Hi,
I am using Page::create to generate a new page in Kirby. One of the fields in this page blueprint is a users field. When I generate the page I would like this to be blank, but currently it is filled in with - user://kirby. I guess this is because I am impersonating Kirby as part of the page creation.
What is the best way of getting this field to be blank when I create the page? I have tried setting it to null in the content section of Page::create but it hasn’t worked
Try to set it to an empty array. If that does not work, please post your blueprint.
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn’t work this time.
This is my blueprint (it is rather large so this is just the relevant section - the users field in question is mentor at the bottom):
title: School

changeSlug: false
duplicate: false
preview: false
delete:
admin: true
mentor: false
changeStatus:
admin: true
mentor: false
changeTitle:
admin: true
mentor: false

This is the page creation setup as well - it is inside a Uniform action, but again I have just pulled out the relevant bit. This is with your suggestion of the empty array:
try {
kirby()->impersonate('kirby');
$page = Page::create([
'slug' => $slug,
'template' => 'school',
'content' => [
'title' => $name,
'schoolType' => $schoolType,
'contactFirstName' => $contactFirstName,
'contactSurname' => $contactSurname,
'contactRole' => $contactRole,
'schoolDirectLine' => $schoolDirectLine,
'mobileNumber' => $mobileNumber,
'contactEmail' => $email,
'accessApproved' => false,
'mentor' => [],
]
]);
$page->changeStatus("unlisted");
kirby()->impersonate(null);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$this->fail($e->getMessage());
}
Had to do some testing, but the only thing that worked to keep the users field empty, is by setting default: false. Wondering if this is a bug, because the default should be no users selected.
Thanks for your work on this - I have added default: false to the blueprint which is doing the job. As you say, I think this should be the default when a new page is created with a users field.
