Duplicate Menu Entry warning

support
1

Is there way to resolve this warning without changing the page titles. For example I have pages with title ‘Overview’ in multiple sections.

| WARN  "piroguetoolsuite.github.io/content/docs/pirogue/architecture/index.md:1:1": duplicate menu entry with identifier "Architecture" in menu "docs"
| WARN  "piroguetoolsuite.github.io/content/docs/pirogue/overview/index.md:1:1": duplicate menu entry with identifier "Overview" in menu "docs"
| WARN  "piroguetoolsuite.github.io/content/docs/pirogue/traffic_analysis/index.md:1:1": duplicate menu entry with identifier "Network traffic analysis" in menu "docs"
| WARN  "piroguetoolsuite.github.io/content/docs/prologue/overview.md:1:1": duplicate menu entry with identifier "Overview" in menu "docs"

You have more than one page with the same menu identifier. For example:

  • content/docs/colander/traffic_analysis/index.md
  • content/docs/pirogue/traffic_analysis/index.md

You have not explicity set the menu identifier or name for either of these pages, so both fallback to the page title, and both pages have the same title.

You need to explicitly set the identifier for these menu entries.

identifier

(string) Required when two or more menu entries have the same name, or when localizing the name using translation tables. Must start with a letter, followed by letters, digits, or underscores.

I tried adding the identifier as following. I don’t the want the site URIs to change as it might break the site.

title: "Network traffic analysis"
identifier: "Network traffic analysis with Colander"

This doesn’t seem to resolve the warnings.

To which of the two pages did you add the identifier?

When I add the identifier to content/docs/colander/traffic_analysis/index.md the warning goes away:
