Created a blog.php template and stored in site/templates folder. The menu snippet results indicate that the ‘blog’ page I created, is actually using a ‘default’ page, rather than the blog template I created. This is my first attempt at using Kirby. What are the components required to create a blog page within Kirby? Want NEWS in the menu/nav to point to a page containing individual ARTICLES
<?php if ($p->hasChildren() && ($p->template() != 'blog') ) { ?>Thanks
My template for “blog posts” is called article.
Something like this?
Give a look at the new kirby cookbook it has a lot of solutions. Including one how to make a blog! It’s a pretty good guide and after a bit of tweaking I got a nice working solution.
Thank you so much for replying. Menu has a page called COMPANY with a submenu item Blog. I created the blog template with code below.
<?php snippet('header') ?>
<?php snippet('menu') ?>
<main class="main" role="main">
<?php echo 'not getting here' ?>
<h1>Blog</h1>
<?php foreach($page->children() as $article): ?>
<h1><?php echo html($article->title()) ?></h1>
<time><?php echo $article->date('d/m/Y') ?></time>
<?php echo kirbytext($article->intro()) ?></p>
<a href="<?php echo $article->url() ?>">Read more…</a>
<?php endforeach ?>
</main>
<?php snippet('footer') ?>
I selected the blog template when creating the blog page in the panel. The content folder suggests a folder named ‘blog’ containing 3 articles which contain a few fields like date, title etc.
When I echo the template being used from the navigation loop to test, it shows the template being used to be default, not blog, which is causing a failure of execution of the blog article loop I believe?
I will definitely go to the cookbook!
Does the blog folder contain a file called blog.txt? The filename of the content files and the template files must match.
Used cookbook thank you. Rather than letting the loop do the work I was adding articles to the blog page.
