[Question] Cannot create folder

How to create new posts

hugo new posts/istpost

The above command create a file istpost.md in content/posts folder. But the default posts are in this format posts/Folder/folder.md

My question is will we create folder manually?

Actually i am integrating Netlify CMS. I have integrated it to other hugo themes in the past. But in this theme the post are saved in a folder like posts/POSTNAME/POSTNAME.md

How can I tell netlify to create a folder with same name as post title?

my netlify.toml is

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  branch: master # Branch to update (optional; defaults to master)

media_folder: static/images/uploads
public_folder: /images/uploads

collections:
  - name: "post"
    label: "Post"
    folder: "exampleSite/content/posts"
    create: true
    fields:
      - { label: "Title", name: "title", widget: "string" }
      #- { label: "Publish Date", name: "date", widget: "datetime" }
      - { label: "Description", name: "description", widget: "string" }
      # - { label: 'Side Image', name: 'image', widget: 'image' }
      - { label: "Body", name: "body", widget: "markdown" }
      # - { label: 'Libraries', name: 'libraries', widget: 'list' }
      #- { label: "Categories", name: "categories", widget: "list" }
      #- { label: "Tags", name: "tags", widget: "list" }
      #- { label: "Series", name: "series", widget: "list" }

How to create new posts

1. If you wanna write it on english translation in the Posts page hugo new posts/yournamecontent/index.en.md

2. If you wanna write it without multilanguage in the Posts page hugo new posts/yournamecontent.md

3. If you wanna create a special page for example About page hugo new about.md or hugo new about/index.en.md

Yeah it is not necessary to have a folder for a post. The issue is considered solved now

Is it also possible to have posts in their own folder for easy management and organization of assets? For example the image files included in the post. (in the documentation for creating your first post it is not mentioned what the best practice is for post specific images)

So: posts > postname1 > postname1.md posts > postname1 > images.jpg posts > postname1 > video.webm

Is it possible to create the post in its own folder for this workflow when telling hugo to make a new post? Also, regarding the language translation, is it possible to disable multi-language so posts are just name.md instead of name.lang.md?

Use CMS, read "Frontend Interfaces with Hugo" for more information

Without multilanguage path posts/postname/index.md; posts/postname.md; pagename/index.md; pagename.md

Doesn't something like Hokus or Netlify CMS need theme-specific setup to work properly?

Yes, I did that, but nothing there talks about that. Does that mean you would have to manually name the folder for each post, is that correct?

Also, creating a new post.md does not include the theme's post options in the front matter (just title, date and draft). Is it possible to make it include the options you built into the theme? then we could remove the options what we don't want to change, but don't have to remember all the option names and such.

It's not "theme-specific setup" but "user-specific setup", and i wont (for the moment) support lot of 3rd party CMS-apps to be included in this theme.

I don't understand what "manually" are you talking about, using hugo new is already automatic to generate a post in/out-side folder.

Also, creating a new post.md does not include the theme's post options in the front matter (just title, date and draft).

Every single post created using hugo new will include the default front-matter from archetypes
