Add CMS to existing site

I tried to use Microblog but migrating my current structure to this project seems more work.

So, I tried to create the structure in my new project,

a) I created the cms folder

b) created author and posts

c) Created a Journal.php and Post as suggests

  1. Add a Collection component to the page that lists content.
  2. Add a Single Item component to the detail page.
  3. Make sure any pages that read CMS data use the .php extension.

Basically the same structure of a Microblog I copied over. You can see in the attached image, the Posts page has become a menu item :frowning:

Also, my current site is a mix of html and php where the Journal is only php and all other are html sites.

When I run it the page is http://127.0.0.1:54562/journal/post/ this is also wrong! and The content is ‘No item found’

What am I doing wrong, is there a better approach?

Your doing fine…

That’s how I did it also

Check the inspector - make sure you’ve selected the correct folders!!!
