Is there a way to do this? I’m currently using AutoID to generate a unique hash to many pages across the content structure. Some of these posts have structure items that need a unique ID so I can store it somewhere else and, later, link to that post and specific structure item. If this is a no-no,…

Although this could be achieved with hooks, I can’t think of a practical way for finding structure items by id. You would need to know in which page they are located anyway. What exactly are you trying to do? From what I understood, I’d use subpages.

I’m developing a small educational web-app with some scheduling functions. All Lectures (pages) have Individual Challenges (pages), like this: [image] Each challenge page has different Schedule Blocks (structure field items): [image] Once you add that block to your calendar, the website creat…

I agree, the structure field does indeed give you more context that subpages. I think you could in fact use a hidden field to store a unique ID, you would only have to be careful not to overwrite an entry when updating the page. As long as you know the page where to find the structure entry, that sh…

Since you need to protect challenges from being deleted, it could be easily done with subpages. To get a better a experience on the panel, you could use the Modules plugin + Modules Field plugin . I have used it on a project to easily manage subpages on the panel. It worked great! [image] With the…

Thanks for the heads-up Pedro! I’m working with subpages at the moment, I still have to see how the Modules Field plugins work. I’m a bit confused at the different structures (mind if you share that little example you showed me on your previous message? hah :grin:). I’ll check those plugins in the …

Hi ! [image] texnixe: I think you could in fact use a hidden field to store a unique ID, Do you have an idea how to do that ? I mean, generate an unique ID for a blueprint field. I think of something similar to the AutoID, but not related to pages, only for generate unique hash. Thanks !

Let’s assume you had a simple structure field like this in your blueprint: structurefield: label: Structure Field type: Structure style: table fields: hash_id: label: Readonly field for hash type: text readonly: true field2: label: Some content …

Perfect, thank you so much ! I played with the PHP uniqueid() function inside my templates, but your solution is much more elegant. It would be nice to make a plugin out of it. Thanks again :grinning: EDIT : I guess you made a tiny mistake at this line : addHashToStructure($page, 'structurefield'…

[image] antoine1000: It would be nice to make a plugin out of it. Yep, I probably will. Edit: Yes, thanks, corrected above.
