SilverStripe\CMS\Controllers\ContentController

The most common kind of controller; effectively a controller linked to a {@link DataObject}.

ContentControllers are most useful in the content-focused areas of a site. This is generally
the bulk of a site; however, they may be less appropriate in, for example, the user management
section of an application.
On its own, content controller does very little. Its constructor is passed a which is stored in $this->dataRecord. Any unrecognised method calls, for example, Title()
and Content(), will be passed along to the data record,
Subclasses of ContentController are generally instantiated by ModelAsController; this will create
a controller based on the URLSegment action variable, by looking in the SiteTree table.

Methods

protected

• init()

public

• __construct() — The ContentController will take the URLSegment parameter from the URL and use that to look up a SiteTree record.
• ChildrenOf() — Return the children of a given page. The parent reference can either be a page link or an ID.
• ContentLocale() — Returns an RFC1766 compliant locale string, e.g. 'fr-CA'.
• Link() — Return the link to this controller, but force the expanded link to be returned so that form methods and similar will function properly.
• LoginForm() — Returns the default log-in form.
• Menu()
• Page()
• SilverStripeNavigator()
• SiteConfig()
• data() — Returns the associated database record
• deleteinstallfiles()
• getMenu() — Returns a fixed navigation menu of the given level.
• getViewer() — Return an SSViewer object to render the template for the current page.
• handleRequest() — This acts the same as {@link Controller::handleRequest()}, but if an action cannot be found this will attempt to fall over to a child controller in order to provide functionality for nested URLs.
• project() — Get the project name
• successfullyinstalled() — This action is called by the installation system
