Hi there,
i was wondering wether it woulb be possible to have 2 seperate instances of modules on one page.
e.g. i have a 2 column site layout and want people to be able to customize subpages putting the available modules in the order they want and decide wether to have them in the left or right column of a page. In the backend i would mimic this 2 column setup and have a modules section to the left and right with all modules available on both sides.
so far it seems while you can display two instances of modules they mimic each other and can’t be edited seperately.
that would be my current blueprint setup:

@antonlinus Looks like we are in the wrong context here, this thread is about a Kirby 2 plugin? You are probably talking about @thguenther’s plugin.
The modules section is just a regular pages section with the parent set to the modules container /modules.
You can create two separate modules containers and overwrite the parent:
modules:
type: modules
parent: page.find("sidebar")
Just make sure this container page exists. Have a look at the Subpage builder recipe — I’m using a route:after hook.
jup sorry thought this was it
Maybe the README helps you understand how the plugin works.
It’s also always a good idea to have a look at the content files/folders. A great advantage of file-based CMS.
hm i’m sorry but it seems this exceeds my capabilities. i looked at your linked articles and adapted my blueprint accordingly. i also took your advice and looked at the content folders and i understand that whenever a module is added to a page it creates a subpage folder called modules in the page folder.
The way i understand your solution is to have kirby create seperate subfolders for the modules section in the left and the right column e.g. modules_right & modules_left.
I don’t get how i would achieve that thou. I added the parent overwrite in my blueprint but that alone didn’t do the trick it seems. I don’t get how to edit your hooks if that is what i would need to do.
Could you explain your solution in more detail?
again thanks!

That’s not correct. We need the modules container before modules can be added. It’s can be added automatically via the route:after hook.
Your blueprint looks alright. The folder structure has to look like this then:
📄 Page
📄 Subpage A
📄 Subpage B
🗂 module_links
📄 Module A
📄 Module B
🗂 module_rechts
📄 Module C
📄 Module D
To be honest I’m not sure if my modules plugin is the right fit for your use case. Maybe have a look at the builder field?
The problem is that both module sections in the blueprint above use the same key, i.e. modules. In the first blueprint, they had different keys, modules and modules2, now not anymore.

This is how you do this in your plugin correct?
Or can it be more simple as in whenever a subpage is created also create two folders (e.g. modules_left & modules_right?
'route:after' => function ($route, $path, $method) {
$uid = explode('/', $path);
$uid = end($uid);
$uid = str_replace('+', '/', $uid);
$page = kirby()->page($uid);
if ($page) {
if(!$page->find('modules') AND $page->intendedTemplate() != 'modules') {
$modules = false;
foreach($page->blueprint()->sections() as $section) {
if($section->type() == 'modules') $modules = true;
}
if($modules) {
try {
$modulesPage = $page->createChild([
'content' => ['title' => 'Modules'],
'slug' => 'modules',
'template' => 'modules'
]);
}
catch (Exception $error) {
throw new Exception($error);
}
if($modulesPage) {
$modulesPage->publish();
}
}
}
}
},
You’re using an old version of the plugin. I changed the route with version 0.6.1.
But yeah, this is the code responsible for the creation of the modules container. You can find some simpler methods in the subpage builder recipe.
and if i have my blueprint setup like in my other post (exept with different names for the modules instances) it will ignore your hook and instead create the subpages in the dedicated left & right folders?
It will not ignore my hook, but that shouldn’t be an issue.
I’d probably use the existing modules folder for the left modules and a modules_right folder. The empty modules folder won’t do anything, though.
The parent: setting on the pages sections defines where the modules will be added.
i don’t know what i am doing wrong but i just can’t get it to work 
I manually generated a “modules_right” folder in /content/mysubpage/anothersubpage/
thats where the modules folder was auto-generated as well.
i adapted my blueprint like this:

and it loads in my panel like this:
yet whenever i add a module in any of the to instances it will put the module in /content/…/…/modules and it will show up in both instances.
What am i doing wrong?
I see. Could you please try this fix I just released?
