Plain PHP Snippets

In case you want to develop a new extension or use PHP in your templates, the collection of common code snippets below might help you getting started quickly.

Context and Pages

Getting the current page:

$Page = $Automad->Context->get();

Get any page by its local URL:

$Page = $Automad->getPage('/url');

Getting the page title or any other variable:

$title = $Page->get('title');

Shared Content

Getting the site's name or any other shared variable:

$sitename = $Automad->Shared->get('sitename');

Applying String Functions

Render a Markdown variable:

$text = $Page->get('text');
$output = \Automad\Core\Str::markdown($text);

Sanitize a variable:

$text = $Page->get('text');
$output = \Automad\Core\Str::sanitize($text);

More string functions can be found here.

Pagelists

To configure a pagelist and get the resulting page objects, you can do the following:

$Pagelist = $Automad->getPagelist();
$config = array('type' => 'children');
$Pagelist->config($config);
$pages = $Pagelist->getPages();

You can iterate the $pages array as follows to get each page object:

foreach ($pages as $Page) {
    echo '<p>' . $Page->get('title') . '</p>';
}
