Embedding Snippets

Kirby 2 Solved ✅
#9

I think this is what I am looking for to embed a little link menu for social media, displayed with Font Awesome icons, like this

(snippet: social)

I have a simple blueprint with a title and a textarea. What happens with the snippet tag is that the content of the snippet does not appear in the middle of the textarea where I placed it - it appears on top of it, below the heading that was created by the title field. Do I misunderstand the way the tag works?

#10

No, but there was still a bug in the syntax apparently. Could you please try the code posted above again?

#11

Ooops: what I get now is the raw code, as if the code is wrapped in pre-tags… Hm. Is it possible that it has to do with my PHP version? The provider is still on PHP 5.3, so I use Kirby 2.1.

#12

Raw code as in “raw PHP code”? What does your HTML source code look like?

Raw HTML code. Yes, it is exactly as I thought: the code is wrapped in pre- and code-tags:
An example is here: http://nils-fischer.net/veroeffentlichungen/test

I had the same issue like @Kate.

In my case the indentation force the problem with a pre & code-tag around my snippet-code if I call the snippet from a kirbytag.

Form my point of view this issue is related to my issue: Snippet in kirbytag output unnecessary p-tag

Hello, I’m using this custom tag. See code below.

kirbytext::$tags['snippet'] = array(
  'attr' => array(
  ),
  'html' => function($tag) {
  	$file =  $tag->attr('snippet');
  	return snippet($file, array(), true);
  }
);

It seems like anything after the custom tag does not get parsed as markdown? For example…

## Some Header

Some paragraph of text.

(snippet: list-team)

And this is the last sentence in the textarea.

In the above case when I output this with kt() it does not wrap the final sentence with p tags. Everything above the snippet embed tag gets converted from markdown/kt to html.

Any insight?

#16

What is in your snippet? What Kirby version? I can’t reproduce this in a Starterkit, I’m afraid…

#18

Thanks for the reply. I’m working with version 2.57.

It’s definitely something with the snippet file itself. I narrowed it down and see that this behavior is due to the use of the kt() or kirbytext() in the snippet file that gets embedded.

#19

Do you mean, due to using kt() within your snippet? For obvious reasons, I can’t test your snippet, at least not without having to recreate your structure, but if I create a simple snippet like this:

<div><?= $page->intro()->kt() ?></div>

and insert it via the snippet tag in the home page of a Starterkit, it works fine.

#20

Hmmm… Right. When I remove all code from my snippet and simply use the following…

<?php #$site->title()->kt() ?>

Everything seems fine. I don’t know. Maybe it has to do with it cycling through through the structure object with the foreach loop. Don’t see why though.

#21

This snippet worked as well:

<div>
  <?php foreach(page('blog')->children() as $child): ?>
    <h1><?= $child->title() ?></h1>
    <?= $child->text()->kt() ?>
  <?php endforeach ?>
</div>

Edit: Are you using any plugins?

#22

Yes. Imageshrink and Focus

#23

Does it make any difference if you remove those plugins? Can’t see how those would interfere, though.

Edit: I just saw something else: the original snippet you posted, is not wrapped in a container, but should be. Could you try that, please?

#24

Good eye. I wrapped my snippet code in a DIV and it worked. I wouldn’t have thought of that. I’ll have to chalk that up as a rule to remember.

Thanks for your help!!!

#25

FYI: The HTML in a Kirbytag definition has to be wrapped in a container as well.

#26

Does this snippet tag need to be revised to work in Kirby v3?

#27

The snippet itself: no; the way you create your custom kirbytag: yes.

/site/plugins/custom-tags/index.php

<?php
Kirby::plugin('yourname/custom-tags', [

    'tags' => [
        'snippet' => [
            'html' => function($tag) {
                return snippet('snippetname');
            }
        ]
    ]
]);

Or with dynamic snippet names

<?php
Kirby::plugin('yourname/custom-tags', [

    'tags' => [
        'snippet' => [
            'html' => function($tag) {
                $snippetName = $tag->value();
                return snippet($snippetName);
            }
        ]
    ]
]);

@texnixe Is there something further that one needs to do to make the V3 plug-in above (dynamic snipped names) besides install it to the plug-in folder? Despite installation (plugins>custom-tags>custom-tags.php), my snippet tags are not replaced.

Example:

Version: (snippet: version-snippet)

… where version-snippet.php is in the snippets folder.

Even after installing the plug-in, this is rendered on the live HTML page as:

Version: (snippet: version-snippet)

There was a typo, now corrected, if you just copied it as is, maybe that is the issue.
