Informations about the package wn-pagebuilder-skeleton-plugin
Mercator Page Builder
This is a WinterCMS plugin that allows you to create custom page builders for Winter's Static Pages. It has been tested with WinterCMS 1.1.3.
Installation - Composer
Configuration
Page Builder Definition
The plugin will allow you to define indvidual elements that the user can configure in the backend. On the frontend, the elements will then be rendered as defined in user-defined templates.
The available elements are defined in a single YAML file, wich is locates in components/partials/_pagebuilder.yaml. As a starting point, the YAML could look as follows:
This would provide for two elements, richtext and markdown. You can extend/replace the YAML as required.
Page Builder Element Rendering
For each element defined in the above YAML, create a partial in components/partials that renders it. For example, for richtext, create a richtext.htm, which could look as follows
You can reference the individual attributes defined in the YAML as per the above, e.g., "element.header" holds the H1.
Page Builder Interaction
There is one more file that needs attention: components/pagebuilder/default.htm:
This file renders the individual Page Builder Elements that have been defined - typically one after the other.
You will need to adapt this, e.g., enhance it with CSS and alike in line with the frontend library you are using.
Layout File
Create a layout file, the below is the most simple example. It will basically call the code you have just seen above.
Using it
Create a new Static Page. In the secondary tab wou should now see tab "Page Builder" and in there a button on the bottom reading "ADD PAGE BUILDER CPOMPONENT". Just press it - the rest should be clear.
One more thing... Site-wide settings
If your plugin requires site-wide/plugin-wide settimgs, these can be defined in the backend. You just need to add respective field defintions to models/settings/pagebuilder.yaml.
Next Steps
This is just a simple example of how this works. This Plugin is NOT production ready and the next version will over-write the YAML and the components that you have defined. Suggest not to auto update. The next version will cater for a more user-friendly version.
