How to Add Routable Pages to your Wagtail CMS Website

Routable Pages allow us to create "subpages" under any regular Wagtail Page. Essentially, we can create pages with urls that aren't accessible through the Wagtail CMS admin. We'll learn how to implement routable pages, how to add additional context to the new page, how to render a new page template, how to reverse the routable page url in the template and how to reverse the routable page url in the Wagtail model.

About the trailing slash, it works because django has a middleware that will redirect to the url ending with a slash. But there are a config option in wagtail to not use the trailing slash and in this case it won't use django's middleware that tries with a trailing slash. Django also has its own settings to do the same thing (but with django's urls)

*IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY YOU'RE GETTING A 404 OR CONTEXT ISN'T OVERRIDING : * the class HomePage must extend from RouteablePageMixin FIRST and extend from Page SECOND. I typed : "class HomePage(Page, RoutablePageMixin)" and nothing was working as expected but I wasn't getting an error either. So there ya go! The correct way is "class HomePage(RoutablePageMixin, Page)".

Hi. I'm loving the Learn Wagtail course and this tutorial but when I use [:2] to limit the posts to the latest posts routable page, it shows me the first 2 posts rather than the latest 2?

Hi Kalob, I'm putting together a website with Wagtail and I'm wondering if it's acceptable to use bits of code from this tutorial. Is it open source or should I be building from scratch? Thank you!

[@CodingForEverybody]

Feel free to steal any of my code here. It's all available on GitHub - the link should be in the description of most videos.

how to routeblepage with API headless?

[@coldfir1784]

So let's say that your page displayed a list of categories. Would it be appropriate for your routable page to do a database query on that category and display all matches? Could you make the final url /{{ category }} in a single routable or would you need to do a different routable for each category with the corresponding category name? I'm mainly just trying to understand if I should use routables in this fashion or not.

[@CodingForEverybody]

Nope, you can write a @route with regex. The docs have an example here: docs.wagtail.io/en/v2.5.1/reference/contrib/routablepage.html#the-basics

[@CodingForEverybody]

Hey @coldfir1784 I just released a new video on exactly how to do this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZDGpKyeq7yleMk

[@n8thanael]

Thanks! Was looking for how to do this ... I couldn't find this in the Wagtail documentation

[@CodingForEverybody]

You'll want to add a line like this above the wagtail page include in your urls.py url(r'^custom-url/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='templates/custom-page.html')),

[@helderandrade1476]

Great videos, keep it up. On the flip side - it would help to keep focus on the topic and reduce small talk as it becomes confusing when you say something and then contradict yourself !
