URL 'media' Woes

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
1

Hello. So I happened to have a page named ‘Media’ on a new project. When I assign the URL to ‘media’ and view the page I get a blank screen. If I change it to say, ‘press’, the page loads as expected. I see there is a now a media folder on Kirby v3 so perhaps there’s a conflict. That would make sense, but what’s the solution? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

The solution would be to rename the media folder, but that is currently not possible:

The milestone is 3.1.2, so that should be soonish…

I have the same issue with 3.3.5.

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong. Do I have to define both „roots“ and „urls“ for the new media folder? I’dont wanna hardcode the url in urls config. Why is this necessary?

<?php

$base = dirname(__DIR__);

require $base . '/kirby/bootstrap.php';

$kirby = new Kirby([
	'roots' => [
		'index'    => __DIR__,
		'media'    => __DIR__ . '/files',
		'content'  => $base . '/content',
		'site'     => $base . '/site',
		'accounts' => $base . '/storage/accounts',
		'cache'    => $base . '/storage/cache',
		'sessions' => $base . '/storage/sessions',
  ]
]);

echo $kirby->render();

If you move the media folder to a different location, you have to set your custom Urls as well, yes.

But the domain doesn’t have to be hardcoded.
