Kirby Punctuation Section

This plugin provides a simple, customizable section for your Kirby project from which your customers can quickly add punctuation to their text or writer fields.

By default, clicking one of the punctuation buttons will insert the character at the current cursor position of a text or writer field.

Features

• ♟️ Collect your favourite punctuation characters
• 🪡 Insert characters at the current cursor position
• 🖊️ Optionally paste characters to your clipboard
• 🌐 Fully Translatable

Requirements

Note

The current version of this plugin requires Kirby 4 or higher. For Kirby 3 support, please use version 2 of Kirby Punctuation Section.

Installation

Composer

composer require johannschopplich/kirby-punctuation-section

Download

Download and copy this repository to /site/plugins/kirby-punctuation-section.

Usage

To get started, create a sections/punctuation.yml file in your blueprints folder and add the characters you want to use to the chars array. A bare minimum section example looks like this:

type: punctuation
label: Punctuations
fieldsets:
  - category:
    label: German Quotation Marks
    chars:
      - „
      - ‚
      - ‘
      - “
    help: This is a description for the category

After that, you can add the section to your blueprint like this:

sections:
  punctuation: sections/punctuation

Clipboard API

Instead of inserting the given character at the current cursor position, you can also copy it to your clipboard by setting the clipboard option to true:

type: punctuation
label: Punctuations
clipboard: true

Note

The Clipboard API is only available for secure contexts, it cannot be used on non-HTTPS pages.

Setting a browser flag can allow HTTP pages to be interpreted as secure, which can be useful for local development.

Label Translations & Help Texts

Just like other Kirby built-in sections, the label and help fields can be translated.

Take a look at the section blueprint below for a full fledged example:

type: punctuation
label:
  de: Kleine Interpunktionshilfe
  en: Lil Punctuation Helper
fieldsets:
  - category:
    label:
      de: Apostroph
      en: Apostrophe
    chars:
      - ’
    help:
      de: Das ist eine Beschreibung der Kategorie
      en: This is a description for the category
  - category:
    label:
      de: Gedankenstrich
      en: Hyphen
