Basic Usage

This module is designed to be "hot-swappable" with standard ModelAdmin extensions. To generate your own admin interface using it, simply have you custom ModelAdmin extend ModelAdminPlus (instead of ModelAdmin). For example:

use ilateral\SilverStripe\ModelAdminPlus\ModelAdminPlus;

class MyModelAdmin extends ModelAdminPlus
{

  // Add standard ModelAdmin code here

}

Custom Export Fields

ModelAdminPlus allows for a DataObject to define it's own export_fields when it performs a bulk export. Export fields are a config variable, and are defined in exactly the same way as summary_fields, EG:

class MyDataObject extends DataObject
{
  private static $db = [
    "Name" => "Varchar",
    "URL"  => "Varchar(255)"
  ];

  /**
   * Fields shown in GridField
   *
   * @return array
   */
  private static $summary_fields = [
    "ID" => "ID",
    "Name" => "Your Name"
  ];

  /**
   * Custom fields to export to CSV in
   * ModelAdminPlus
   *
   * @return array
   */
  private static $export_fields = [
    "Name" => "Your Name",
    "URL"  => "Website"
  ];
}

You can also overwrite the export_fields using the updateExportFields extension hook.
