class
This method first for strong class overloads (singletons & DB interaction), then custom class overloads. If an overload is found, an instance of this is returned rather than the original class. To overload a class, use Object::useCustomClass()
This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create('SiteTree'); $list = SiteTree::get();
static SS_Object
singleton()
Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.
It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).
static
create_from_string($classSpec, $firstArg = null)
Create an object from a string representation. It treats it as a PHP constructor without the 'new' keyword. It also manages to construct the object without the use of eval().
Construction itself is done with Object::create(), so that Object::useCustomClass() calls are respected.
Object::create_from_string("Versioned('Stage','Live')") will return the result of
Versioned::create('Stage', 'Live);
It is designed for simple, clonable objects. The first time this method is called for a given string it is cached, and clones of that object are returned.
If you pass the $firstArg argument, this will be prepended to the constructor arguments. It's impossible to pass null as the firstArg argument.
Object::create_from_string("Varchar(50)", "MyField") will return the result of
Vachar::create('MyField', '50');
Arguments are always strings, although this is a quirk of the current implementation rather than something that can be relied upon.
static
parse_class_spec($classSpec)
Parses a class-spec, such as "Versioned('Stage','Live')", as passed to create_from_string().
Returns a 2-elemnent array, with classname and arguments
static SS_Object
strong_create()
Similar to Object::create(), except that classes are only overloaded if you set the $strong parameter to TRUE when using Object::useCustomClass()
static
useCustomClass(string $oldClass, string $newClass, bool $strong = false)
This class allows you to overload classes with other classes when they are constructed using the factory method Object::create()
static string
getCustomClass(string $class)
If a class has been overloaded, get the class name it has been overloaded with - otherwise return the class name
static any
static_lookup($class, $name, null $default = null)
Get the value of a static property of a class, even in that property is declared protected (but not private), without any inheritance, merging or parent lookup if it doesn't exist on the given class.

has_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $requiredExtension = null, bool $strict = false)
Return TRUE if a class has a specified extension.
This supports backwards-compatible format (static Object::has_extension($requiredExtension)) and new format ($object->has_extension($class, $requiredExtension))
static
add_extension(string $classOrExtension, string $extension = null)
Add an extension to a specific class.
The preferred method for adding extensions is through YAML config, since it avoids autoloading the class, and is easier to override in more specific configurations.
As an alternative, extensions can be added to a specific class directly in the Object::$extensions array. See SiteTree::$extensions for examples. Keep in mind that the extension will only be applied to new instances, not existing ones (including all instances created through singleton()).
static
remove_extension(string $extension)
Remove an extension from a class.
Keep in mind that this won't revert any datamodel additions of the extension at runtime, unless its used before the schema building kicks in (in your _config.php). Doesn't remove the extension from any Object instances which are already created, but will have an effect on new extensions. Clears any previously created singletons through singleton() to avoid side-effects from stale extension information.

array
extend(string $method, mixed $a1 = null, mixed $a2 = null, mixed $a3 = null, mixed $a4 = null, mixed $a5 = null, mixed $a6 = null, mixed $a7 = null)
Run the given function on all of this object's extensions. Note that this method originally returned void, so if you wanted to return results, you're hosed
Currently returns an array, with an index resulting every time the function is called. Only adds returns if they're not NULL, to avoid bogus results from methods just defined on the parent extension. This is important for permission-checks through extend, as they use min() to determine if any of the returns is FALSE. As min() doesn't do type checking, an included NULL return would fail the permission checks.
The extension methods are defined during __construct()} in {@link defineMethods().
Extension
getExtensionInstance(string $extension)
Get an extension instance attached to this object by name.
bool
hasExtension(string $extension)
Returns TRUE if this object instance has a specific extension applied in $extension_instances. Extension instances are initialized at constructor time, meaning if you use add_extension() afterwards, the added extension will just be added to new instances of the extended class. Use the static method has_extension() to check if a class (not an instance) has a specific extension.
Caution: Don't use singleton(

Return a single-item iterator so you can iterate over the fields of a single record.
This is useful so you can use a single record inside a <% control %> block in a template - and then use to access individual fields on this object.
ViewableData
Me()
When rendering some objects it is necessary to iterate over the object being rendered, to do this, you need access to itself.
string
ThemeDir(string $subtheme = false)
Return the directory if the current active theme (relative to the site root).
This method is useful for things such as accessing theme images from your template without hardcoding the theme
page - e.g. 
.
This method should only be used when a theme is currently active. However, it will fall over to the current project directory.
string
CSSClasses(string $stopAtClass = 'ViewableData')
Get part of the current classes ancestry to be used as a CSS class.
This method returns an escaped string of CSS classes representing the current classes ancestry until it hits a stop point - e.g. "Page DataObject ViewableData".
ViewableData_Debugger
Debug()
Return debug information about this object that can be rendered into a template
setDataModel($model)
Set the DataModel for this request.
SS_HTTPResponse|RequestHandler|string|array
handleRequest(SS_HTTPRequest $request, DataModel $model)
Handles URL requests.
- ViewableData::handleRequest() iterates through each rule in self::$url_handlers.
- If the rule matches, the named method will be called.
- If there is still more URL to be processed, then handleRequest() is called on the object that that method returns.
Once all of the URL has been processed, the final result is returned. However, if the final result is an array, this array is interpreted as being additional template data to customise the 2nd to last result with, rather than an object in its own right. This is most frequently used when a Controller's action will return an array of data with which to customise the controller.
protected
findAction($request)
No description
protected SS_HTTPResponse
handleAction($request, $action)
Given a request, and an action name, call that action name on this RequestHandler
Must not raise SS_HTTPResponse_Exceptions - instead it should return
array|null
allowedActions(string $limitToClass = null)
Get a array of allowed actions defined on this controller, any parent classes or extensions.
Caution: Since 3.1, allowed_actions definitions only apply to methods on the controller they're defined on, so it is recommended to use the $class argument when invoking this method.
bool
hasAction(string $action)
Checks if this request handler has a specific action, even if the current user cannot access it.
Includes class ancestry and extensions in the checks.
protected
definingClassForAction($actionOrigCasing)
Return the class that defines the given action, so that we know where to check allowed_actions.
checkAccessAction($action)
Check that the given action is allowed to be called from a URL.
It will interrogate self::$allowed_actions to determine this.
httpError(int $errorCode, string $errorMessage = null)
Throws a HTTP error response encased in a SS_HTTPResponse_Exception, which is later caught in RequestHandler::handleAction() and returned to the user.
SS_HTTPRequest|NullHTTPRequest
getRequest()
Returns the SS_HTTPRequest object that this controller is using.
Returns a placeholder NullHTTPRequest object unless handleAction()} or {@link handleRequest() have been called, which adds a reference to an actual SS_HTTPRequest object.
setRequest($request)
Typically the request is set through handleAction() or handleRequest(), but in some based we want to set it manually.
string
Link(string $action = null)
Return a link to this field.
static string
name_to_label(string $fieldName)

addExtraClass(string $class)
Add one or more CSS-classes to the FormField container.
Multiple class names should be space delimited.
$this
removeExtraClass(string $class)
Remove one or more CSS-classes from the FormField container.
$this
setAttribute(string $name, string $value)
Set an HTML attribute on the field element, mostly an input tag.
Some attributes are best set through more specialized methods, to avoid interfering with built-in behaviour:
- 'class': addExtraClass()
- 'title': setDescription()
- 'value': setValue
- 'name': setName
Caution: this doesn't work on most fields which are composed of more than one HTML form field.
null|string
getAttribute($name)
Get an HTML attribute defined by the field, or added through setAttribute().
Caution: this doesn't work on all fields, see setAttribute().

Custom attributes to process. Falls back to getAttributes().
If at least one argument is passed as a string, all arguments act as excludes, by name.
string

string
attrValue()
Returns a version of a title suitable for insertion into an HTML attribute.
$this
setValue(mixed $value, array|DataObject|SS_List $record = null)
Loads the related record values into this field. UploadField can be uploaded in one of three ways:
- By passing in a list of file IDs in the $value parameter (an array with a single
key 'Files', with the value being the actual array of IDs).
- By passing in an explicit list of File objects in the $record parameter, and leaving $value blank.
- By passing in a dataobject in the $record parameter, from which file objects will be extracting using the field name as the relation field.
Each of these methods will update both the items (list of File objects) and the field value (list of file ID values).

Different from setError() as that appends it to the standard error messaging.
string
getCustomValidationMessage()
Get the custom error message for this form field. If a custom message has not been defined then just return blank. The default error is defined on Validator.
