We tried to keep our book SilverStripe 2.4 Module Extension, Themes, and Widgets: Beginner's Guide as accurate as possible, but sometimes mistakes creep in. This page lists the errors submitted by our astute readers. If you've found a new error, please file it under https://github.com/xeraa/silverstripe-book/issues

Page numbers are from the printed version of the book.

There's also a list of references (sample chapters, reviews,...) and a trivia section of the book.

Thirdparty Changes

Facebook API

Due to a Facebook API change (https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/509/) the Facebook widget described in the book is broken. This will now require a valid access_token to fetch content from walls and posts.

The updated, working code looks like this - only the function Feeds() requires changes:

/**
 * Fetch the messages from Facebook and make them available to the template.
 * The feed includes both your own posts and the ones from others. We are however only interested in our own posts, so we'll fetch some more and throw the others away.
 * Taking five more might not be sufficient, but we'll assume it's enough for our scenario.
 *
 * @return DataObjectSet Array containing all relevant fields.
 */
public function Feeds(){

	/**
	 * URL for fetchning the information, convert the returned JSON into an array.
	 * It is required to use an access_token which in turn mandates https.
	 */
	if(!defined('FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN')){
		user_error('Missing Facebook access token - please get one and add it to your mysite/_config.php: define("FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN", "&lt;your token&gt;");', E_USER_WARNING);
		return;
	}
	$url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/' . $this->Identifier . '/feed?limit=' . ($this->Limit + 5) . '&access_token=' . FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN;
	$facebook = json_decode(file_get_contents($url), true);

	/**
	 * Make sure we received some content, create a warning in case of an error.
	 */
	if(empty($facebook) || !isset($facebook['data'])){
		user_error('Facebook message error or API changed', E_USER_WARNING);
		return;
	}

	/**
	 * Iterate over all messages and only fetch as many as needed.
	 */
	$feeds = new DataObjectSet();
	$count = 0;
	foreach($facebook['data'] as $post){
		if($count >= $this->Limit){
			break;
		}

		/**
		 * If it isn't a post, but an event for example: continue with the next entry.
		 */
		if(!isset($post['from']['id']) || !isset($post['message'])){
			continue;
		}

		/**
		 * If the post is from the user itself and not someone else, add the message and date to our feeds array.
		 */
		if(strpos($this->Identifier, $post['from']['id']) === 0){
			$posted = date_parse($post['created_time']);
			$feeds->push(new ArrayData(array(
				'Message' => DBField::create('Text', $post['message']),
				'Posted' => DBField::create(
					'SS_Datetime',
					$posted['year'] . '-' . $posted['month'] . '-' . $posted['day'] . ' ' . $posted['hour'] . ':' . $posted['minute'] . ':' . $posted['second']
				),
			)));
			$count++;
		}
	}
	return $feeds;
}

Note that you must get a Facebook access_token, which you'll need to add to mysite/_config.php: define("FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN", "<your token>");
