Improvement: Bookcase Layout #28

Closed Ran-n closed 2 years ago

Ran-n commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if there was an option to make it so the bookcase layout would read from a specific directory other than the one the _index file is in. A similar behaviour as the balloon or gallery layouts. I image it like:

--- bookcase_resources: 'path' ---

If no resource is given keep the current behaviour of using the current folder of the _index location

The purpose of the Bookcase Layout is to create another view of the List Layout, so I expect most of the use cases of the Bookcase Layout is the same as the List Layout.

I think what you try to do is to use a bookcase-like shortcode with the Blank Layout as I mentioned in #20. This shortcode will take a parameter like your proposed bookcase_resources and render a bookcase list on the page, which brings more flexibility to the advanced user and doesn't go against the design principle of the Bookcase Layout.

I opened a separate issue #34 for the implementation detail of the bookcase-like shortcode, so I'll close this issue.
