Create a cookbook

The CMS Questions
1

Hi,
I would like to make a cookbook website. Now the cookbook at Cookbook | Kirby CMS looks amazing, however… i can’t seem to find a way to create that.

I’ve tried using the GitHub - getkirby/getkirby.com: Source code and content for the Kirby website page, but when i login the panel, i can’t seem to find a way to edit the cookbook docs so i can really create recipes from the webinterface panel.

It only says “no blueprints found”.

Can someone help me out with creating and editing a cookbook site?
Love,
Psybis

The getkirby.com website doesn’t use the Panel, we edit the content files manually.

Steps to get you started:

  1. Check out the documentation how to create blueprints and the examples

  2. The getkirby.com cookbook page has several fields, you would have to define those (or the ones you need) in your blueprint.

So, to recreate the structure from the website, you would have the following content structure

/content
  /cookbook
  cookbook.txt
    /category-one
    cookbook-category.txt
      /recipe-one
      recipe.txt
...

So you need the following blueprint:

  • cookbook.yml
  • cookbook-category.yml
  • recipe.yml

A very simple cookbook.yml

title: Cookbook
preset: pages
template: cookbook-category

Very simple cookbook-category.yml

title: Cookbook Category
preset: pages
template: recipe

And a recipe.yml:

title: Recipe
preset: page
pages: false

fields:
  description:
    type: textarea
    size: small
  text:
    type: textarea
    size: small

sidebar:
  meta:
    type: fields
    fields:
      date:
        type: date
        time: true
        default: now
      author:
        type: users

  images:
    type: images
    headline: images

Then you also need the corresponding templates.

Depending on whether you need the categories as subpages, you could simplify the structure.
