Trying to customize the logo from the customizations folder but hot reloading always stops with this error. I want to clarify if the path of the logo I am importing is right or not.


Cannot find module '@plone/volto/customizations/components/theme/Logo/Logo.svg'



  24 | /* harmony import */ var _plone_volto_registry__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_4__ = __webpack_require__(/*! @plone/volto/registry */ "./node_modules/@plone/volto/src/registry.js");

  25 | /* harmony import */ var _plone_volto_components__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_5__ = __webpack_require__(/*! @plone/volto/components */ "./node_modules/@plone/volto/src/components/index.js");

> 26 | !(function webpackMissingModule() { var e = new Error("Cannot find module '@plone/volto/customizations/components/theme/Logo/Logo.svg'"); e.code = 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'; throw e; }());

src/customizations/ is the folder in your app where you create files for overriding existing Volto components.
Have a look at "shadowing" 12. Customizing Volto Components – Mastering Plone 6 Development β€” Plone Training 2023 documentation.

Do you have an import statement importing from '@plone/volto/customizations/components/theme/Logo/Logo.svg'? For shadowing, no import statement is needed.

Not able to add folder ,any one else facing the same issue or there is some other way to add these.
All the content types even the new content types created are showing except collection and folders.

Hi Tisha,
The "Folder" and "Collection" content types don't normally exist when using the Volto frontend (default in Plone6). Pages are now 'folderish' which means they act as a page as well as being able to hold content. Collections have been replaced by the listing block and should offer all the same functionality.

Okay Thank you @JeffersonBledsoe for the clarification. :smile:

I had one other doubt, when trying to create a nested content type I am not able to access it since breadcrumbs are not available for those ,I am able to access it only through the link or mention it in the listings of a page

Is this only the way to access the nested content types?

You can check the folder contents or its children by visiting /contents in any content page. For eg: https://demo.plone.org/contents
