Kirby Alternate Snippets
========================

[](#kirby-alternate-snippets)

This [Kirby CMS](https://www.getkirby.com)-Plugin applies custom snippets based on slugs.

Summary
-------

[](#summary)

- Replaces any snippet for a given slug
- Supports descendant pathes
- Supports multilanguage-setups
- Advantages:
    - Control of the frontend output (aka "Art Direction") without content/data-changes in the backend
- Disadvantages:
    - In case of slug-changes the snippets must be renamed according the current path

Prerequisites
-------------

[](#prerequisites)

- Kirby 4+

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Download

[](#download)

Download and copy this repository to `/site/plugins/kirby-alternate-snippets`.

### Git submodule

[](#git-submodule)

```
git submodule add https://github.com/swiegmann/kirby-alternate-snippets.git site/plugins/kirby-alternate-snippets

Use-Case
--------

[](#use-case)

You have a snippet-file, e.g. `/site/snippets/header.php` and want to use a custom snippet for a given slug, e.g. `domain.com/some-path/another-path`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Copy the snippet file with one of the following filenames to apply the snippet to

#### ... exactly the slug:

[](#-exactly-the-slug)

```
/site/snippets/[snippet-name]--[slug].php

```

*e.g.: /site/snippets/header--news.php*.

You can always apply it to deeper slug-pathes:

```
/site/snippets/[snippet-name]--[slug]--[slug].php

```

*e.g.: /site/snippets/header--news--culture.php.*

#### ... the slug and all subpages of the path:

[](#-the-slug-and-all-subpages-of-the-path)

```
/site/snippets/[snippet-name]--[slug]--.php

```

*e.g.: site/snippets/header--news--.php*.

#### ... exactly the slug for a specific language:

[](#-exactly-the-slug-for-a-specific-language)

```
/site/snippets/[snippet-name]--[slug]--[language-code].php

```

*e.g.: site/snippets/header--news--en.php*.

#### ... the slug and all subpages of path for a specific language:

[](#-the-slug-and-all-subpages-of-path-for-a-specific-language)

```
/site/snippets/[snippet-name]--[slug]--[language-code]--.php

```

*e.g.: site/snippets/header--news--en--.php*.
