Silverstripe：Top.PageControllerFunction不显示

Question

I am using the Silverstripe Twitter module. It has a page controller function called LatestTweets($value) Which obviously displays the latest tweets.

When I add the Latest Tweets function to the Page.ss template. The tweets display. Everything works fine.

I am also using shaedawson's blocks module. I have a 'grid' block. The Grid Block has a template (Grid.ss) In the Templates Folder (templates/). When I add $Top.LatestTweets(3) to the Grid Template, the tweets do not appear.

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

Answer 1

I figured this out. The reason why the "Latest Tweets" function was not appearing on my template, was because I had to extend Block_Controller

I added the following to my 'extension.yml' file:

Block_Controller:
  extensions:
    - TwitterExtension

I would like to be able to 'include' the "Twitter Feed" template in my Grid Template. However this works and will do for now.
