Methods summary

`public`	# `__construct( string $name, string $title = null, sourceObject $sourceObject = 'Group', string $keyField = 'ID', string $labelField = 'Title', string $showSearch = false )` CAVEAT: for search to work properly $labelField must be a database field, or you need to setSearchFunction. CAVEAT: for search to work properly $labelField must be a database field, or you need to setSearchFunction. Parameters `$name` string $name the field name `$title` string $title the field label `$sourceObject` sourceObject The object-type to list in the tree. Must be a 'hierachy' object. Alternatively, you can set this to an array of key/value pairs, like a dropdown source. In this case, the field will act like show a flat list of tree items, without any hierachy. This is most useful in conjunction with TreeMultiselectField, for presenting a set of checkboxes in a compact view. `$keyField` string $keyField to field on the source class to save as the field value (default ID). `$labelField` string $labelField the field name to show as the human-readable value on the tree (default Title). `$showSearch` string $showSearch enable the ability to search the tree by entering the text in the input field. Overrides `FormField::__construct`
`public`	# `setTreeBaseID( integer $ID )` Set the ID of the root node of the tree. This defaults to 0 - i.e. displays the whole tree. Set the ID of the root node of the tree. This defaults to 0 - i.e. displays the whole tree. Parameters `$ID` int $ID
`public`	# `setFilterFunction( callable $callback )` Set a callback used to filter the values of the tree before displaying to the user. Set a callback used to filter the values of the tree before displaying to the user. Parameters `$callback` callback $callback
`public`	# `setSearchFunction( callable $callback )` Set a callback used to search the hierarchy globally, even before applying the filter. Set a callback used to search the hierarchy globally, even before applying the filter. Parameters `$callback` callback $callback
`public string`	# `Field( )` Returns `string` string Overrides `FormField::Field`
`public string`	# `tree( SS_HTTPRequest $request )` Get the whole tree of a part of the tree via an AJAX request. Get the whole tree of a part of the tree via an AJAX request. Parameters `$request` SS_HTTPRequest $request Returns `string` string
`public unknown_type`	# `filterMarking( mixed $node )` Marking function for the tree, which combines different filters sensibly. If a filter function has been set, that will be called. If the source is a folder, automatically filter folder. And if search text is set, filter on that too. Return true if all applicable conditions are true, false otherwise.

`protected`	# `populateIDs( )` Populate $this->searchIds with the IDs of the pages matching the searched parameter and their parents. Reverse-constructs the tree starting from the leaves. Initially taken from CMSSiteTreeFilter, but modified with pluggable search function. Populate $this->searchIds with the IDs of the pages matching the searched parameter and their parents.

`protected DataObject`	# `objectForKey( string\|integer $key )` Get the object where the $keyField is equal to a certain value Get the object where the $keyField is equal to a certain value Parameters `$key` string\|int $key Returns `DataObject` DataObject
`public`	# `performReadonlyTransformation( )` Changes this field to the readonly field. Changes this field to the readonly field. Overrides `FormField::performReadonlyTransformation`

The default URL handling rules. This specifies that the next component of the URL corresponds to a method to be called on this RequestHandlingData object. The keys of this array are parse rules. See `SS_HTTPRequest::match()` for a description of the rules available. The values of the array are the method to be called if the rule matches. If this value starts with a '$', then the named parameter of the parsed URL wil be used to determine the method name.
