Kirby Snippetfield
This field work exactly like the structure field. In fact it’s a copy of it with some important changes.
The Snippetfield does not use entry. Instead it uses snippets.
Instructions
Place the snippetfield folder in site/fields.
1. Blueprint with style: items (default)
I used the example from the docs. I have replaced entry with snippet and added style: items (just to make it clear).
fields:
addresses:
label: Addresses
type: snippetfield
snippet: mydir/snippet
style: items
fields:
street:
label: Street
type: text
zip:
label: ZIP
type: text
city:
label: City
type: text
The example above will use the snippet site/snippets/mydir/snippet.php. You can change the path in the config.php.
1. Blueprint with style: table
For the table style you need a snippet for every field.
fields:
addresses:
label: Addresses
type: snippetfield
style: table
fields:
street:
label: Street
type: text
snippet: mydir/snippet1
zip:
label: ZIP
type: text
snippet: mydir/snippet2
city:
label: City
type: text
snippet: mydir/snippet2
Config
If you don’t like the root path, you can change it in your config.php:
c::set( 'snippetfield.path', kirby()->roots()->snippets() );
2. Snippet
$page object
All the page variables are available through the $page object and you can use them like this:
echo $page->title();
$field object
To give you a hind of what it contains, do this (might be slow or crash):
print_r( $field );
$style string
If for some reason you need to have the style value you can use that.
3. Snippet with style: items (default)
If you use style: items you also have access to the $values object.
$values object
Because the output contains more than one field, all the field keys and values are in the $values object.
print_r( $values );
3. Snippets with style: table
If you use style: table you also have access to the $value string.
$value string
Because the output only contain one field, you only need a string and that is the $value string.
Snippet with style: table example
In this case I have an image field and the $value will be filename.jpg. It is actually using the thumbnail cache to generate and store a thumbnail of an image.
<img src="<?php echo thumb($page->image($value), array('width' => 150))->url(); ?>">
What is wrong with entry?
- It does not support any logic.
- Images can not be viewed as images, only as file names.
What can be done with Snippetfield?
- Use calculations and logic
- Format values
- Image galleries can be created quite easily.
- If statements. Maybe you want to display a pink elephant every time a value is true. Now you can.
- Advanced stuff could be made, like take the value, run it trough Google Analytics, get some data back and present that.
and i think you are the most activity person here who create plugins for Kirby, thanks you a loot !
