Passing options to the config.rb file?

[jasonmelgoza]

@marnen Is it possible to define the :separator in a sites config file?

[marnen]

No—I didn't think of doing that. Pull requests welcome!

[marnen]

Actually...wait, you could do it manually, by simply calling the breadcrumbs helper with separator: config[:separator] or something. At least I think you could; does Middleman complain if you use set with an unexpected property name in the config file? (I've never tried to do that, and am not at my personal computer right now to check.)

@marnen That's the stuff! Got this working locally like so.

# Breadcrumb separator template
@separator_template = " / "

# Activate middleman-breadcrumb gem
activate :breadcrumbs
set :separator, @separator_template

Then in our .slim template I did this.

p = breadcrumbs(current_page.parent, separator: config[:separator])

Great. But there's no need to use an @instance variable -- a local variable, or just a plain string literal, would do.

I'll probably make this a config setting at some point -- you're right that it should be one.

[marnen]

Oh, also, you should normally call breadcrumbs with current_page as the first argument. Is there some reason you're using a different value?

[jasonmelgoza]

Don't know. A team-mate implemented the plugin before I jumped in. I'll give those suggestions a shot though. Cheers!! 🍻

[marnen]

Reopening: I should still make this a real config option and have it pick up the default from there.

[marnen]

Working on this.
