Create summary page

Developing with Concrete
1

I have a vast collection of book catalog pages with serial number, images, text, etc. and QR code.
Now I want to crate a pagelist where I can see (and print) only the serial number and QR code.

I have tried a different page template to just switch and see/print the data but I think that is not the appropriate way. I guess creating a summary page would be the correct way, but I didn’t succeed just using a different page template and adressing the summary page. I did not find a step-by-step documentation.

What would be the best and simplest way to achieve this?
There’s maybe a more simple way.

Thanks for shining light on this problem.

How are the pages built. Is it just content blocks, or are the serail# and QR codes page attributes?

Thank you JohntheFish for responding.

Serial # is a Text Attribute and QR code is a HTML Attribute.

This is with an Atomik (emtpy) installation on cms 9.4.1

You were heading in the right direction with a block template for the page list. You will need a template that can display those attributes.

In the marketplace, some possibilities are:

You will need to check whether they can

  • Show your attributes in their listing instead of the default name/image/description
  • Render the QR code from the HTML attribute.

If not, you will need to code some php and create your own custom block template for the page list.

Thanks for pointing out possibilities and options. I continue trying to make a custom block template.

I just wonder, if calling in the summary page is mandatory for such use?
$renderer->renderSummaryForObject($page, 'my_page_name_xxx');

Are you using the boards summary system? You don’t need that complexity. All you actually need is a page list block. There are other examples of page lists in the Atomik sample content, or you could look at the Elemental templates and sample content.
