How to create a new page from template page ?
Hi All ,
I am currently new to perch .
I have been implementing perch for the first time and would like to know the following :
How do i create a page from a template page - (This includes renaming the physical name of the page & not the title ) .
Thanks & Regards ,
Titus Saju
In Perch we call those page templates Master Pages: https://docs.grabaperch.com/perch/pages-and-nav/pages/master-pages/
Yes , exactly .
But it doesn't show where (Physically the file is being generated .) . I would need to know where the new page is being created on the server and its naming convention used in default . Is it possible that the user gets to change that convention ?
The page is created based on the subpage folder setting of the parent page.
You can also move it after creating it by changing the path a checking the box to move the page.
Ok that solves one issue .
Let me explain a bit more about my other issue .
We are basically an IT solutions provider company . So the amount of solutions we provide change / increase per month .
Let us say I have created a master page called "Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery" . - I would be using the same page design for all other solution pages as well .
But I need my navbar to detect the pages if any new pages are added and index them accordingly in the dropdown of Solutions tab .
As of now I am able to use the BC&DR page as template , which is absolutely fine , but the other pages being mentioned in the navbar is one issue that I am facing
One More issue down the line , actually I got the above one solved out .
I Created a new subpage using the method mentioned , but when I tried to access the page I'm getting an error
HTTP error 500
Use the navigation functions.
