Evolution theme and channels

Using Ghost
1

Dear All,

I am using the Evolution theme (which I can’t edit as I am on the starter package) and I have used the following routes.yaml file

routes:

  /papers/:
    controller: channel
    permalink: /papers/{slug}/
    template: index
    filter: tag:[papers,preprints]

  /seminars/:
    controller: channel
    permalink: /seminars/{slug}/
    template: index
    filter: tag:[seminars]

collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    template: index

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

The problem I have with this code is that the page associated to the channels (see for instance Amsterdam Centre for Dynamics And Computation (Page 1)) does not have any headings, as any other static page (About us).

Any ideas how to fix that?

The way that the theme (Edition) is constructed won’t make that possible without customization.

Another approach would be to just rely on tags for this functionality:

Otherwise, you’d need to try a different theme to get this working.

Thanks this is very helpful.

Hi @RyanF just to clarify: with your suggestion on tags, will all posts irrespective of the tag, appear in the home page and, in addition, will the posts tagged as papers-and-preprints appear also in the papers-and-preprints page? Also, what happens if a post has multiple tags?

Hi @RyanF I figured out that yes, this is the case. Thanks for your help!
