New to Kirby - How do I edit the showcase snippet to fit my own site structure?

Kirby 2 Solved ✅
1

My site uses this structure in place of “projects”:

home/artworks/artwork1
home/artworks/artwork2
etc

I naively assumed I could replace “project” and “projects” string in the showcase snippet but this breaks the page and throws up an error. I have templates in place for artworks and artwork, which worked until I inserted my edited code.

The reason I need to do this is I need to categorize my portfolio at the top level, instead of having everything lumped into one.

<?php
$projects = page('artworks')->children()->visible();

/*

The $limit parameter can be passed to this snippet to
display only a specified amount of projects:


<?php snippet('showcase', ['limit' => 3]) ?>

*/



if(isset($limit)) $artworks = $artworks->limit($limit);

?>

<ul class="showcase grid gutter-1">

  <?php foreach($artworks as $artwork): ?>

    <li class="showcase-item column">
        <a href="<?= $project->url() ?>" class="showcase-link">
          <?php if($image = $artwork->images()->sortBy('sort', 'asc')->first()): $thumb = $image->crop(600, 600); ?>
            <img src="<?= $thumb->url() ?>" alt="Thumbnail for <?= $artwork->title()->html() ?>" class="showcase-image" />
          <?php endif ?>
          <div class="showcase-caption">
            <h3 class="showcase-title"><?= $artwork->title()->html() ?></h3>
          </div>
        </a>
    </li>

  <?php endforeach ?>

Whats the error?

Also if you are using page() function https://getkirby.com/docs/cheatsheet/helpers/page then you need to specify whole URI.

It seems like you should put it page(‘home/artworks’) if your folder structure is as you say (home/artworks).

And the second problem: you define $projects but then use $artworks in the loop:

<?php
$artworks = page('home/artworks')->children()->visible();
if(isset($limit)) $artworks = $artworks->limit($limit);

?>

<ul class="showcase grid gutter-1">

  <?php foreach($artworks as $artwork): ?>

    <li class="showcase-item column">
        <a href="<?= $artwork->url() ?>" class="showcase-link">
          <?php if($image = $artwork->images()->sortBy('sort', 'asc')->first()): $thumb = $image->crop(600, 600); ?>
            <img src="<?= $thumb->url() ?>" alt="Thumbnail for <?= $artwork->title()->html() ?>" class="showcase-image" />
          <?php endif ?>
          <div class="showcase-caption">
            <h3 class="showcase-title"><?= $artwork->title()->html() ?></h3>
          </div>
        </a>
    </li>

  <?php endforeach ?>

Thanks. I fixed that mistake - page no longer broken. But now there’s no image displayed at all

5

Are there any images in the artwork1 etc folders?

6

Yes, there’s images in there. They’re displayed fine on pages using my artwork template. However, nothing is rendered after the “artworks php” on my artworks page:

to clarify, all my PHP is inside the “grid” div

8

Could you please do a dump after the first line

<?php
$artworks = page('home/artworks')->children()->visible();
dump($artworks);

if(isset($limit)) $artworks = $artworks->limit($limit);

?>

I get this rendered on the page when I do that:

Children Object
(
)
10

Hm, looks as if the page home/artworks does not have any children. Is this some sort of misunderstanding regarding the structure, maybe?

The current code assumes that you have a subpage “artworks” in the home folder, and each artwork is a folder within the artworks parent folder.

11

Currently I have one artwork folder while I work on the site:

home/artworks/artwork

Within the artwork folder I’ve got the text file and some images

12

Is the artwork folder visible (i.e. does it have a prepended number): 1_artwork1? If not, either make it visible, or remove the visible() method:

$artworks = page('home/artworks')->children();

That worked, thanks!
