Slashes in blog prefix

[chastell]

In Middleman 3 it’s possible to have slashes in blog prefix – e.g., blog.prefix = '1/125' – and they work.

In Middleman 4 the support seems to have been lost; source/1/125/index.html.md still renders under /1/125/, but source/1/125/2016-03-20-example.md no longer renders under /1/125/example/ (this is with activate :directory_indexes).

Here’s a minimal repro repo: this commit works, this one does not.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong and it worked by accident?

Thanks for the great bug report. That does look like a bug.

Will take a look as time allows. There's not a lot of available time to focus on blog, with the v4 core requiring much of my attention. Thanks for your patience.

Oh good – so I wasn’t breaking any implicit rules/assumptions (or, y’know, basic engineering æsthetics). ;)

(The actual use-case is my 1/125 photoblog – hence the seemingly unnecessarily fancy blog prefix.)

Will take a look as time allows.

Sure thing and no worries – this is a super minor issue, probably not affecting anyone else. Thanks so much for Middleman – it’s the bee’s knees!

I finally had the chance to debug this, and after a long, stern look it turns out this is most probably not at all a middleman-blog issue, but rather tightening of the filename structure (maybe a tilt 2.0 thingie?) – my use case was broken due to the files being named 2017-01-24-foo.md rather than 2017-01-24-foo.html.md (i.e., missing the .html part). This worked in Middleman 3 / Tilt 1, but not in Middleman 4 / Tilt 2.

Happily closing this one – thanks so much for all your great work on Middleman! ♥
