Workshop

Installing

• Unzip and place the Workshop directory into /site/addons.
• Yeah, that's it.

Usage

All Workshop Tags follow the same pattern: {{ workshop:noun:verb }}. So for example, if you want to create an entry, use workshop:entry:create. Pretty straight forward.

When editing, if you don't specify a url or id to edit, it will assume the current URL.

Tags

• workshop:entry:create
• workshop:entry:edit
• workshop:entry:delete
• workshop:page:create
• workshop:page:edit
• workshop:page:delete
• workshop:global:edit

Entry:Create

When creating an entry, the only required parameter is the name of the collection.

{{ workshop:entry:create collection="words" }}
    <input type="text" name="title" value="{{ old:title }}">
    <textarea name="content">{{ old:content }}</textarea>
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:entry:create }}

Entry:Edit

You can use id or url to pick which entry to edit. If unset, will assume current URL.

{{ workshop:entry:edit id="123abc" }}
    <input type="text" name="title" value="{{ title }}">
    <textarea name="content">{{ content }}</textarea>
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:entry:edit }}

Entry:Delete

You can use id or url to pick which entry to delete. If unset, will assume current URL.

{{ workshop:entry:delete id="123abc" }}
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:entry:delete }}

Page:Create

If you don't set a parent param/value, will create a top-level Page.

{{ workshop:page:create parent="about" }}
    <input type="text" name="title" value="{{ old:title }}">
    <textarea name="content">{{ old:content }}</textarea>
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:page:create }}

Page:Edit

You can use id or url to pick which page to edit. If unset, will assume current URL.

{{ workshop:page:edit id="987xyz" }}
    <input type="text" name="title" value="{{ title }}">
    <textarea name="content">{{ content }}</textarea>
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:page:create }}

Page:Delete

You can use id or url to pick which page to delete. If unset, will assume current URL.

{{ workshop:page:delete id="123abc" }}
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:page:delete }}

Global:Edit

Give the set name to pick which Global set to edit. If unset, will assume the base default global.

{{ workshop:global:edit set="company" }}
    <input type="text" name="site_name" value="{{ site_name }}">
    <input type="submit">
{{ /workshop:global:edit }}

Parameters

All tags respect the same parameters, given the appropriate context. Each parameter may instead be set as a form input field, but the parameter will always override. For safety.

id

The page or entry's ID to edit. Will default to current URL if not set.

collection

The handle/slug of collection. Required if creating/editing entries.

fieldset

Will fall back to the appropriate default fieldset if not set.

url

When editing, you can pass the URL of the file you want to edit.

date

If working with a date ordered Collection. Defaults to today.

order

If working with pages or ordered Collections, sets the order.

set

If working with Globals, the Globalset name.

parent

Sets the parent page, when creating Pages.

published

Sets the published state. Defaults to true.

slug

Sets the slug of the entry or page.

slugify

Assigns a field to be automatically slugified to make the slug.

attr

Set any HTML attributes on the <form> tag. You can set multiple by pipe delimiting them. eg. attr="class:pretty-form|id:contact"

redirect

The location your user will be taken after a successful form submission. If left blank, the user will stay on the same page.

files

Whether the form should accept file uploads. (It adds enctype="multipart/form-data" to your form tag) See file uploads for more details.

Variables

old

An array of previous form input data, used for repopulating the form after a submission with errors, without losing your input. E.g. {{ old:title }}, {{ old:content }}.

success

This will be true if the form was submitted successfully.

errors

An array of error messages returned by validation, so you can loop over all of them. For example:

{{ if errors }}
    <div class="errors">
        <p>Oh no! There were some errors:</p>
        <ul>
            {{ errors }}
                <li>{{ value }}
            {{ /errors }}
        </ul>
 
        or...
 
        {{ errors | ul }}
    </div>
{{ /if }}

error

An array of error messages returned by validation, keyed by field name so you can reference them directly. Useful for inline errors. For example:

<input type="text" name="title" value="{{ old:value }}" />
{{ if error:title }}<span class="error">{{ error:title }}</span>{{ /if }}

Settings

All settings can be managed in the Addons > Workshop > Settings screen, or by setting them in site/addons/workshop.yaml. The defaults all lean towards security over flexibility.

enforce_auth

Only allow Workshop features to work when logged in. Defaults to true.

whitelist

Only save data in fields that match those in your fieldset. Defaults to true.

File Uploads

First up, add files="true" to your form tag. (This will add enctype="multipart/form-data" to the generated <form> tag. That’s always so difficult to remember.)

{{ workshop:entry:edit files="true" }}
    ...
{{ /workshop:entry:edit }}

Then add a file input for your corresponding asset field.

fields:
  my_image_field:
    type: assets
    max_files: 1

<input type="file" name="my_image_field" />

Multiple files

For asset fields with a max_files setting greater than 1 (or not set at all), you can indicate an array by adding square brackets to the input name.

Image One: <input type="file" name="my_image_field[]" />
Image Two: <input type="file" name="my_image_field[]" />

Troubleshooting

Submitting checkboxes or other array-type values are treated as strings

Be sure that the input's name attribute contains a pair of brackets.

<input type="checkbox" name="choices[]" value="first">
<input type="checkbox" name="choices[]" value="second">

If you leave off the brackets, the form will only submit the last value.

My file upload isn't being validated correctly.
or, My file is not being uploaded, it's just saving the filename.

Make sure you've added files="true" to your tag pair. File inputs will just submit a filename unless you do this.
