Traversing content outside of templates

The CMS Questions
3

That’s exactly what I was looking for! I searched github and this forum - I didn’t think to check the old one.
Since it’s not going to be around forever I’ll paste in the relevant post:

Method 1

<?php
require_once "kirby/toolkit/vendors/yaml/yaml.php";              // Kirby's built-in YAML parser based from Spyc
$Data = spyc_load_file('content/site.txt');              // loads the file to be parsed by this parser
echo $Data['Title'];              // outputs      "Kirby Starter Kit"
?>

Method 1 parses the site.txt file directly to get values.

Method 2 (RECOMMENDED)

<?php
define('DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

// load kirby
require(DIR . DS . 'kirby' . DS . 'bootstrap.php');

$kirby = kirby();
$site = $kirby->site();
?>

Method 2 uses kirby’s syntax to get the value. This is an official answer from Bastian, this is why it’s recommended, however, you can use either of the two.

All the best,
Phoenix Peca
