In Umbraco 8 is it possible to have nodes in the tree, which are not used as a separate page? E.g. a 'folder' node to organize content.
Root - Folder A - Content
The Content folder will have an url of /folder-a/content, while I would want it to be /content
Already tried using the Virtual Nodes plugin to exclude the 'folder' document type. But this gives errors when trying to add content under the 'folder'
I'm new to Umbraco, but I had the same question and this is how I solved it.
1) In Settings -> Document Types, I created a type called "Content Folder" and gave it no content (well, except a Visibility Composition, but that's optional).
2) Under permissions for my new Content Folder, for "Allowed child node types" I added my "Content" and "Content Folder".
3) Then under my "Home" document type permissions, I allowed my Content Folder as a child node type.
Now when I go to "Home" under Content, I can add a "Content Folder" and under any Content Folder I can add a Content page or another Content Folder.
I haven't sorted out the URLs yet. What I notice is that each folder adds to the url, such that a Content page nested under a couple of the Content Folders has each folder in the URL, which seems right. But it may have other issues when I construct the menu...
Anyhow, I hope that helps! And if you (or someone) has a better way, I'd love to know it.
The fact the folder adds to the url is what I am trying to avoid.
I am looking for a way to order content in the content tree without adding it to the url.
'Folder' node in content tree, which is no separate page, to better organize content

Hi Ken,
thanks for your reply.
