New to Drupal and trying to output the value of a textfield called mytextfield from my Basic Page content type edit page into the webpage sidebar. I have the sidebar configured with a region set in Block Layouts and that displays fine. Now I want to be able to type text e.g foobar, into the 'mytextfield` field hit Save and have the field value foobar appear in the sidebar.
From Googing it appears that I have to edit block.html.twig from the templates folder. block.html.twig (I will use the Twig Debugger to edit a more appropriate file at a later stage)
{%
set classes = [
'block',
'block-' ~ configuration.provider|clean_class,
'block-' ~ plugin_id|clean_class,
]
%}
<div{{ attributes.addClass(classes) }}>
{{ title_prefix }}
{% if label %}
<h2{{ title_attributes }}>{{ label }}</h2
{% endif %}
{{ title_suffix }}
{% block content %}
<div{{ content_attributes.addClass('content') }}>
{{ content }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
</div>
I added:
Output 1: {{ content.mytextfield[0] }}
Output 2: {{ content.mytextfield }}
as below hoping to output the value foobar but alas no joy.
{%
set classes = [
'block',
'block-' ~ configuration.provider|clean_class,
'block-' ~ plugin_id|clean_class,
]
%}
<div{{ attributes.addClass(classes) }}>
Output 1: {{ content.mytextfield[0] }}
Output 2: {{ content.mytextfield }}
{{ title_prefix }}
{% if label %}
<h2{{ title_attributes }}>{{ label }}</h2
{% endif %}
{{ title_suffix }}
{% block content %}
<div{{ content_attributes.addClass('content') }}>
{{ content }}
</div>
{% endblock %}
</div>
...am I on the right track here or is there a visibility setting failed to set someplace? Just starting out with Drupal and couldn't find how to do it. Couldn't see the answer in my Drupal 8 Theming with Twig book either. Basically I want the values I add to fields in the edit page to appear in the sidebar on the webpage as easy as possible. Using the Barrio theme. Thanks!!
