Plugin snippet output emtpy

The CMS Questions

So, I’ve created a custom FAQ block as described in Block factory: Creating your own blocks collection | Kirby CMS

Now, I would assume in the page template I’d only have to do <?= $page->fieldname()->toBlocks() ?> and it would print the HTML that is stored in the block snippets templates but on my page it’s not printing anything. If I do <?php dump($page->fieldname()) ?> it outputs a field object with all the content and if I do <?php dump($page->fieldname()->toBlocks()) ?> it outputs a blocks object with the appropriate amount of items. Why isn’t it printing the snippet code?

Here’s the relevant code:

// ~/site/plugins/faq/index.php
Kirby::plugin('example/faq-block', [
	'blueprints' => [
		'blocks/accordion' => __DIR__ . '/blueprints/blocks/accordion.yml',
		'blocks/faq' => __DIR__ . '/blueprints/blocks/faq.yml'
	],
	'snippets' => [
		'blocks/accordion' => __DIR__ . '/snippets/blocks/accordion.php',
		'blocks/faq' => __DIR__ . '/snippets/blocks/faq.php'
	]
]);

# ~/site/plugins/faq/blueprints/blocks/accordion.yml
name: "Accordion"
icon: bars
fields:
	summary:
		label: Summary
		type: writer
		placeholder: Enter question …
	details:
		label: Detail
		type: writer
		marks: true

<!-- ~/site/plugins/faq/snippets/blocks/accordion.php -->
<?php if($block->summary()->isNotEmpty()): ?>
	<details class="accordion-details">
		<summary class="accordion-summary"><?= $block->summary() ?></summary>
		<div class="accordion-text"><?= $block->details() ?></div>
	</details>
<?php endif; ?>

# ~/site/plugins/faq/blueprints/blocks/faq.yml
name: "FAQ List"
icon: question
fields:
	heading:
		label: "Section heading"
		type: writer
		inline: true
		marks: false
	faq:
		label: FAQ
		type: blocks
		fieldsets:
			- accordion

<!-- ~/site/plugins/faq/snippets/blocks/faq.php -->
<?php $faqItems = $block->faq()->toBlocks(); ?>
<div class="faq-section">
	<?php if($faqItems->isNotEmpty()): ?>
		<h2><?= $block->heading() ?></h2>
		<?= $faqItems ?>
	<?php endif; ?>
</div>

And my actual page blueprint and template (reduced):

title: FAQ

fields:
  content:
    type: blocks
    fieldsets:
      - faq

<main>
	<article>
		<h2><?= $page->title() ?></h2>
		<?= $page->content()->toBlocks() ?> <!-- nothing is printed here -->
	</article>
</main>
…

I can manually loop over the blocks object and add the relevant HTML but there should be some default output from the plugin, shouldn’t there?

The problem is your field name. content is a native Kirby method, use $page->content()->get('content')->toBlocks().

Well, to be honest, the actual field name is “inhalt” but I wanted to make it understandable for the international audience. :slight_smile: So, it’s $page->inhalt()->toBlocks() that doesn’t output anything.

Are the paths correct, looks contracdictory…

Not a good idea in this case…

Oops, sorry, typo in the post; I’ve corrected it. The files are indeed in the blocks directory inside the snippets directory inside the FAQ plugin directory.
