I know you can’t make pages, content pages, from data files. But… could I make a single content file, have nothing in the body and in the front matter have some value that I can do a find/match to a data structure in the template, and then pull in data from under that matched heading to populate the…

This may help you: [image] [SOLVED] Loop through data file with keys support How do I loop through this data file and display the quotes on each author’s page? Author pages are named: jane-doe.md and john-smith.md in content/author quotes.yml -- jane-doe: quotes: …

Really cool, thanks! My goal is to make a sort of… product display. Not a store integration, but a product display which links to the product on an external website. Instead of making a content page for each item, i figured I could have all of that in a structure in the data file, and just referenc…

After looking at the archetypes docs… I think I know what you mean but not sure how that works exactly since when creating the content file based on the archetype, it wouldn’t know what values to search the data file with… or does it?
