Possible to put a snippet inside a block?

The CMS Questions

I have an event.php block. I’d like to add a snippet to the block. Is this possible?

Here’s a simple version of my block

<div class="event">
	<?= $block->event_description()->kirbytext() ?>
	<?php snippet('button-snippet') ?>
</div>

And my template uses:

<?= $page->events()->toBlocks() ?>

Please describe the problem you are facing.

Hi. Is it possible to have a snippet inside a block? If so, how is it done? I just get a PHP error “Block error: “Undefined variable $block” in block type: “event”” and the blocks are not displaying.

It works fine without <?php snippet('button-snippet') ?> but when I add this the blocks stop displaying.

Thanks

Then you probably use a variable in your snippet, without having passed it to the snippet from the block snippet calling it, see Snippets | Kirby CMS.

I appear to have got it working


<div class="book-button">
	<?php $buttonText = $block->button_text()->or('Book')->esc(); ?>

	<?php if ($block->button_link()->isNotEmpty()): ?>
		<a href="<?= $block->button_link()->esc() ?>" target="_blank"><?= $buttonText ?></a>
	<?php elseif ($block->button_email()->isNotEmpty()): ?>
		<a href="mailto:<?= $block->button_email()->esc() ?>"><?= $buttonText ?></a>
	<?php else: ?>
		<a href="mailto:"><?= $buttonText ?></a>
	<?php endif; ?>
</div>

And the block code linking to the snippet

<?php snippet('button-block-snippet', ['block' => $block]) ?>
