# Custom Pages URLs

The OnFlow theme includes several types of built-in pages. This guide explains how to customize these pages and manage their navigation links throughout your site.

## Built-in Pages Overview

The theme includes two types of built-in pages:

### Pages with Custom Routes

These pages are defined in `routes.yaml`:
- Sign-in (`/signin/`)
- Sign-up (`/signup/`)
- Writings (`/writings/`)
- Projects (`/projects/`)

### Pages with Predefined Templates

These pages use custom templates and require creation in Ghost admin:

- Authors (`/authors/`)
- Membership (`/membership/`)
- Recommendations (`/recommendations/`)
- Tags (`/tags/`)

## Customizing Page URLs

### Pages with Custom Routes

To modify signin, signup, or writings pages, you need to update the Ghost routes configuration:

1. Download your current `routes.yaml` file from Ghost admin
1. Modify the routes to your desired URLs:
   ```yaml
    routes:
        # Original
        /signup/:
            template: signup
        /signin/:
            template: signin

        # Example of custom URLs
        /login/:
            template: signin
        /join/:
            template: signup
    collections:
        # Original
        /writings/:
            permalink: /{slug}/
            filter: 'tag:-hash-project'
            template: writings
        /projects/:
            permalink: /{slug}/
            filter: 'tag:hash-project'
            template: projects

        # Example of custom URLs
        /posts/:
            permalink: /{slug}/
            filter: 'tag:-hash-project'
            template: writings
        /works/:
            permalink: /{slug}/
            filter: 'tag:hash-project'
            template: projects
   ```
1. Save the file and upload it back to Ghost admin

### Pages with Predefined Templates

For pages using predefined templates (authors, membership, recommendations, and tags), follow these steps:

1. Rename the respective template file in your theme folder:
    - `page-authors.hbs` → `page-your-new-slug.hbs`
    - `page-membership.hbs` → `page-your-new-slug.hbs`
    - `page-recommendations.hbs` → `page-your-new-slug.hbs`
    - `page-tags.hbs` → `page-your-new-slug.hbs`
1. Update the page URL in Ghost admin to match your new slug

## Managing Navigation Links

The theme includes built-in links to some pages in various templates. You can manage these links through the locales file, but the behavior differs depending on the page type.

### Completely Removing Links

Some links can be completely removed from theme templates by setting them to `"false"` in `/locales/en.json`:

```json
{
  "/recommendations/": "false",
  "/projects/": "false",
  "/writings/": "false"
}
```

### Links That Fall Back to Ghost Portal

Authentication and membership-related links cannot be completely removed. When set to `"false"`, they fall back to Ghost's default Portal links:

```json
{
  "/signin/": "false",    // Falls back to #/portal/signin
  "/signup/": "false",    // Falls back to #/portal/signup  
  "/membership/": "false" // Falls back to #/portal/account
}
```

This ensures users can still access essential authentication features even when custom pages are disabled.

### Changing Link URLs

To update the URLs of these links, modify `/locales/en.json`:

```json
{
  "/signin/": "/login/",
  "/signup/": "/join/",
  "/recommendations/": "/my-picks/",
  "/projects/": "/works/",
  "/writings/": "/posts/",
  "/membership/": "/subscribe/"
}
```

## Removing Pages

### Pages with Custom Routes
- Remove the corresponding route from the `routes.yaml` file
- Note: Authentication links (`/signin/`, `/signup/`) will fall back to Ghost Portal even when removed from locales

### Pages with Predefined Templates
- Delete the corresponding page in Ghost admin
- For non-authentication pages, you can completely remove links using the locales file
