Using and creating plugins

Plugins
1

hi, i’m currently trying out kirby and am impressed by its modularity.

now i wanted to use plugins so i don’t have to do everything myself and have decided on three such plugins:
the SEO, cookieconsent and git content. everything installed via composer, the docs respected. so far all good.

i use codespace for the development and if everything fits it goes as a test on vserver.

when i now log into my panel from anywhere, i don’t see my plugins in the menu. the seo settings are not displayed in the article page. cookie banner is not displayed. the only thing visible in the panel is git content, when i click on it a white screen appears. in the system the three plugins are displayed as activated and up to date.

today i tried to code my own plugin and exactly the same problem. i see my plugin in the panel menu, i click on it, white screen.

in the console there are no errors (debug is on) in the network everything is loaded correctly with response 200. i have set folder permissions. .htaccess config tried everything.

am i doing something wrong? do i have to activate the plugins separately somewhere? i also use the kirby as a starterkit and have only made minimal changes so that no errors should occur here.

i hope you can help me or give me a tip so that i can continue tinkering. greetings from germany

Not sure what you mean when you refer to “menu”. The installed plugins are listed in the System View.

Some plugins need additional settings, e.g. the SEO plugin (there is more than one, so don’t know which one you are using) needs a blueprint setup.

So the “menu” on the left side →

If this is called “System View,” I will correct myself from now on. Thank you.

For example, with the SEO plugin from Tobimori, I followed the documentation exactly, but I don’t see anything. There are no settings and no errors.

As mentioned above, I can see my plugin and Git Content in the system view, but when I click on them, a white screen appears and there are no error codes in the console.

Next time, I will upload my plugin to GitHub and mybe you see if there’s a problem.

No, the menu is not the system view, the system view is under “System”.

Some plugins can appear in the Panel menu, when they provide a Panel View, but not all.

I have no idea if the SEO plugin is supposed to show up in the menu, I doubt it.

The seo plugin requires that you set up a tab in your page blueprints.

Regarding your own plugin, without any code I cannot check anything.
