Panel section query

[jarneuyt]

I have a collection page, where you can create artwork (collection item).
Every artwork is linked to an artist.
Could I list all the artworks on page “Collection” (kirby panel), grouped by artist?
I can already sort by “artist asc”, but I would love this instead:

• show the artist name “christel” (instead of “Published”)
• list her artworks below
• show artist name 2 “…”
• list his artworks below

Can I accomplish this?
How can I loop like this inside a blueprint?

I think this can be accomplished, but not out of the box. You would need a custom section that would then consist of subsections.

Since you don’t know the number of artists in advance, setting them up as separate sections in the blueprint doesn’t make sense.

[jarneuyt]

Hmm. Could I maybe look at it from a different angle?
Every artist has an artistpage, could I fetch his/her artwork items there?
How so?

[texnixe]

Yes, that would be possible. Again, not with a standard pages section because they don’t allow filtering, but should work with this plugin: https://github.com/rasteiner/k3-pagesdisplay-section.

Thanks, this was helpful, I’m not 100% there yet though…
How can I add dynamic parameters into my blueprint?
“steve” should be replaced by the GET ‘artiesten’ from the url…

[texnixe]

That’s not possible, but could be solved with a Page method, see this example: Querying information to display

@texnixe What am I doing wrong here?

[texnixe]

As I said above, you can’t use variables inside the filterBy() method, you would have to create a page model

[jarneuyt]

But how do I apply the page model inside my blueprint? Could you steer me in the right direction?

[texnixe]

query: page.getCollection()

Then in your model

public function getCollection() {
  return $pages.index.filterby('artist', $this->title()); // or wherever the artist is stored
}

Please post code as code snippets in the future, never as images.

@texnixe

return pages.index.filterby(‘artist’, $this->title());

This gives me an error:
Use of undefined constant pages - assumed ‘pages’ (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)

[texnixe]

Sorry, copied your blueprint code without adding the $, should be $pages of course. Maybe that variable is not even available in the model, then use

$this->site()->index()...
