How do i display pdf's in a section on kirby?

The CMS Questions

Good Morning everyone,

i want to display pdf-files, that are loaded into a folder on the website.
That is my current code, but i don’t get a link displayed.

`<section id="program">
<h1><?= $data->title() ?></h1>

 <ul>

  <?php
 foreach($page->documents()->filterBy('extension', 'pdf') as $pdf): ?>
 <li>
  <a href="<?= $pdf->url() ?>">
    <?= $pdf->filename() ?>
    (<?= $pdf->niceSize() ?>)
  </a>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>
`

This is my first project with kirby3 & PHP. So bear with me, if i’m missing some essential ideas.
Thank you in advance

Your code works perfectly to retrieve pdfs for the current page.
Or do you want to display pdfs from somewhere else?

Is that a sort of one-pager setup? What is $data in your context?

Hi texnixe,
Yes, i have a onepager setup fetched from the kirby cookbook recipe:

The $data attribute is from the recipe:

 foreach($pages->listed() as $section) {
  snippet($section->uid(), ['data' => $section]);
}

(sorry for replying so late, private issues came sweeping by)

As far as i understand, because i collect the data differently i need to change the $page attribute?

Ok, the $data refers to the current one-pager section page and you have to use $data instead of $page to fetch the documents from this page:

<section id="program">
<h1><?= $data->title() ?></h1>

<ul>

<?php foreach($data->documents()->filterBy('extension', 'pdf') as $pdf): ?>
  <li>
    <a href="<?= $pdf->url() ?>">
      <?= $pdf->filename() ?>(<?= $pdf->niceSize() ?>)
   </a>
  </li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
