Blueprint: tabs only in the right column

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
#1

I want to get a Panel layout like:

So I have build a little blueprint file with only the first two tabs:

title: Columns-Tab-Page

columns:
  left:
    width: 1/3
    sections:
      # sections in the left column

      # a list of subpages
      pages:
        type: pages
        headline: Pages
        create:
          - default
        image: false

      # a list of files
      files:
        type: files
        headline: Files

  right:
    width: 2/3
    sections:
      tabs:
        # tabs in the right column

        # content tab
        content:
          label: Content
          icon: text
          fields:
            headline:
              label: Headline
              type: text
            text:
              label: Text
              type: textarea

        # seo tab
        seo:
          label: SEO
          icon: search
          fields:
            seoTitle:
              label: SEO Title
              type: text
            seoDescription:
              label: SEO Description
              type: text

But now I get an error:

How can I get the pages and files in the left column and the tabs in the right column?
Is there a plugin or a solution for this?

Tabs can only be used at the top level, not inside columns or sections.

You can cheat a bit, by still having the tabs at the top level, but then repeat the pages and files section in every tab.

Please show us your “test” blueprint file.

Thank you very much.

With so many things you want to keep as they are in Kirby 2, I’m seriously asking myself why you don’t just stick with it.

The support for Kirby 2 with security updates and for new PHP versions is not announced indefinitely to my knowledge.
And realy new plugins are only available for Kirby 3…

So I have to upgrade my websites to Kirby 3 sometime, but I want to keep the old wisdom in mind: “Never change a running team!” The appearance of the panel pages should therefore not change.

#6

What I don’t understand is that the design of the Kirby 3 panel differs from the decade-long habit of all Windows dialogs.
To the best of my knowledge, the majority of private and professional users use Windows as their operating system on computers, and their file selection dialog is always on the left.

#7

I don’t see the problem. You can put your file section on the left if you like this, there is nothing that keeps you from doing it. Don’t use the Presets if you don’t like them. This is really a non-issue.

I only asked questions here, at no time I ask an issue on this page in front of this sentence.

If you would apply for support for

on Github in Kirby 3, I would of course be helped at some point.

In my opinion, such an extension would further enhance the ingenuity of the Kirby 3 panel, if that is possible at all.

Now I have tested your unchanged blueprint file using Kirby 3.3.1-rc.1.

When I want to add a subpage I get an error while typing the Title of the new page:

K3_error2
K3_error2654×523 18 KB

Something is wrong.

[Added:]
If I change to Kirby 3.3.0 this error disappears.
So I think this an error in the RC.1.

This has already been reported on Github and will be fixed in 3.3.1.

Sorry no, the download from https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/tree/develop [ Latest commit e2a5874 5 hours ago] does not solve this problem on my Win10 XAMPP 7.2.15 – PHP/7.2.15 dev system.

[Added:]
And yes, I use the best browser for Windows I know: “Firefox 70.0.1 (64-Bit)”

You can download the portable version from https://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

Then maybe on another branch. Wait for 3.3.1

My first test says: Thank you all for this update.

I will report more this weekend…
