Site methods

Site methods are registered with the siteMethods extension.

Default site methods

For a full list of default site methods, please check out the Reference.

Be aware that you cannot override these default site methods with any custom site method.

Getting started

You can extend the set of defined site methods very easily in a plugin file.

/site/plugins/site-methods/index.php

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
  'siteMethods' => [
      'getSeoTitle' => function () {
          return $this->seoTitle()->isNotEmpty()? $this->seoTitle() : $this->title();
      }
  ]
]);

This example shows the basic architecture of a site method. You define the method name with the key for the siteMethods array. $this in the callback function is the $site object.

Working with method arguments

In some cases it might be helpful to be able to pass arguments to the method:

<?php dump($site->contact('Bastian Allgeier')) ?>

The definition for such a method with arguments is very straightforward:

Kirby::plugin('my/plugin', [
    'siteMethods' => [
        'contact' => function ($name = '') {
          $contact = $this->contacts()->toStructure()->findBy('name',$name);
            return $contact;
        }
    ]
]);
