Feature request: Optional change on landing page

[rsangole]

Calin,

For the landing page, could we optionally add code that would give us something like:

Title Subtitle (Posts in the past 7 days: x)

x can be a link to take us to posts or projects. The intent of this is to allow new visitors to quickly see if there's something new published recently...

You can copy index.html to your site's /layouts directory and change it there.

Thanks, let me try that out. Any idea how I can get a count of the new posts in the past 7 days?

[jamestharpe]

You can list pages by date:

{{ range .Data.Pages.ByDate }}

And use where to filter the pages.

I can try to come up with a more complete example, but it might not be until next weekend that I have a chance to put it together.

I'm having trouble with this as well, here's what I've done so far:

I copied index.html to my site's layouts directory. I took the contents of the theme's list.html and put it in the index:

{{ partial "header" . }}
<main>
  <h2>{{ .Title }}</h2>
  {{ range (.Paginator 5).Pages }} {{ partial "list-item" . }} {{ end }}
</main>
{{ partial "paginator" . }}
{{ partial "footer" . }}

This works well - I get a list of posts. But it also grabs my pages (for example, about.md) and puts those in the list. How do I avoid that? I'm trying to get my index.html to behave exactly like the theme's Posts page...I'm close, but I'm missing something.

Wonderful work on this theme, I really do love it and it's very easy to work with...Thank you for working on it and making it available!

I tried to solve this myself, but I couldn't do it. (I'm no css guru!). I don't want to keep this issue open... if it's too tough, we can close it...
