Currently looking into moving from WP to Kirby for my online portfolio and ran into a question which I could not find an answer to:
In the " Asset management" video on Kirby YouTube channel, it is mentioned that you can not create multiple blueprints for files ( i.e. one for images and one for video )
• Is this still the case for Kirby 3.6?
• If so what is the approach when you have a portfolio project containing both video and images?
My portfolio projects often contains a mix of video and images so different blueprints for each would be needed.
That is probably a misunderstanding. A single file can only have one template assigned.
Different files can have different templates assigned, provided they are uploaded through different files sections or fields.
For example 2 sections:
sections:
# section for images with image template
videos:
type: files
template: image
# section for videos with video template
images:
type: files
template: video
Both templates should then restrict the type of files you can upload through each section.
Alternatively, you could use a file.create:after hook to assign a template to a file based on file type (in a section that doesn’t assign a template at all), file.create:after | Kirby CMS
