Is it possible to prevent client, in the Panel, from reordering, renaming, duplicating or changing the status of pages?
In the Panel, on the Site page, I just want a list of the listed pages. That is locked down and can’t be messed with.
In my Site Blueprint I have a Pages Section with sortable: false. This prevents client from dragging and dropping the pages into a different order. But does not prevent client from clicking green circle and selecting a position.
No, these settings are controller by either user role permissions or page blueprint permissions, not by the section itself.
You can either:
I’ve done a search on the Kirby website for “page blueprint permissions”. I found this Page blueprint | Kirby CMS Is this what I need?
My Site Blueprint now looks like this:
title: Site
options:
changeTitle: false
sections:
listed:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
options:
sortable: false
changestatus: false
duplicate: false
move: false
sort: false
But it’s not preventing the Panel options I want it to. In fact there seems to be more options in the Panel:
Or what is a “custom section” and how do I create one? I can’t find any mention of a custom section on the Kirby website. I presume this is custom section on a Blueprint file, that would simply allow me to list the main pages of the website without allowing the client to change anything?
No, those options are not available on the section level, that’s what I tried to say above.
Custom section means that you would have to create a plugin and extend the default pages section, which would mean code something.
So what do these options do if not stop pages from being sortable, change status, duplicated, moved or sorted?
Sounds like I need to look into “user role permissions”. Thanks
Well, you can use these options on the level of the page blueprint, not inside a section. But then this will apply to any section with these pages, not only this one section. Same if you use permissions, you cannot just apply them to a single section.
Sounds promising. So can I use these options on my Site Blueprint to stop client from messing things up? On the whole Site Panel page, not just a section of the site Panel? Or if I apply this to the Site page blueprint will it apply to all pages of the website?
No, you can only use these settings in page blueprints, and they only apply to the pages which use this blueprint.
The site object itself cannot be ordered, renamed or its status changed, it’s not a page.
Okay, I think I’m going to give up and hope the client doesn’t get click happy!
Any idea why I can’t get some text fields to display in the Panel under the listed pages? Here’s my Site Blueprint code.:
title: Site
sections:
listed:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
fields:
first-term:
label: First term dates
type: text
second-term:
label: Second term dates
type: text
third-term:
label: Third term dates
type: text
Two issues:
Thanks. Still can’t get it to work
title: Site
sections:
listed:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
sections:
content:
type: fields
fields:
first term:
label: First term dates
type: text
second term:
label: Second term dates
type: text
third term:
label: Third term dates
type: text
If I remove either section it works, but I can’t seem to have two sections:
title: Site
sections:
listed:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
sections:
content:
type: fields
fields:
firstterm:
label: First term dates
type: text
secondterm:
label: Second term dates
type: text
thirdterm:
label: Third term dates
type: text
This doesn’t work either
title: Site
sections:
content:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
sections:
content:
type: fields
fields:
firstterm:
label: First term dates
type: text
secondterm:
label: Second term dates
type: text
thirdterm:
label: Third term dates
type: text
You can only ever use the same key once, so
title: Site
sections:
listed:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
content:
type: fields
fields:
# fields here
Brilliant!!! It’s worked
What does “You can only ever use the same key once” mean? I thought we could use multiple sections?
Actually, if I remove the section it no longer works. Why do I need one section, but multiple sections don’t work?
Yes, but not with the same name. So yes:
sections:
section_a:
## stuff
section_b:
# stuff
NO:
sections:
section_a:
## stuff
section_a:
# stuff
Same with tab names, column names, field names.
These are the basics, you might read up on again.
I don’t think I need sections for such a simple Blueprint, but I can’t get it to work:
title: Site
listed:
type: pages
status: listed
image: icon
label: Main pages
fields:
firstterm:
label: First term dates
type: text
secondterm:
label: Second term dates
type: text
thirdterm:
label: Third term dates
type: text
I provided the solution above, now you have removed the sections again…
Given it’s such a simply Blueprint do I need any sections at all?
If I tell you that you need sections, why do you question it?
Urm okay so I need one section to get it to work? If everything is in one section, then why do I need a section?
