Page models

Page models are registered with the PageModels extension.

Page models extend Kirby's default page object. Methods that you define in a page model are available everywhere in Kirby where you call a page of the extended type.

class BlogPage extends Page
{
    // your custom page methods
}

Kirby::plugin('my/pageModels', [
    'pageModels' => [
        'blog' => 'BlogPage'
    ]
]);

In a real world example, you would usually put the class in a separate file, e.g. /models/BlogPage.php in your plugin folder:

<?php

class BlogPage extends Page
{
    // your custom page methods
}

And then load it in your plugin's index.php:

<?php

load([
    'BlogPage' => 'models/BlogPage.php',
], __DIR__);

Kirby::plugin('my/pageModels', [
    'pageModels' => [
        'blog' => 'BlogPage'
    ]
]);
