Structure items with BoostID

[psntr]

Hello!

It's me again, after being able to transfer my project from autoID to BoostID, I wanted to know if BoostID is compatible with a structure object?

I'm trying to have a page where there is a structure called "Categories" with inner fields that contains a title and the BoostID, for exemple:

categories:
    type: structure
    translate: false
    columns:
      color:
        width: 1/4
      category:
        width: 3/4
    fields:
      category:
        label: Category
        type: text
      boostid: fields/boostid

This page is unlisted but still has a models page in order to use BoostID. Nevertheless, I'm not able to create the ID's via:

kirby()->impersonate('kirby');
site()->boost();
// or this
foreach(site()->index(true) as $page) {
   $page->boost();
}

Before I had autoID for each of the structure items and I could use the immutable ID's to retrieve the title of the category or change it without breaking all articles related to this category.

Would appreciate a hint or how to achieve that with structure object.

boost has no support for ids inside structures.

if you "just" need each structure item to have an unique id consider enforcing your own logic in an page.created/updated hook. see forum on how to update structures.

or consider using very simple blocks. they have a id built in which you could query and reference somewhere else.

Thanks for the quick reply. That's a pity, it was so nice to have that feature in autoID.

I will try with page.update hook to keep the structure as it is, but using the blocks option it's also interesting idea.
