Description
The usage of uuids has been a long discussed topic for Netlify CMS.
Now, an issue came up when using UUIDS in combination with a Homepage
collection.
When the slug
is the uuid
, you cannot use a single file collection...
Because the uuid is used in combination with Netlify's FaunaDB integration (in multiple sites),
every homepage that is created, needs to have a unique uuid
slug
.
I'm developing a site template using Netlify CMS, which will become a Github Template Repository.
So whenever a new site is cloned from this template, and then deployed to Netlify a new homepage has to be created by the user, which will then have a unique uuid
slug
.
Since we cannot use a single file collection, as we don't know the uuid beforehand, we need to use a folder collection.
But there can only be 1 homepage, it would be great if there was an option like max_entries
or max_files
after which the New Homepage
button will be disabled to prevent endusers from creating multiple homepages.
Not sure if this use case warrants a feature request, I thought it might :)
Otherwise I'd be happy for pointers how I could achieve this otherwise.
