What is my folder path in Netlify CMS using Jekyll

In the Jekyll config, source is set to source: ./jekyll
A collection that lives in that source ./jekyll/_work
Netlify CMS Config inside admin folder ./jekyll/admin/config.yml

The path to the folder where the documents are stored

Collection path references from the admin config folder: "_work"

The admin CMS actually creates this folder in the root of the repo with the html file inside of it

[Question] The path to the folder where the documents are stored

Does the admin config path have to include the Jekyll source again e.g. folder: "../jekyll/_work"

Solution

  • The folder paths in the Netlify CMS config.yml are relative to the root of your repository.

    In this case:

    folder: "jekyll/_work"

    Notes:

    • media_folder is also relative to the root of the repository
    • Do NOT prefix your paths with location starts (ie "./" or "/")
