class with template type

Using Arduino Programming Questions

Hi, i am building 2 classes:
ChainItemBase --> the collection of item
CI --> any type derived from ChainItemBase class
ChainCollection --> the container of item(s)

here the working code.
written in c#.
please help me translate it to c++
i'm bit unfamiliar with c++

abstract class ChainItemBase
{
    public string name;

    public ChainItemBase next = null;
}

class ChainItemCollection<CI>
    where
    CI : ChainItemBase // CI must derived from ChainItemBase
{
    public CI first = null;

    public CI find(string name)
    {
        for (var find = first; find != null; find = find->next)
        {
            if (string.Compare(find.name, name) == 0) return find; // found
        }

        return null; // not found
    }
}

c++ code (not working):

typedef char *tinyString;

protected:
class ChainItemBase {
	public:
	const tinyString name;

	public:
	ChainItemBase* next = nullptr;
};

protected:
template<typename CI>
class ChainCollection<CI> {
	public:
	CI* first = nullptr;

	public: CI* find(const tinyString &name) {
		for (CI *find = first; find != nullptr; find = find->next) {
			if (strcmp(find->name, name) == 0)) return find; // found
		}

		return nullptr; // not found
	}
};
