📚 a frontend for kirby plugins

Primary LanguageVue

About

Kirby is a file-based CMS by Bastian Allgeier. Unlike other systems such as ModX, Typo3 or even Wordpress, it can be set up quickly and yet is very flexible. It also allows extensions using plugins.

This page is a frontend for the great plugin collection of Jens Törnell Sonja Broda on Github. Since Github itself is only moderately usable and I always wanted to implement a project with Vue.js, I took the opportunity and built a frontend myself using the Github API.

You can read more about it on my blog: https://flore.nz/blog/kirby-directory

FAQ

Who are you?

I am Florenz Heldermann and an independent frontend developer from Bremen, Germany. More information can be found on my site, blog or on Twitter. On LinkedIn and Xing I can also be found, but don't even get the idea to reach me there in a timely manner.

How can I add my plugin?

Not here at all. Please go to the plugin repository on Github and add an issue. The issue should have a title, a short summary and a link to your Github repository.

I have a problem with Plugin XYZ!!!!1111oneeleven

Don't ask me, ask the plugin author.

I have a problem with Kirby. Can you help me?

No! That's what the Kirby Support Forum is for.

What was this site built with?

This site was built using Vue.js, vue-cli (with webpack-simple), VueMarkdown and the Github Api.

Um... So no Kirby?

Right. This page is currently the only page I have written by myself. Probably as soon as Kirby 3 (with the new built-in Rest API) is released I will use a Kirby installation as backend.

Your code sucks!

I know. I'm still learning. You can write me an E-mail or create a pull request on Github. And ... don't be mean!

Since this is a FAQ, where is the bad joke that always comes last?

I haven't had time for that yet.
