I have a case where we want the page title to be a date (YYYY-MM-DD). But the following problems arise: The page is immediately set to visible The year is cut off from the url. (eg: 2017-02-09 → […]/02-09) Any idea how to fix this?

Options: use a date without dashes use another title and use a second field for the date, unless you need the date in the url use a non-number prefix

Here’s what I did on a recent project with the same requirement. I omitted the title on the blueprint and used a date field to automatically fill the title field (which is required by Kirby) on each update. #blueprints/article.yml fields: # title: # label: Title # type: title # requi…

With your date format, @pedroborges , there is no problem with that. But if you use a data format like “2017-23-01” you will definitely run into issues.

Got it, in that case I’d use a date format that don’t causes sorting issues and create a Page model to customize the title. <?php site/models/article.php <?php class Articlepage extends Page { public function title() { return $this->date('Y-m-d'); } }

I seem to get this behaviour whenever my title starts with a number. :thinking: So even if I initially use “9. Februar 2017” I get the exact same behaviour.

The problem is that if you have a title like this, the dot is converted to a dash in the page UID.

Do you need these pages to be invisible? After they are visible the issue is gone. If you don’t need that distinction you can add a hook to make them visible when created.

Yup. Basically it’s a list of events which each can have as little information as just a date and none of the events have a title – hence I used the title as the date-input. Most of the information comes from the parent page unless overwritten. And my client decides to publish the event, it should …

Hm, I tried “12 reason to test this” as a title, and I still got the same behaviour. I suspect that this behaviour is not desired.

You just can’t have a uid/title that starts with a number unless it’s only a number, like “1984”.

Okay,

In that caste I will just create a custom route, use a custom date-field and populate it via a hook, like pedroborges showed.

Thanks!
