silverstripe-shortlist

Session based shortlist module for SilverStripe

This module allows for front end users to create shortlists of pages or dataobjects (which must have associated controllers & Links) which exist within the site. The shortlist is stored against the users' session (so adding/removing items only occurs during the session), but a unique URL for the particular shortlist may be shared.

Install

The module can be installed via composer:

composer require saltedherring/silverstripe-shortlist

Afterwards run a dev/build

Configuration Options

_config/_config.yml:

---
Name: shortlist
After: 'framework/*','cms/*'
---
ShortList:
  URLSegment: '/shortlist/'
  PaginationCount: 12

The base URL segment can be modified here, as can the pagination count (for the page that displays the actual list of items).

• Ensure that URL Segment can dynamically generate the route.

ShortList Object requirements

For an object to be able to be added to the shortlist it must:

• Provide a Link function
• Extend ShortListExtension

Front-end

The shortlist may be added to any template by including the supplied ShortListLinks ss include:

<% include ShortListLinks %>

This will provide a mechanism to allow objects to be added & removed from the shortlist.

The other templates provided are:

• templates/Layout/ShortList.ss (provides the template for the actual shortlist, including pagination controls)

• templates/Layout/ShortList_empty.ss (for displaying empty shortlist messages)

• Supply AJAX example use of pagination & add/remove links.

TO DO

• Ensure that URL Segment can dynamically generate the route.
• Supply AJAX example use of pagination & add/remove links.
