Hello!
I’m relatively new to Kirby and how it works. 
I’ve been modifying the starter kit to my liking, but one thing I can’t seem to figure out is how to move the notes content under another page as a child and still retain the blueprint. (or even apply another blueprint for that matter)
I would like the notes to function exactly as they do with the exception of it’s just underneath a different page/folder. The panel doesn’t seem to recognize the notes at all unless I change notes.txt to default.txt. Perhaps the parent blueprint needs to accommodate for this but Im having trouble finding documentation or an example.
Can blueprints only be applied to top-level pages? (my guess is no, but I think I’m missing something) Does the same apply to templates?
Lastly, would it still be possible to list the series of notes on the main panel if the “notes” page is no longer top-level?
thank you!!
Yes, you would have to adapt the notes section (/site/blueprints/sections/notes.yml) and set the parent option to the new parent (currently set to parent: site.find("notes")).
No, of course not. You can have blueprints for pages on all levels, and children in a folder don’t have to use the same blueprint. The template/blueprint a page uses is defined in the pages section.
To make the notes parent/children show up in your new parent page, you have to include a pages section in your parent’s blueprint.
For example, if you put the complete notes folder into the test folder with a text file test.txt, then in your test.yml you could create a pages section like this:
title: Test
sections:
notes:
headline: My Notes
type: pages
parent: site.find("test/notes")
templates: note
This would then list all children of the notes page. With the templates option we define that new children may only be created using the note.yml blueprint.
