copied!<p>In Silverstripe 3 this would be best achieved by creating a <a href="http://doc.silverstripe.com/framework/en/reference/dataextension"><code>DataExtension</code> class</a> (as opposed to overriding the class). (Note: this would be possible in 2.4.x as well, but the code would be quite different.)</p> <p>Create a new class called <code>TextFormatter</code> which extends <code>Extension</code>:</p> <pre><code>class TextFormatter extends Extension { public function NL2BR() { return nl2br($this->owner->value); } } </code></pre> <p>Specify in config that the <code>Text</code> class should be extended with your brand new class. This can be done either in your <code>_config.php</code> file or (preferably) in a YAML file.</p> <p>If you don't already have one, create a new file at <code>mysite/_config/extensions.yml</code> with the following content (or you can append this to your existing file):</p> <pre><code>Text: extensions: ['TextFormatter'] </code></pre> <p>This just says "extend the class <code>Text</code> with the class <code>TextFormatter</code>" which will make our new <code>NL2BR</code> function available on all <code>Text</code> objects.</p> <p>Now, in your templates you can simply call <code>$OfficeAddr.NL2BR</code> and the output will be run through your function before being output.</p> <p>Note that I've assumed your model uses <code>Text</code> as the field type rather than <code>HTMLText</code> as a previous answer has assumed. If you are using <code>HTMLText</code> you can simply extend that class instead by changing your <code>extensions.yml</code> file as appropriate.</p>
