Conscious Collective

15. Archive Listing and Associated Modal

The Archive is managed as a single listing of past Conscious Collective editions. Each Archive entry contains the information shown on the timeline and the content that opens in its associated modal, so both parts are maintained together in the same entry.

15.1 Page Setup

Go to Content Manager → Page → Archives. The Archives page uses the two-column layout and the Primary Page Shell. The page standfirst appears below the title, and the archive timeline is added inside the Main Region.

15.2 Archive Timeline

The page contains a section called The timeline. Inside this section, use the Archive timeline listing block to manage the editions that appear on the Archive page.

Each row in the Archive timeline represents one past edition. Keep the entries in the order in which they should appear on the website.

15.3 Archive Entry

For each annual edition, add or open an entry inside the Archive timeline listing. The listing entry includes:

15.4 Associated Modal

The modal is not created as a separate Page entry. It is authored inside the same Archive timeline entry under Snapshots. This is the content a visitor sees after opening the snapshots for that edition.

The modal is flexible and can be built from the available content blocks. In the current example, the content includes a mix of WYSIWYG, Responsive image, and Image and content blocks. Use the combination and sequence that best suits the approved content for that past edition.

As with other flexible content pages, break the story into logical sections rather than placing everything inside one deeply nested block. Save and preview as you work so you can check how the modal sequence is translating on the frontend.
