Hi there,
I need to “sanitize” some text from text input fields in Kirby 2, that means I would need to create some custom field methods using some preg_replace that are then available to me globally.
While there is documentation on how to create your own field methods in Kirby 3, I couldn’t find anything for Kirby 2? Is there a way to do this?
Thank you!
Works perfectly, thanks!
Here’s the code I ended up with for future reference:
<?php
field::$methods['sanitize'] = function($field) {
return preg_replace('/(\w)\/(\w)/', '$1 / $2', $field->value());;
};
Actually, one more related question: How do I extend the str object with the same method? In my naive hope I just tried:
str::$methods['sanitize'] = functions($str) {
return preg_replace('/(\w)\/(\w)/', '$1 / $2', $str);
}
but that gives me an error Access to undeclared static property: Str::$methods. Is there any way to add a custom str method as well?
No, I don’t think so. You can create a custom class that extends the str class, but for only one function that probably wouldn’t make sense and a function would be more useful.
Where do I best store the functions I want to make globally accessible in Kirby 2?
In a plugin folder/file, e.g.
/methods
methods.php
The name can be anything, helpers, functions, whatever
Ok, so any plugin code is just initialized globally, got it. Thanks!
