Blog post with sub URL

Need help New Responsive Engine
1

I’ve got 2 pages created:

/news - this is the summaries of each blog / news post. Image and summary.
/news_post - this is the actual blog post / news post. The image and summary from /news, as well as the full content.

I also have 2 data sets created named the same.

image1826×612 33.2 KB

image
image1826×1016 82.3 KB

In the /news page, it uses the data from the 1st image above and displays the image, title and summary.

When you click on the title, I want it to redirect to /news/[title of blog post] and display the data from the 2nd image.

How on earth do we do this?

Hi there,

There’s several ways to do this, or similar to this.

  1. the ‘News’ page is a page set to datatype newsPost. Set it up so when there’s no newsPost in the URL, to instead show your repeating group with a list of newsPosts. Each newsPost will need a Slug that is set. Setup each newsPost’s link in this repeating group when you click it, you Go To Page → Current page (News). Data to send → This Cell’s newsPost. Now when you click one of the newsPosts, it’ll add that newsPosts’s slug to the URL.

  2. Instead of keeping it all under ‘News’, you could have a hybrid approach where /News is always the summaried data, and you Go To Page → ‘news_post’. So your URL would go from example.com/news to example.com/news_post/dogs-voted-mans-best-friend

  3. A combination of the above using Page Paths - where you’re setting paths in the URL manually, and on page load setting which part of the URL to refer to when pulling data to load.

Thank you so much @msgiblin. Extremely helpful, and I’ve gone for Option 1.
