File info in page blueprint

The CMS Questions
1

Hi there,

I created a blueprint for my blog. For the cover image I want to include some file info into the info-property, for example the alt-tag. So far I didn’t find a solution, how to do it.

page.yml:

sections:
  properties:
    label: Info
    type: fields
    fields:
      cover:
        label: Header Bild
        info: "{{ file.alt }}" # this was my failed attempt
        type: files
        layout: cards
        image:
          ratio: 16/9
          cover: false
        multiple: false

file.yml:

title: files
accept: true

fields:
  alt:
    label: Alt-Text / Bildunterschrift
    type: text

Thank you for your help!
Dominik

You would have to assign this file blueprint to your cover field via the uploads option:

Thank you, it works, awesome!

Here is my solution (for others with the same problem and no idea ^^):

sections:
  properties:
    label: Info
    type: fields
    fields:
      cover:
        label: Header Bild
        info: "alt: {{ file.alt }}" # changed this too
        type: files
        layout: cards
        image:
          ratio: 16/9
          cover: false
        multiple: false
        # the code below made the difference
        uploads:
          template: default

Is there a list or a documentation of all the interactive “{{ variables }}” in the blueprints? So far I hardly understood some, but I don’t feel like, I know, what’s possible.

The general introduction to the query language is here: Query Language | Kirby CMS

For more complicated queries, you can usually create custom page, user, site etc. methods

Hi there,
I think, I got more familiar with the query language now, but one question is still open.
How can I check, if the titleImage is filled or empty? Is this possible without a custom method?

name: Step
# check, if titleImage is filled?
label: "{{ title }} {{ titleImage.isNotEmpty }}" 
fields:
  title:
    type: text
    label: title
  titleImage:
    type: files
    info: "alt: {{ file.alt }}"
    layout: cards
    multiple: false
    uploads:
      template: default

That looks like a custom block blueprint?

The label here doesn’t use the query language (looks the same but is different)! This is just a string template where you can use fieldnames.
