custom routes

[jaro-io]

hey everyone 🪐 ✨
i am using a few simple custom routes, to remove parent page slugs from urls. it seems like the staticache plugin just ignores these pages? at least on my side, no cache files are generated. for all other pages it’s working fine.

any ideas on how to solve this?
thank you so much!

Staticache directly hooks into Kirby's page cache and only caches the canonical URL of each page.

What you could do is to manually store the result of your route in a HTML file inside the cache directory. Your web server will then pick the cached result up from there as if it was cached by the plugin.

In the future it might make sense to hook into the router instead of into the page cache. This would allow us to handle routes natively. But it would also lead to an entirely different configuration setup.

Just wanted to add I also have this issue.

I solved it by manually setting up a redirect for it to look in the parent's static cache folder for the sub-pages. But realistically the static caches should be generated based on the routes configured rather than the "CMS" paths as if you do any route work it makes the caching completely useless as it is.
