Organizing Folder Structure
Anybody know how I can organize my file system better than having all the sections in the folder app/views/sections
(i.e. split into multiple folders like: app/views/sections/folder1 && app/views/sections/folder2)
When I put my sections into different folders, those sections don't show up in the User Interface

Using variable into section set up
Hi everybody,
I use a text_color section setting as select in all my sections. To avoid writing the same c olors array in every section, i have created a variable to store all the custom colors, now I need to use this variable in section settings like this ` {
"label": "Theme color",
"id": "theme_color",
"type": "select",
"options": colorsSpectre
}`
but it's not working.
How can I do it?
Thank you for advance

Unable to update a content type
Wagon: 2.4.1
We currently have a problem where we cannot edit add a field to a content type. We are able to edit details about current fields but when it comes to adding a _new_ field, the `deploy` command is not working for us. This site was handled by many other developers and has sat a bit stagnant.
These are the steps we take:
1. Add a new field to a content type
2. Use command `bundle exec wagon deploy staging -r content_types -vvv`
Should this not add a new field?
We have come up with a workaround that is a bit inconvenient where we delete the content type and then re-add this. This also means we have to deploy all the data with it.
If anyone is able to help us out with this issue, we'd be very grateful.

Is there any possibility to get the hosted page running on IPV6? I found nothing in the documentation?

Nested sections
Is it possible for sections to contain other sections?
For example, I'd like to have a page with a sections_dropzone.
Then I want to create a Container section to control layout/background properties.
Then I want to create a Title section to drop into the container.
Then I want to create a Media section to drop into the container.
After some experimentation, I'm not sure this is possible OOTB. Thoughts?

Section blocks_display: tree and i18n
Hi. First, thanks for the awesome job you do with LocomotiveCMS!
I'm building a new website using locomotive. It has the regular navigation header with some nested links.
I could figure out how to nest menu items, but I think the docs could be improved in this topic.
Anyway, my question is related with internationalisation. When defining a nested menu and deploying, only the first top items are showed in the secondary languages. For instance:
If I'm creating this structure:
- Features
- Testimonials
- Hosting
- Personal
- Freelancer
- Agency
- Enterprise
- Documentation
For the default language (EN) it seems right, both in the editor and the preview. But for the secondary language I'm only seeing this structure in the editor:
- Features
- Testimonials
- Hosting
- Documentation
Because I don't understand the difference between global_content and default section's properties, I've been trying both with similar results.
Can anyone help with that? Thanks!

Can I make a subscription-based website in locomotive?
I want to make my own custom subscription-based website in the future, and right now I'm just in the research phase on which method/software to use as I don't want to use woocomerse or teachable. Can I make a subscription-based website in locomotive?

Search among content_type entries
I've already read this question (https://doc.locomotivecms.com/discuss/5f4f4c6f7b7bb5002a75e8f5) which deals with site-wide search, and this question (https://doc.locomotivecms.com/discuss/574370bc6b0c5c0e00099b4d) which is talking about searching content entries in the Back Office.
What I want to do is create a search form to filter content entries on the front end. I'm using the hosted version of Locomotive CMS. From what I can tell there is a site-wide search available but it requires an Angolia account (https://github.com/locomotivecms/search).
I have found this GitHub thing (https://github.com/Papipo/locomotivecms-search) but I can't tell if this is something that I can use in the hosted version of Locomotive CMS.

how to set up custom domain for a website on a heroku-hosted locomotive
Hi,
I just deployed my locomotive app successfully to heroku (using mongoDB Atlas instead of mLab since it's not available anymore).
I was wondering how to set up a custom domain for a specific website and I found some answers [here](https://doc.locomotivecms.com/docs/domains), but unfortunatly it uses a IP redirection to work, and it seems to me that free heroku-hosted app have no static IP addresses. So the proposed solution does not seem to work in that case.
Am I wrong ? If so, can you help me ?
Thanks,
Grégoire
