Getting a specific page by name in the site blueprint

The CMS Questions
1

Apologies for a simple question, but what is the best way to show a specific page (chosen by name or template, say), in the site blueprint?

I have the below, which will show the subpages of ‘info’.

info:
type: pages
status: listed
parent: site.find(“info”)

But if I just want to show the info page and not its children, how do I do that?
Or if I wanted to list a few specific pages (‘info’, ‘contact’ and ‘faq’, for example) is there an easy way to do that?

The only way to filter pages in a pages section is by template and status

sections:
  mysection:
    type: pages
    status: listed
    template: xyz

Or multiple templates

sections:
  mysection:
    status: listed
    type: pages
    templates: 
       - a
       - b
       - c

See Pages section | Kirby CMS

If that doesn’t work for you, you need the pages section plugin which allows you to use a query: GitHub - rasteiner/k3-pagesdisplay-section: K3 plugin: display any page list in a section. Any parent, many parents, filtered, don't care.

Ah, thank you, that’s really helpful (and quick!).

This doesn’t work for me:

sections:
  mysection:
    status: listed
    template: xyz

(I get ‘invalid section type’.)

And this doesn’t work:

sections:
  pages:
    mysection:
      status: listed
      template: xyz

(It lists all the pages, regardless of template.)

But this does work:

sections:
  pages:
    status: listed
    template: xyz

So problem solved, though I’m not sure I completely understand the logic at work? But thank you again!

I was a bit lazy and forgot to add the section type. Your second example works because there is some magic at work with the section name pages, which doesn’t work if the section has a different name.

I see, thank you!
