Statamic renders index instead of show and also...

[goodBranchUC]

Hi there. I need help.
new to dev world.

hierarchy
projects/show...
projects/index...

my projects/show.antlers.html is rendering only the data in index.antlers.html

and projects/index.antlers.html only renders data from the CMS window via the
Pages -> Projects -> Content textbox. Not from the index.antlers.html file.

And its rendering that content without requiring {{ content }} within the index.antlers.html

stumped.

Hey @goodBranchUC,

What's your collection's and entry's template set to? You can set the template for each of them. Either from the Control Panel or manually in the YAML of the collection or YAML front-matter of the entry's markdown file. Maybe you got it mixed up?

how come my entry page doesn't have Template

but in Jacks tutorial he does

.

You have to explicitly add the template field to your collection's Blueprint ✌️

You could also have the projects/index be an entry of the Pages collection and the projects/show the default of the Projects collection. That's how I usually do it.

[goodBranchUC]

your initial answer worked. thanks.

[goodBranchUC]

I made an error. My Yamlfile wasn't the issue my projects.md file was. it generated
template_field: projects/index instead of the working one
template: projects/index

[goodBranchUC]

For some odd reason my md file generated template_field: projects/index instead of template: projects/index.

had to delete _field and it worked.

Sounds like you added a template field to your blueprint and didn't change the name. When you add a field it's always "fieldtype_field" until you change it.
