By default, SilverStripe lack some really common stuff I find myself doing in most of my websites. This module aims to provides basic functionnalities that can be easily used on a website.

This module is under heavy work in progress, things breaks and will change. Use at your own risks.

Requirements

SilverStripe ^4.1
Use public folder

Installation

You can install this module with Composer:

composer require lekoala/silverstripe-base

If you install this as a git submodule don't forget to adjust your autoloader

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/src/",
        "LeKoala\\Base\\": "src/",
        "LeKoala\\Base\\Test\\": "tests/"
    },
    "classmap": [
        "app/src/Page.php",
        "app/src/PageController.php"
    ]
},

Also you may need to adjust your default app/_config/mysite.yml to make sure base module is loaded first

---
Name: myproject
After:
- '#base-extensions'
---
SilverStripe\Core\Manifest\ModuleManifest:
    project: app
SilverStripe\Control\Email\Email:
    admin_email: [email protected]
# If you use bootstrap 4
SilverStripe\CMS\Model\SiteTree:
    extensions:
        - LeKoala\Base\Extensions\BootstrapPageExtension

This also applies to your theme.yml

Name: mytheme
After:
- '#base-theme'
