How to show the content of a shared md-file in a layout file?

[markushuebner]

Hi all,
following situation:

yellow
--content
----2-test
------page.md
----shared
------info.md

to show the content of the page.md one uses within default.html

<?php echo $this->yellow->page->getContentHtml() ?>

I found #848 so

that one
<?php echo $this->yellow->content->find("/shared/")->getContent() ?>
only works with a file page.md located within the folder shared. But, what if I would like to use that specific info.md?
<?php echo $this->yellow->content->find("/shared/")->getPage("info")->getContent(); ?>
or
<?php echo $this->yellow->content->find("/shared/")->getPage("info")->getContentHtml(); ?>
do not end with an error message but deliver just "blanc" - what of course is not what I am looking for.

I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

Greetings,

Markus

Hello Markus. The class YellowPage let's you access shared pages.

Here's an example layout file system/layouts/default.html:

<?php $this->yellow->layout("header") ?>
<div class="content">
<div class="main" role="main">
<h1><?php echo $this->yellow->page->getHtml("titleContent") ?></h1>
<?php echo $this->yellow->page->getPage("info")->getContentHtml() ?>
<?php echo $this->yellow->page->getContentHtml() ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php $this->yellow->layout("footer") ?>

Here's an example content file content/shared/info.md:

---
Title: Info
Status: shared
---

There are possibly other ways to do this with the API. Please note that shared content files need Status: shared at the top of a page. The core checks this in parseMetaDataShared() when making a list of shared pages. Hope this helps and happy coding.

Thanks a lot Mark!

Please note that shared content files need Status: shared at the top of a page.

THAT was the point I missed! I just started with yellow and bäm, fell into a newbie-trap...

Thanks a lot for your feedback. By the way, I have thought multiple times about removing that page setting. It dates back to a time when you could have shared pages in any content folder, not just in the shared content folder. Maybe it's time to remove that page setting, at the moment it's there for performance reasons. Something to discuss in the next API review.

Done, that setting is no longer needed in latest core. Shared content files automatically have Status: shared.
