I’m surprised I haven’t considered this before, maybe I never addressed it properly. I will have a collection of pages that each hold a single location (name, address, city, etc.). I will then use that collection of pages to allow the user to select a location (pages field type). I’ll never want …

I usually make them unlisted and then use routes to redirect such URLs to the error page. Same procedure as for subpages that only deliver the content for their parent page.

Drafts would be an option, as they can only be accessed by logged in users (and you don’t have to think about the additionla route), but it somehow doesn’t feel right, at least not to me. Plus you then cannot use the draft state to differentiate published locations from non-published locations in yo…

But on the positive side the client wouldn’t need to set a state (which clients tend to forget). On this task I’m struggling with setting the proper query to these locations? I’m using a pages field and filtering based on the ‘location’ template, but nothing shows up. Something must be amiss here…

Should be intendedTemplate() if the page has no template. template only works if there is a location.php template in /site/templates, which doesn’t make sense if the page is not accessible. [image] thewebprojects: But on the positive side the client wouldn’t need to set a state (which clients …

Oh hell… I was thinking of a blueprint as a template. Right. The locations have no template. What’s this new devilry, this intendedTemplate() ? So that assumes the template would be whatever the blueprint is named. Interesting.

[image] thewebprojects: new devilry, this intendedTemplate() It’s a very old devil, this differentiation already existed in Kirby 2. The intendedTemplate is the template the page would use based on the text file name if there was a template. The blueprint is responsible for setting the conte…

True dat. Good to know. Useful. I know we’re getting way off topic now, but could you point me to some additional info regarding automatically setting a new page state to unlisted or published. Does that hook happen immediately upon adding the page or on save?

[image] thewebprojects: Does that hook happen immediately upon adding the page or on save? Depends on the hook you use. page.create:after hook would publish the page right after creation. page.update:after would publish the page after saving. There are a few examples somewhere around here. B…

Perfect! As always, thanks for your insight.

You don’t see me. I hide from code that’s too fancy. My eyes are shut. That means no one can see me.
