So, I've added custom badges here and need them listed on the sidebar as cards are but I'm not sure how to accomplish this; will need some guidance

[iantrich]

I need further help on this. I'm not sure how to structure the docs so that I can get the badges in the sidebar.

@iantrich The main problem with this is, that Jekyll does not support nested collections (which you are trying to do as it seems).

I see 2 possible options:

1. Add a _badges folder next to _lovelace but that will disconnect it from the user experience maybe.
2. Add a type kinda variable to the frontmatter in every markdown in the _lovelace collection (e.g., card, badge) and filter the collection when creating those 2 separate menu's. In order to reduce effort on changing all of them, the default of the frontmatter config can be set to card in the Jekyll config, so it only needs to be overridden for badges.

I have to be honest here: Both aren't pretty IMHO. 😢

I might just throw this in the views markdown for now 🤷‍♂

Well, that is a good start, right? :)
