Magazine Blog Taxonomy

[theunearther]

Say I want to make a magazine style blog with the following structure:

/ - a home page listing the current issue
/issues - an archive page listing all issues
/{issue} - lists the issue
/{issue}/an-article - post page

Let's say that any issue has a number of sections, let's say: Editorial, Music, Sports, etc. So, for example, 'Issue One' would have a list page with articles under each section.

I'd also like to be able to list, say, all 'Music' articles across issues.

I'm interested to know how others might go about implementing this with Eleventy Collections, tags, or globs.

Thanks
Ryan

I would use this file architecture

src
- index.njk
- issues
  - issues.njk (archive page)
  - issues.json (add default tags & layouts)
  - music
    - music.json (add default tags & layouts)
    - an-article
       - uploads
       - index.md
  - sports
    - sports.json (add default tags & layouts)
    - another-article
       - uploads
       - index.md

Which would yield:

/ home page
/issues issue archive page
/issues/{issue} specific issue
/issues/{issue}/an-article/index.html post page

The eleventy starter blog has an example of an archive page FYI

@ecotyped If you're satisfied with this answer, could you mark it as "accepted" please?

Yeah, I reacted instead of marking. Thanks to @ItaiAxelrad, much appreciated.
