Kirby Panel and Blueprints

KB entry points

  • kirby://kb/scenarios/06-blueprints-reuse-extends
  • kirby://kb/scenarios/19-programmable-blueprints
  • kirby://kb/scenarios/53-panel-first-custom-field
  • kirby://kb/scenarios/54-panel-first-custom-section
  • kirby://kb/panel/reference-fields
  • kirby://kb/panel/panel-bundling-decisions

Required inputs

  • Content model and required fields.
  • Panel UX (tabs/sections/layout) and validation rules.
  • Whether to extend an existing blueprint.

Minimal blueprint skeleton

title: Example
status:
  draft: true
  listed: true
fields:
  title:
    type: text
  text:
    type: textarea

Extends example

extends: pages/default

Common pitfalls

  • Duplicating fields instead of using extends.
  • Implementing Panel UI logic in templates instead of blueprints or plugins.

Workflow

  1. Clarify the content model, required fields, and Panel UX expectations.
  2. Call kirby:kirby_init and read kirby://roots.
  3. Inspect existing blueprints and patterns:
    • kirby:kirby_blueprints_index
    • kirby:kirby_blueprint_read
  4. Use Panel reference resources for field/section choices:
    • kirby://fields
    • kirby://sections
  5. Check plugin surface when custom Panel UI is needed:
    • kirby:kirby_plugins_index
    • kirby://extensions
  6. Search the KB with kirby:kirby_search (examples: "blueprints reuse extends", "programmable blueprints", "custom panel field", "custom panel section", "panel branding").
  7. Implement minimal, convention-aligned YAML/PHP; prefer extends and shared sections over duplication.
  8. Validate by re-reading the blueprint (kirby:kirby_blueprint_read) and verifying frontend output with kirby:kirby_render_page when relevant.
