onAdminSave() for setting route default override

Support Plugins

I think I figured it out…

I can now just place all blog items under the main blog page and create one big collection. And still use the nested structure. :smiley:

This is what I did. I will do some additional testing. And the plugin needs some configurability. I will submit a repo and will eventually submit it to the plugin library once its stable enough.

Created a plugin that rewrites the default route:

    public function onPagesInitialized(Event $event)
    {
        $pages = $event['pages'];
        $collection = $pages->all(); // todo: get from plugin settings
        $items = $collection->ofType('item');
        foreach ($items as $item) {
            $header = $item->header();
            $date = isset($header->date) ? date('Y-m-d', strtotime($header->date)) : date('Y-m-d');
            $date = substr(preg_replace('/-/', '/', $date), 0, 10);
            $route = '/'.$date.'/'.$item->slug();
            $header->routes['default'] = $route;
            $item->route($route);
        }

And additionally create an alias in site.yaml:

routes:
  '/[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/(.*)': /blog/$1
