Is it possible to have a tag-permalink option?

[edhedges]

What I mean is that with jekyll one can have a permalink: in their _config.yml to specify what each posts url looks like? Is this possible to achieve for tags?

If it is not supported in the current version of jekyll-tagging I will try to fork and contribute.

what exactly do you need control over? currently, you can set tag_page_dir in your config or overwrite Jekyll::Filters#tag_url in a "plugin".

I mean a way to specify a URL pattern. Right now the URL looks like http://domain.com/tag_page_dir/tag_name.html but what I would like to do is have it look like this: http://domain.com/tag_page_dir/tag_name/ so basically instead of making files named tag_name.html it would make directories of the tag_name and place an index.html inside them.

if you set permalink: pretty that's exactly what you get. however, there's (currently) no way to specify the URL pattern of tag pages explicitly. patches welcome ;)

How does this affect the blogs permalink? I currently have /blog/:date/:title? Sorry if I am annoying I am new to jekyll and ruby in general. I do want to contribute if possible though.

[blackwinter]

that would change indeed. i'm afraid there's no easy way out right now. short of placing the following snippet below require 'jekyll/tagging':

module Jekyll
  Filters::PRETTY_URL = true
  class TagPage; def template; '/:basename/' end end
end

maybe @pattex has some more ideas?

Thank you for all of your quick responses! I think I will just use permalink: pretty because I like simplicity (this is why I chose your plugin).

[pattex]

Sorry for the late answer. No better ideas from me.

At the moment I'm a little ill, but I'll take a look at this issue in a few days again.

Don't worry about it @pattex I don't really think it is an issue just a feature that could be added in the future.
