File markdown tag not working in a structure textarea field

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

Hi there! I’m having the following problem: I have a structure field with a textarea “subfield”. The structure field is in a blueprint for a module. When I add a markdown file link for a file that’s in the module content folder, it only shows the text: that I have added to the tag but not the link. I output the textarea as YAML like so:

<?= kirbytext($box['right_text']) ?>

Thanks!

Works for me. Could you please post your complete. code snippet and the blueprint?

Here’s the blueptint:

title: Module Double Box
pages: false
files: true

fields:
  title:
    label: Module title
    type: text
  
  boxes:
    label: Content Boxes
    type: structure
    fields:
      left_text:
        label:  Text 1
        type: textarea
      right_text:
        label: Text 2
        type: textarea 
      direction:
          label: Direction
          type: checkbox
          text: Reverse

…and the code I output this with:

<?php
$boxes = $module->boxes()->yaml();
foreach($boxes as $box): ?>

    <div class="row<?php e($box['direction'] == 1, '-rev') ?>">
            <div class="double__text ">
                <div class="inner__content">
                <?= kirbytext($box['left_text']) ?>
                </div>
            </div>

            <div class="double__text ">
                <div class="inner__content">
                <?= kirbytext($box['right_text']) ?>
                </div>
            </div>
    </div>

    <?php endforeach ?>

Does this only happen in a module? Currently, I don’t have. a module setup to test. in.

Have. you tried with toStructure() instead of yaml()?

Ok. It wasn’t easy to find a structure field in my current project that sits directly in a regular page but I found one and tested and it works there. So, the problem appears to be with structure fields when in a module.

And no, I didn’t try a structure because I decided to abandon the plan to let the user put files for download in the textarea and instead output a, yes, structure field with a list of files for download. The issue still stands though, because it will be good to be able to place a file in a textarea in a structure in a module.

No, I meant using the toStructure() method on your structure field instead of yaml():

<?php
$boxes = $module->boxes()->toStructure();
foreach($boxes as $box): ?>

    <div class="row<?php e($box->direction() == 1, '-rev') ?>">
            <div class="double__text ">
                <div class="inner__content">
                <?= $box->left_text()->kt() ?>
                </div>
            </div>

            <div class="double__text ">
                <div class="inner__content">
                <?= $box->right_text()->kt() ?>
                </div>
            </div>
    </div>

    <?php endforeach ?>

Yes, I understood what you meant but didn’t test it. Now I did and it works. So, to recap: no YAML in a structure field in a module. Thanks!
