Hi Cliff, There are no folders in the Website Repository, because folders do not really make sense there: - each node is associated with a URL - if you had a folder, rather than a page in the website repo, what would you display when a user enters the URL to the folder in the browser address bar? --> magnolia would probably return an error, because it can't render the folder... - having "empty" pages is bad for SEO - the closer your content is to the root, the more "important" it is - therefore having folders in the website repo is bad for SEO - you're wasting prime top level "real estate" by devoting top level nodes to empty pages
How to solve this? One option would be to create a "Folder" template. Your "folders" will then actually be pages, and you can render something sensible (maybe an index to the microsites contained in the folder?) for the case that the user (or the google crawler) accesses the folder page. --> you could also use the redirect template. Make the "folder" redirect to the first page within the folder. That way users will land in the right place, even if they enter the wrong URL. (note this is still not ideal for SEO) Regards from Vienna, Richard -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Cliffano Subagio (via Magnolia Forums) Gesendet: Freitag, 06.

I'm wondering whether there's a way to place Pages into folders/subfolders? (I can only see 'Add page' on Pages page, there's no 'Add folder') My use case scenario is to have at least 100,000 micro-sites, each one has a Home page. So grouping pages into folders would be handy. Another workaround I can think of is to use prefix as part of the page name, e.g. group1-subgroup2-pagename , and then search on the prefix. But this is less preferred. Thanks in advance.
