Unpublished/Draft Tabular CMS Items?

At a glance

The community member is struggling to get a working CMS together with Baserow and is trying to implement a status feature (Published, Draft, Unpublished) for their content. They tried a solution suggested by another community member, but it only removed the content. They also realized there is no 404 page. Another community member suggested using an expression to check if the data exists and return the appropriate status code (200 or 404). The community members also discussed the need to create documentation along with educational videos for better SEO and help portal support.

Seems like a common feature we had in Webflow. What is the recommended solution?

Context: I'm struggling to get a working CMS together with Baserow. I added a single select column to set the status as Published, Draft, or Unpublished. Now I'm trying to make that actually work in Webstudio.

My first thought was to incorporate published domain items to this tip from @John Siciliano
Add to the resource: system.origin === "<staging domain>" ? <filter for any content> : <filter only published content>
But that only removed the content.

I then realized there's no 404 page. I didn't find much info on it except for this thread: https://discord.com/channels/955905230107738152/1282801181051060329

I can keep trying to figure it all out but figured y'all most likely have a go-to solution and I don't need to "reinvent the wheel"

Hm maybe something is up with the expression. If you DM me a view only share link, I can take a look

I then realized there's no 404 page.

On the status field, you can bind an expression. Something like myData.data ? 200 : 404

Translation: does my data exist? If so return 200, otherwise 404.

I'm making note to add info about this to docs as you are right, I think it's just in videos right now

We should really make it a rule to make a document along with every EDU video, also for SEO and help portal
