TYPO3 12: Link to page inside folder doesn't work

Question

I'm working on a metanavigation that should link to a number of pages inside a folder. Currently my page tree looks something like this:

• Home

• Meta Navigation (Folder)

  • Search

  • Login

However, when trying to link to one of the pages inside the folder using following code;

<f:link.page pageUid="{item.data.uid}">{item.data.title}</f:link.page>

the link isn't generated.

I've tried replacing {"item.data.uid}" with the page id, which also didn't render any link in the frontend. However, when I replaced the variable with the page id of "Home", which isn't inside a folder, the link got rendered in the frontend.

I'm guessing that I'm missing some typoscript config, that allows me to link to pages inside of folders, but I can't seem to find anything.

Answer 1

As Jan already correctly mentioned in the comments you need to place the folder with your meta navigation pages inside your root-page.

• Home
  • Meta Navigation (Folder)
    • Search
    • Login

Else the routing to your pages won't work.
