Lock page in the panel

The CMS Questions
1

I miss a lock feature in the panel. Lock a page from editing and only be able to view it.

Maybe something like this:

lock: true

And in the blueprint it would look like this:

title: Page
lock: true
fields:
  ...

All fields locked and no save button.

That could be a nice feature!

Meanwhile, you can always set deletable: false and all fields as readonly but that’s only a workaround and not a nice solution. I think your suggestion is great. To keep it aligned with other options, I would opt for the name “readonly”

PS: readonly doesn’t seem to be documented in the docs?

That’s true, the readonly option is missing from the docs, we’ll add that asap.

As regards the lock feature, I’d suggest editable: false.

Just for completeness, these kind of pages also need to have the save shortcut (CTRL+S on Window) disabled.

So far we don’t agree on the option name:

lock: true
readonly: true
editable: false

I would like even more people with name suggestions. It’s interesting to hear it. :slight_smile:

Great idea. I would prefer one of those names:

editable: false
readonly: true

It’s nothing personal, right. :wink:

But yes I think readonly could be better than lock. It’s used in form input so I think it would be nice:

Is there any benefit to disabling save when nothing can be edited? Or do you have dynamic data in mind that could be overridden by a panel save ?

Late reply. If it’s set to readonly: true I think it should be readonly, for real. If there is a save button or if it’s possible to save in anyway like the shortcut I think that it’s no “real” readonly. I mean, what should it save in a readonly mode? Nothing. :slight_smile:

Kirby 2.4.0 has a new page option called update:

options:
  status: true
  update: false
  template: false

And no, it hasn’t made it into the docs yet.
