Template Field Locked #143

Closed petephm closed 10 years ago

petephm commented 10 years ago

I can't seem to be able to select the templates I want to use when creating a new page in the panel?

That happens when you only got one blueprint or you restrict the usable blueprints for subpages.

@peterph-am I think I had the same issue initially, I couldn't choose a template at the top ("Site") level. Then I noticed in the Starterkit the site.php blueprint contains "pages: default" so you can only create the default content type, which a "Page". If your issue is the same, change it to "pages: true" and you'll be able to create any content under "Site".

bastianallgeier commented 10 years ago

Oh, now I get it. In case of the starterkit it makes sense to limit new subpages to the default blueprint, but I understand that this might be confusing for beginners. Any suggestions how to make it clearer?

malvese commented 10 years ago

Perhaps you could add another blueprint, perhaps a simple blog, so in site.php we would have

pages: template: - default - blogpost

(Can't indent in comments it seems) It would show that we can decide what appears, even at the Site level.

petephm commented 10 years ago

Oh okay, yes changing pages: default to true did the trick. Yeah I agree with @malvese having another template option in the site blueprint would help make this clearer.

Alternatively, it could be useful if the admin panel just had a little warning when you click the lock with a reasoning for it. Deducing that this was the problem from a unclickable lock was probably the hardest part. I actually thought it was a fundamental kirby change and was glad to find this thread.

petephm commented 10 years ago

Maybe just write a note in the docs for the installation of the starterkit about this issue.

Had the same issue and I second @hyperperforator's suggestion. The lock icon isn't really self-explanatory in this context, so adding a message would definitely help.

Took me awhile to figure this out. Looked through all my blueprints, restarted my server, and a bunch of other things before googling and finding this.

I have created an issue at getkirby/starterkit#59.
