Call sub object of {{ page }} about phile

[james2doyle]

Here is a way that you can do it just with twig:

{% for page in pages %}
  {# if the myfolder string is in the url then its in content/myfolder #}
  {% if "myfolder" in page.url %}
    <a href="{{ page.url }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

If that isnt quite what you are looking for, you can write a small PHP script to read all the .md files in the directory. Then use the phileTwigFilters plugin to add that array of files into a twig variable.

You can also use a custom meta, since Phile supports custom meta without any plugins.

{% for page in pages %}
  {# if the myfolder string is in the url then its in content/myfolder #}
  {% if page.meta.folder == "myfolder" %}
    <a href="{{ page.url }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Keep in mind that http://mysite.com/myfolder url in Phile actually points to mysite/content/myfolder/index.md. So it shouldn't be a huge hassle to come with with a solution for your problem. The first option I gave is the one that I have used before.

Thank you very much for this precise answer, I'm gonna try this, I'm pretty sure it does the trick. Thanks 👍

Thanks. The first solution will actually work on Pico as well. Its just some basic Twig code. But I encourage you to give Phile a try. We built it because we were upset at the lack of maintenance and support in Pico.

Yep I did, I've switched to Phile for my current project. Custom meta out of the box are awesome ! I did a quick benchmark and indeed Phile is faster. Good to see someone is taking care of the great idea Pico came up with.
And thanks for the nice support !
