Migrating builder to blocks

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
1

I’m currently trying to migrate my 3.6.6.1 builder sections to 3.7 blocks (to then proceed to 3.8). I’m having problems updating my templates.

Here’s what I did, following the migration guide:

  • replaced ‘builder’ with ‘blocks’ in my blueprint, now:
title: CV


fields:
  darkmenu: 
    label: Dark Menu
    type: toggle
  title:
    label: Title
    type: text
  description:
    label: Description
    type: text
  darktitle: 
    label: Dark Title
    type: toggle
    text: Enabled
  blocks:
    label: Areas
    type: blocks
    fieldsets:
      empty:
        label: ---
        snippet: sections/empty
        fields: 
          line:
            type: line
      area:
        label: Area
        fields:
          headline:
            label: Headline
            type: text
      cvitem:
        label: CV Item
        fields:
          timeframe:
            label: Time
            type: text
          company:
            label: Company
            type: text
          company_additional_information:
            label: Company (additional information)
            type: text
          job:
            label: Job
            type: text
          job_additional_information:
            label: Job (additional Information)
            type: text
      intro:
        label: Intro
        fields:
          initial_letter:
            label: Initial
            type: text
          intro_sentence:
            label: Intro Sentence
            type: text
          text:
            label: Text
            type: textarea

Updated my content via this (Bulk Builder field to Kirby Block 3.7 conversion - #8 by mactux) PHP script, now my cv.de.txt file contains a big field with the block content:

Iterating over that field in my template works almost well, but not entirely:

This is my main template for blocks-containing pages:

<?php snippet('header'); ?>


<div class="container">

	<?php foreach($page->blocks()->toBlocks() as $block): ?>

	<?php echo ($block->type()); ?>

	  <?php snippet('sections/' . $block->type(), ['block' => $block]) ?>
	  
	<?php endforeach ?>



<?php    if (($kirby->language()->code() == "de") && ($page->slug() == "data-protection")) {
    snippet("activities");
    snippet("sections/empty");
} ?>
	<?= snippet("anchor"); ?>

</div>


<?php snippet('footer'); ?>

And this would be the template - area.php - for the first headline:

<div class="row" style="margin-bottom: 3em;">
	<div class="col-sm-4">
	</div>
	<div class="col-sm-8">
		<h2>
	<?= $block->headline() ?>
</h2>
</div>
</div>

… and this is where the problem occurs:

Call to undefined method Kirby\Editor\Block::headline()

It seems that the block doesn’t end up in the template as a proper structure.

var_dump($block)

outputs:

object(Kirby\Editor\Block)#430 (8) { ["attrs":protected]=> object(Kirby\Cms\Content)#431 (0) { } ["content":protected]=> object(Kirby\Cms\Field)#432 (1) { ["content"]=> array(1) { ["headline"]=> string(44) "Akademischer und
beruflicher Werdegang " } } ["id":protected]=> string(36) "3bc5d26c-edb4-498f-a7c8-01ef3f547ed2" ["options":protected]=> array(0) { } ["params":protected]=> NULL ["parent":protected]=> object(Kirby\Cms\Page)#308 (15) { ["children"]=> object(Kirby\Cms\Pages)#473 (0) { } ["content"]=> object(Kirby\Cms\Content)#328 (5) { ["title"]=> string(2) "CV" ["darkmenu"]=> string(4) "true" ["description"]=> ...

… so it does seem to have the “Block” class. But it doesn’t have the substructure (->headline()) it should have?

Thanks for any leads :slight_smile:

$block should be a Kirby\Cms\Block object, not an Editor object.

Wondering where you get the Editor class from, you are migrating from the old builder field according to your topic headline?

Is the Editor plugin installed?

Hi Sonja,

yes, I migrate from the old builder field. And the Editor plugin is installed:

Should I do something about that?

All the best, and thank you

Yep, the first step would be to remove the Editor plugin
