README

This plugin allows you to reference other blocks. Thus, you can easily repeat a block in multiple places on your page while being able to update it in one central place.

Getting started

Use one of the following methods to install & use tearoom1/kirby-block-reference:

Git submodule

If you know your way around Git, you can download this plugin as a submodule:

git submodule add https://github.com/tearoom1/kirby-block-reference.git site/plugins/kirby-block-reference

Clone or download

Clone or download this repository from github: https://github.com/tearoom1/kirby-block-reference.git
Unzip / Move the folder to site/plugins.

Usage

Use the block by adding it to you blueprints fieldsets if they are defined:

fieldsets:
  - reference

Access Control

The plugin exposes two API routes that the panel block UI uses to look up reference targets: getAllPages (list page IDs) and blocks (return the blocks of a given page, including drafts). Both routes require a logged-in panel user; they return 401 Unauthorized for anonymous callers.

By default, only admins can use the reference picker. Non-admin roles can be allowed explicitly:

// site/config/config.php
'tearoom1.kirby-block-reference.allowedRoles' => [
    'editor',
],

The page picker and API routes also check Kirby's page read permission for every target page. Users only see pages they are allowed to read.
