Panel

Besides the on-page feedback widget, the plugin surfaces comments inside the
Kirby Panel in two places: a global Feedback area and a per-page
comments section you can drop into any blueprint.

Feedback area#

The plugin automatically registers a Feedback entry in the Panel menu.
It lists every comment across the whole site, grouped by page. On
multi-language sites, each entry also shows the language the comment was
written in as a short code (e.g. EN, DE) next to the author.

Comment details#

Clicking a comment opens a drawer with the full text, author, date, the page
it belongs to and its status. On multi-language sites, the language the
comment was written in is shown next to the page, using the language's full
name (e.g. "Deutsch").

Disabling the Feedback area#

The area is registered under the id loop. Its visibility is controlled by
Kirby's built-in access permission, which defaults to allowing access. Set
access.loop to false in a role blueprint to hide the menu entry for that
role and block the area's API requests.

Disable it for a specific role (e.g. editors):

# site/blueprints/users/editor.yml
permissions:
  access:
    loop: false

To disable it for everyone, add the same permission to every role blueprint or remove it from the menu by modifying panel.menu in your config.php. There is a simple to use plugin for that: Kirby Panel Menu.

Per-page comments section#

Use the loop-comments section to show only the comments that belong to the
page the section is placed on. This is handy on a page blueprint so editors see
feedback in context while editing. Like the Feedback area, entries also show
each comment's language code on multi-language sites.

Add it to any page blueprint:

sections:
  feedback:
    type: loop-comments

Placed on site.yml, the section is no longer scoped to a single page and lists all comments across the site instead. The status option still applies, so status: open on site.yml gives you every open comment site-wide.

Options#

label#

Type: string|null
Default: the plugin label (Feedback)

Sets the heading shown above the comment list. Accepts a plain string or a
translation array.

sections:
  feedback:
    type: loop-comments
    label: Page feedback

# Translated label
sections:
  feedback:
    type: loop-comments
    label:
      en: Page feedback
      de: Seiten-Feedback

status#

Type: string
Default: all
Values: all | open | resolved

Controls which comments the section lists. Use open to show only unresolved
comments, resolved for resolved ones, or all (default) for both.

# Only show open comments
sections:
  feedback:
    type: loop-comments
    status: open

Example blueprint#

title: Article

columns:
  - width: 2/3
    fields:
      text:
        type: textarea
  - width: 1/3
    sections:
      feedback:
        type: loop-comments
        label: Feedback

Deep linking to a comment#

In the Feedback area and the comments section, clicking a comment's
colored marker opens the page in a new tab and jumps to that comment.

The link uses the anchor #loop-comment-{id}, e.g.
https://example.com/blog/my-post#loop-comment-42. You can also share these links
directly.

When such a link is opened, the on-page widget opens its panel, scrolls the
comment's marker into view and briefly highlights it (resolved comments, which
have no marker, are revealed in the panel list instead).

On multi-language sites, this link points to the page in the comment's own
language rather than whichever language you're currently viewing in the
Panel.

In the Feedback area, each comment's options menu also has an Open
page action that opens the page in the Panel itself (rather than the live
site) in a new tab. On multi-language sites, it likewise opens directly in
the comment's language, via a ?language={code} query parameter.
