CMS: About Page Link Collection Fields for Dynamic Pages
2 min read
When you create dynamic pages, the system adds Page Link fields in your collection. These Page Link fields create the web addresses used by the dynamic pages.
The format of the Page Link field depends on the type of dynamic page it represents:
- Dynamic list pages: Titled {Collection-name} (List), by default, the Page Link URL adds the collection name to the end of the dynamic list page's web address.
- Dynamic item page: Titled {Collection-name} (Item), by default, the Page Link URL includes the name of the collection, followed by the Primary field value, which should be unique for each item.
Tip:
Go to your editor's page settings to add variables to your dynamic page URLs. Variables can be static text or dynamic field values that vary depending on the relevant item's field value. Editing the URL values in your editor automatically updates the Page Link fields in your collection.
Primary fields are super important because they are used in the dynamic item page URL. Make sure to add unique content to the Primary field for each item that you wish to have a dynamic item page. Without content in the Primary field, a dynamic item page URL cannot be created for the item.
In your collection, you can see how the Primary field value is added to the Page Link field associated with your dynamic item page. Fields that are used as variables in the URL slug structure appear with SLUG next to the name of the field. This is to help you visualize the fields that make up your Page Link URLs.
View the screenshot below to see how the primary 'Title' field values are used in the Page Link fields for each item's dynamic item page.
