currently it's static what template we use to generate pages:
pageTpl = this.theme.getFileContents('page.html'),
maybe we could just read an atribute layout
inside md files and use it to decide what template we should use to render the page.
Actually, we already have this attribute inside md files by default
<!--
layout: page
And, we could have a way to create more html pages inside theme, working the same way as index.html, which we render just with config
and metadata
.

So, post
, page
, index
and tag_archives
are built-in (required, customizable) templates, and you can create new ones by placing .html
files inside the theme package. And to create a new page, run harmonic new_page
and change the template
markdown metadata to the name of the template file (without the .html
extension).
What do you guys think? I believe it can't get much simpler than this. Later on, we can add a template prompt to the harmonic new_page
CLI.
That's a great idea guys! I'll try to make this when I have a free time. Please let me know if one of you want to start something.
@jaydson did you start something? I think I'll have a free time today.
Nope, not yet. Feel free to start :+1:
Fixed by #170.
This was never released?
@jaydson That's true. If I recall correctly, the release was pending an Wiki update and changelog.
By the way, I'm proposing #181 in order to improve the way we maintain documentation and avoid cases such as this.
:cry: I was trying to build something yesterday and noticed it was missing.
I'll check #181.
Thanks @UltCombo
Harmonic's current implementation work with just 3 template files:
index.html
,post.html
,page.html
andtags_archives.html
.This is fine for a simple blog, but for a dynamic web site, this is not very useful.
What I mean is we need a better way to handle various page templates, not just the current ones. Also, this must to be dynamic, if I want a new page template, I want to create it by myself, and Harmonic should take care of the rest.
Use case: I'm working on my blog, and I want to have 2 different pages. Each page have different structures, different HTML, etc. By having this feature, I'll be able to create as many pages I want, with different templates.
I need some feedbacks here: @UltCombo @felipenmoura @viniciusdacal
