Generating multiple files from the same markdown page #167

Closed frafra closed 3 years ago

frafra commented 3 years ago

Hi, we would like to generate multiple files from the same markdown page, but it seems that Jekyll does not support that. Do you have any suggestion on how to do that?

Here is what we tried and the reasons behind this need: https://github.com/gbif/hp-living-norway/issues/11

Thank you :)

I'm afraid I do not know up front how to do this either, but the generators you mention sounds right to me.

Reading issue gbif/hp-living-norway#11 I'm not sure that it is the correct approach either though. But I'm not entirely sure what the goal is - especially as the terms collections and projects are already in use in the GBIF APIs, but I suspect you mean something else.

Hi Morten :)

From our limited understanding, it is not possible to get all the datasets belonging to a project, as /dataset/suggest returns a maximum of 20 results. collections seem to be a group of institution and people, not datasets, so I would say that we are looking on how to define collections of datasets. We are relying on regular tags at the moment.

MortenHofft commented 3 years ago

If we mean the same thing with project then you can get all dataset belonging to a project by filtering by the projectId and page over those results

https://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/search?projectId=GRIIS https://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/search?projectId=GRIIS&size=100&offset=100

/dataset/suggest is intended for autocompletes - as in the user types ebi and the suggest returns an array of datasets that are typically shown in a dropdown.

And you are right - in GBIF terminology a collection is best understood as a museum collection. E.g. a herbarium from a specific institution. So it isn't a collection of datasets as such.

Thank you, Morten. We did not tought it was possible, as projectId is not mentioned as possible parameter for the /dataset/search endpoint :)

MortenHofft commented 3 years ago

That is a mistake. I have added that. Thank you

@frafra I'm closing this issue as I believe you have already identified the correct approach - namely generators. Lets continue the discussion about the Living Norway specific issue as gbif/hp-living-norway#11

Let me know if you believe this should be reopened.
