Hi, ive made a field in my panel where i ask for youtube id, and i wanted to upload the youtube thumbnail to the page so it can be used on the parent page that is a galery, is it possible?
Youtube thumb can be retrieved from this link http://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEOID/0.jpg .
Also, so i don’t spam with other topic, ive used this for my contact page:
controllers--contact.php
<?php
return function($site, $pages, $page) {
$alert = null;
if(get('submit')) {
$data = array(
'name' => get('name'),show original
snippets--contactmail.php
Hey,
a new contact request has been submitted!
----
Name: <?php echo $name ?>
----
Email: <?php echo $email ?>
show original
templates--contact.php
<?php snippet('header') ?>
<main class="main" role="main">
<h1><?php echo $page->title()->html() ?></h1>
<form method="post">
<?php if($alert): ?>
<div class="alert">show original
Can i change the success message to the alert instead of changing to other page?
i tried to change on
but it doesnt work.
Thanks in advance.
I would add a separate success message:
...
// try to send it and redirect to the
// thank you page if it worked
if($email->send()) {
$success = "Thank you";
// add the error to the alert list if it failed
} else {
$alert = array($email->error());
}
...
return compact('alert', 'success');
...
And in the template:
...
<form method="post">
<?php if($success) : ?>
<div class="success"><?php echo $success ?></div>
<?php endif ?>
...

It worked, thanks!
How about using a panel hook and download the image from the url when the new post with the video is is saved?

Not sure what a hook is sorry, i cant find it on kirby docs.
Currently, there is very little information apart from the changelog: http://getkirby.com/changelog/kirby-2-1-0
Basically, what you need to do, is set up a new hook panel.page.create and then inside this function, download the thumb:
kirby()->hook('panel.page.create', function($page) {
//fetch thumb here ...
});

I’m really sorry, i usualy get by with guides and other documentation but i can’t find anything on uploading a file from an external link, can you tell me what the function is so i can look it up?
Getting the image is not specific to Kirby, you can use the basic PHP functions.
$imagedata = file_get_contents('http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $page->youtubeUrl() . '/0.jpg');
After you fetched the file, you can store it with the page using:
file_put_contents($page->root() . DS . 'filename.jpg', $imagedata);
This stores the file in the directory of the page that has just been created.

Thanks, it worked. Final code looks like this:
kirby()->hook('panel.page.update', function($page) {
if($page->template() == 'video') {
$imagedata = file_get_contents('http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $page->youtube() . '/0.jpg');
file_put_contents($page->root() . DS . 'thumb.jpg', $imagedata);
}
});
