Adding a 2022 folder to your news or events listing

1 December 2021

Who this is for

This blog applies to schools and institutes whose websites have a news, events or seminar structure divided by year. The structure typically looks like this:

• News
  • 2021 (contains 'News Listing' content type)
    • Items
  • 2020 (contains individual content types called 'News basic')
    • Items
• Events
  • 2021 (contains 'Events Listing' content type)
    • Items (contains individual content types called 'Event new')
  • 2020
    • Items (contains individual content types called 'Event new')

How to create your 2022 folder

1. Navigate to the parent News page, click Actions and select 'Create new section'.
2. A pending page will appear at the bottom of the list of child pages. Name the page '2022', and check or uncheck 'show in navigation' depending on the previous year’s setup.
3. Create a new child section under the 2022 folder and name it 'Items' (it won't work if it has a different name). This is where you'll create your individual news, event or seminars. It should look like the screenshot on the right.
4. Finally, duplicate the News Listing or Event Listing item from the 2021 section to the 2022 one.

The listing in the 2022 section will automatically pick up all articles posted in the 'Items' child section and display them as and when needed.
