Kirby builder problem - builder field is missing

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

Hi all,

I have installed the Kirby builder plugin because I want to implement a modules function into my website. I downloaded the plugin here GitHub - TimOetting/kirby-builder at kirby_v2 and followed the instructions:

  1. I downloaded the plugin into the plugins folder

  2. I cloned this file GitHub - TimOetting/kirby-builder: A site builder extension for Kirby CMS site/fields/builder into the site/fields/builder folder

  3. I added this code to the yml of the page I want to be able to use modules on:

     fields:
 ...
   builder:
     label: Sections
     type: builder
     fieldsets:
       bodytext:
         label: Body Text
         snippet: sections/bodytext
         fields:
           text:
             label: text
             type: textarea
       imageBanner:
         label: Image Banner
         snippet: sections/imagebanner
         fields:
           picture:
             label: Background Image
             type: image
           text:
             label: Headline Text
             type: text
       quote:
         label: Quote
         snippet: sections/quote
         fields:
           text:
             label: Quote Text
             type: textarea
           citation:
             label: Citation
             type: text

  4. I added this code to site/snippets/builder/imageBanner. php

    <section class="imageBanner" 
  <?php if ($data->picture()->isNotEmpty()): ?>
    style="background-image: url(<?= $page->image($data->picture())->url() ?>)"
  <?php endif ?>
  >
    <h2 class="imageBanner-headline">
      <?= $data->text() ?>
    </h2>
  </section>

  5. I added this code to the php of my page on which I want to implement the modules:

    <?php foreach($page->builder()->toStructure() as $section): ?>
   <?php snippet('sections/' . $section->_fieldset(), array('data' => $section)) ?>
 <?php endforeach ?>

  6. and this code to /site/snippets/sections/imagebanner.php

    <section class="imageBanner" 
<?php if ($data->picture()->isNotEmpty()): ?>
 style="background-image: url(<?= $page->image($data->picture())->url() ?>)"
<?php endif ?>
>
<h2 class="imageBanner-headline">
 <?= $data->text() ?>
 </h2>
</section>

However, when i try to access the panel for that page I get the following error:

Exception

The builder field is missing. Please add it to your installed fields or remove it from your blueprint

What am I missing?

Thank you!

This plugin doesn’t go into the plugins folder, it seems. You have to download the repo and copy it into site/fields. The folder name must be builder.

THANK YOU that was it! I thought I read something about a plugins folder but I have must have gotten confused while trying different plugin options
