Hey there.
I have to explain: The template is collecting blocks with content from several users. It would be good, to notify them, if someone added a block, because the next one has to react on it.
How would I build the trigger for that operation?
I think this would be a start, right?
In a controller you wouldn’t know if the content has changed. You could use a page.update:after hook and check if the number of blocks has changed. Inside the hook you have access to the old and the new version of the page. This is not possible in a controller.
Ah. I see.
So it has to be in /site/config/config.php?page.update:after hook.
Hooks can be registered in the config or in a plugin, that’s up to you.

Almost.
With this I already achieve that it tries to do something, if I add a block:
return [
'debug' => true,
'hooks' => [
'page.update:after' => function ($newPage, $oldPage) {
if ( $oldPage->artwork()->isNotEmpty() ) {
if ($oldPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() < $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() ) {
try {
$kirby->email([
'to' => 'hallo@url.de',
'template' => 'new-block',
]);
} catch (Exception $error) {
echo $error;
}
// code...
}
}
}
]
but it throws me an error in line 25 (here it is $kirby->email([) . More I can’t read from it.
The first if is to check, if the toBlocks Element exists and if I am on the right page.
$kirby is not available inside the hook (only in templates/snippets), you can use the kirby() helper instead.
Instead of checking if the field is empty, I would check for the correct intended template of the page.
You mean this:
Ok. no error anymore!
So I made a template for the mail, and this config code:
return [
'debug' => true,
'hooks' => [
'page.update:after' => function ($newPage, $oldPage) {
if ( $oldPage->artwork()->isNotEmpty() ) {
if ($oldPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() < $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() ) {
$from = new \Kirby\Cms\User([
'email' => 'hallo@url.de',
'name' => 'Gadu Gadu',
]);
try {
$this->email([
'from' => $from,
'to' => 'hallo@url.de',
'template' => 'new-block',
'subject' => 'Welcome!',
]);
} catch (Exception $error) {
echo $error;
}
}
}
}
]
];
About this:
Sure! You mean like that: ->findBy('intendedTemplate', 'template')
No, not find by, but
if ($oldPage->intendedTemplate()->name() === 'sometemplate') {
// do stuff
}
Because you probably don’t want to to this for any page but only particular pages.
And as regards sending the email, have you set up your email transport configuration in your config?
I thought that is optional, but as I think about it, it makes sense that it is obligatory. But it does not work though…
return [
'debug' => true,
'email' => [
'transport' => [
'type' => 'smtp',
'host' => 'send.one.com',
'port' => 465,
'security' => true,
'auth' => true,
'username' => 'myusername',
'password' => 'my-pw',
]
],
'hooks' => [
'page.update:after' => function ($newPage, $oldPage) {
if ($oldPage->intendedTemplate()->name() === 'channel') {
if ($oldPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() < $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() ) {
$from = new \Kirby\Cms\User([
'email' => 'hallo@url.de',
'name' => 'Gadu Gadu',
]);
try {
$this->email([
'from' => $from,
'to' => 'hallo@url.de',
'template' => 'new-block',
'subject' => 'Welcome!',
]);
} catch (Exception $error) {
echo $error;
}
}
}
}
]
];
No idea what I do wrong here.
exeldoc:
$this->email([
You are using $this when not in object context. As I already wrote above, you have to use the kirby() helper here:
kirby()->email([
texnixe:
kirby()->email([
Ah now I got it. Thanks for clarifying.
I could not get it running with the email transport, but removing it and just put an ‘email’ works out of the sudden. Anyway, for documentation here is a working code snippet.
site/config/config.php:
<?php
return [
'debug' => true,
'hooks' => [
'page.update:after' => function ($newPage, $oldPage) {
if ($oldPage->intendedTemplate()->name() === 'channel') {
if ($oldPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() < $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->count() ) {
$lastwork = $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->last();
try {
kirby()->email([
'template' => 'new-block',
'from' => 'hallo@url.de',
'to' => 'hallo@url.de',
'subject' => 'New work for you to answer',
'data' => [
'name' => $lastwork->author()->firstname(),
'nextname' => $lastwork->nextartist()->name(),
'link' => $newPage->url(),
'channel' => $newPage->title(),
'date' => $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->last()->date(),
'time' => $newPage->artwork()->toBlocks()->last()->time(),
]
]);
} catch (Exception $error) {
echo $error;
}
}
}
}
]
];
