We archive articles that are older than X days and we move them into _archive folder within that content type - example 2_news/_archive/articles-moved-to-archive. I am wondering what would be the best approach to add section to admin panel to list them the same way the draft or published articles are. Maybe with the option to restore if needed.
Is there an easy way to do it? Is there a Kirby feature which can accomplish that?
We use Kirby 4 atm.
If you rename it archive yes. Cause all folders which start with a . or _ are ignored as pages.
What if I do not want to rename it? Is there a way i can still grab them? And put them into a admin panel widget on a page like news in the blueprints?
Is there an example i can use?
news:
width: 2/4
sections:
drafts:
etc…
As I wrote, if you change the folder name to anything not starting with . or _, yes they will be available as unlisted page and can be used with a pages section. Any folders starting with . or _ will be excluded and that’s hardcoded deep down in the system, so nothing you can reconfigure.
How do I not mix them together? Is there a way to have separate widget for only archived folder and leave unlisted as they are right now?
The pages sections allows you to pick a specific parent and filter the pages via a query, status or template: Pages section | Kirby CMS
Does Kirby 3 and 4 handle . or _ the same way? Or folder like that would still work on Kirby 3?
They both treat it that way.
I noticed when i login as admin to the panel and go to old article url which was moved into content/2_news/_archive location, i can still see the articles as admin in the browser, in Kirby 3 and 4, is that expected behaviour?
