How to create a new page with already 2 existing subpages?

The CMS Questions
1

Hi, I want to create a page template Project that has already two sections pages created, called Discography and News. The user will have the possibility to create subpages for each of those pages. Can you help me to do that or point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance

You need help with the blueprint? If that’s what you need you can start with a project.yml inside site/blueprints/pages that looks something like this

# Page Settings
title: Project

# The two sections
sections:

    # The Discography Section
    discography:
        label     : Discography
        type      : pages
        templates : disc

    # The News Section
    news:
        label     : News
        type      : pages
        templates : news

check out the page.create:after hook:

Thank you, I tried this, but my trouble is that I use the listed subpages and the Discography and News subpages are then mixed on the same level. I will look at the subpages builder

Well, the subpages builder and the blueprint I posted tackle the problem in different ways.
With my approach, you’ll end up with a structure that looks something like this:

/project
    news-a.txt
    news-b.txt
    news-c.txt
    disc-a.txt
    disc-b.txt
    disc-c.txt

Since both of those sections will share the same parent page the end result will obviously be a folder with a mix of content in there.

If you go down the subpage builder then you’ll have a different folder structure and also different URL structure because it will look something like this

/project
    /news
        news-a.txt
        news-b.txt
        news-c.txt
    /discography
        disc-a.txt
        disc-b.txt
        disc-c.txt

Both are fine, it depends what you want to achieve and how you want to structure your site

Thank you, I think for the user the second solution is more convenient.

You can also mix the two approaches if you prefer.

I still need a little help with this… I use the subpage builder that is great. I have 3 tabs, project | discography | news
in the project i use

      elements:
        type: pages
        create: false
        delete: false
        templates:
          - discs
          - news

and I would like to have the disc from discs in the tabs discography as cards
I tried to call a section like this

tabs:
  extends: tabs/project
		
  discography:
    discography:
			label: Discography
			extends: sections/discs
			status: listed

and the section discs

title: Discography
icon: bolt
type: pages
label: Mes discography
parent: kirby.page("project")
size: small
layout: cards
template: discs
empty: No record yet

Can you help me, thank you in advance

anyway, I think the method with the subpage builder is to next level for me now… I will do otherwise.
