Collection and block template

Tried on "_title, date" and "title, date" and even "heading, date". None work.

Although as I'm typing this I think I know what the problem is.

<perch:blocks>
  <perch:block type="article" label="Article">
    <perch:template path="content/articles/article.html" />
  </perch:block>

  <perch:block type="image" label="Pictures">
    <perch:template path="content/_blocks/image.html" />
  </perch:block>
</perch:blocks>

At the moment each template include has his own Heading and Date to set. I probable need to move this out of each template and set it inside the <perch:blocks></perch:blocks> statement.

Which is the best way to do this? Move Heading & Date outside the <perch:blocks></perch:blocks> elements?

Sure!

At the moment I still have the following:

posts.html

<perch:blocks>
  <perch:block type="article" label="Article">
    <perch:template path="content/articles/article.html" />
  </perch:block>

  <perch:block type="image" label="Pictures">
    <perch:template path="content/_blocks/image.html" />
  </perch:block>
</perch:blocks>

article.html

<article class="post h-entry">
  <header class="post--header">
    <h2 class="p-name"><perch:content id="heading" type="text" label="Heading" required="true" title="true" /></h2>
    <time datetime="<perch:content id="date" type="date" label="Date" format="%d-%m-%Y" required="true" />" class="post--date dt-published"><perch:content id="date" type="date" label="Date" format="%d %B %Y" require="true" /></time>
  </header>

  <perch:if exists="summary">
  <section class="post--excerpt">
    <perch:content id="excerpt" type="textarea" label="Excerpt" markdown="true" editor="markitup" />
  </section>
  </perch:if>

  <section class="post--body">
    <perch:content id="body" type="textarea" label="Body" markdown="true" editor="markitup" required="true" />
  </section>
</article>

image.html

<article class="post h-entry">
  <header class="post--header">
    <h2 class="p-name"><perch:content id="heading" type="text" label="Heading" required="true" title="true" /></h2>
    <time datetime="<perch:content id="date" type="date" label="Date" format="%d-%m-%Y" required="true" />" class="post--date dt-published"><perch:content id="date" type="date" label="Date" format="%d %B %Y" require="true" /></time>
  </header>

  <figure>
    <img src="<perch:content id="image" type="image" width="1600" label="Image" />" />
  </figure>
</article>

I have tried to move the "heading" and "date" outside the blocks element and that works fine in the overview. Only I need to find to include it in each article element.

Don't have yet coded for a page. Currently developing locally and testing what is possible.

The sorting I have done is in Perch itself. At the moment I see item with "Item 1", "Item 2", etc.

I haven't tested this but I think I have to do something like this:

<perch:content id="heading" type="text" label="Heading" required="true" title="true" suppress="true" />
<perch:content id="date" type="date" label="Date" format="%d-%m-%Y" required="true" suppress="true" />

<perch:blocks scope-parent="true">
  <perch:block type="article" label="Article">
    <perch:template path="content/articles/article.html" />
  </perch:block>

  <perch:block type="image" label="Pictures">
    <perch:template path="content/_blocks/image.html" />
  </perch:block>
</perch:blocks>

Yeah.

I'm trying to find a balance between posting different style of posts and keep the ability to style them differently. (article, image, quote, etc.)
