Shit to write about.markdown

• Optimizing response time in SilverStripe using APC and Partial Caching

• Customizing GridField columns. (Two methods)

  • Use $summary_fields and define custom getter:

    $summary_fields = array('FullName' => 'Full Name');
    public function getFullName() { return $this->FirstName . ' ' . $this->LastName; }
  

  • Use GridField setFieldFormatting() to customize:

    $config->getComponentByType('GridFieldDataColumns')->setFieldFormatting(array(
      'Intake' => function($val, $list) {
        return date('M Y', strtotime($val));
      }
    ));
  

• Importing CSVs and dealing with relationships.
