Sort snippets inside panel

The CMS Questions
1

Hello folks,

i got another question today. SRY!
I use in my homepage 4 different sections for my content. (Testimonials, Services etc.)

Now i want to sort these snippets over the panel. The best thing would be by “drag and drop” these snippets like i do which subpages or if i use the snippetfield plugin. I couldnt figure out a way yet.
Has someone done the same before?

Thank you so much!
Florian

How are the section stored? As subpages, modules, structure entries?

They are stored as structure entries

Structure entries are sortable via drag and drop.

ok then i descriped it the wrong way. I use different structures for every section.

For example i use for my services follwing blueprint:

     services:
       label: Services
        type: snippetfield
        style: table
        fields:
          servicename:
            label: Title
            type:  text
            width: 1/2
            required: true
          description: 
            label: Description
            type: textarea
            required: true
          url:
            label: URL
            type:  url
            width: 1/2
            help: Button url
            required: true
          switchNew:
            label: NEW Label
            type: switch
            texts: 
              - shown
              - hidden
            width: 1/2
            help: Adds a Label

And the snippetfield for another section looks different cause i have to user other fields.

I see. Maybe you can use the Kirby Sortable plugin, I’m not sure. Another option would be to an additional structure field with a select for each snippet.

Ok that was also my idea to add an additional snippetfield.
But i couldnt figure out how i can use that cause i call my snippets like normal in my home.php

<?php snippet('home/services') ?>

so how can i connect my snippets to that additional snippetfield.
Hope u understand it… im very bad in describing.

Structure field

snippets:
  label: Snippets
  type: structure
  fields:
    select_snippet:
      label: Select a snippet
      type: select
      options:
        services: services
        testimonials: testimonials
        whatever: whatever

In your home template:

<?php

$snippets = $page->snippets()->structure():

foreach($snippets as snippet) {
  snippet('home/' . $snippet->select_snippet());
}

That helped me a lot :star_struck:
