As a very old contributor of DasBlog's back in it's CodePlex days 12 years ago, I would very much like to see this upgrade! Cheers Tom
I like the idea! @thousandtyone @tomwattscom
A few questions/thoughts that come to my mind: -
My thoughts are mostly inline but please add your ideas too. :)
@poppastring - My personal opinions:
@poppastring , @tomwattscom - do let me know if the above seems fine or if you have any additional ideas/thoughts since you might know the older implementation much better than me.
@thousandtyone I think we are agreed, go for it! 👍🏿
Done with this @poppastring. PR Submitted already. Please feel free to review. I've added documentation of how to use static pages and how this can be tested at:
https://github.com/poppastring/dasblog-core/pull/688
Please do let me know if any added changes need to be made. Once the PR is merged, I will start working on caching for these pages and will also submit the test cases for this feature.
I'm closing this since the basic implementation is complete. I'll continue to work on pieces like caching and test cases and will open them a different issues if that's okay. Feel free to re-open if you believe they should all be tracked under the same issue.
Legacy DasBlog had support for static pages. You could make a HTML file and put it inside static folder and it would automatically pick up those files and integrate them with the blog as static pages. A lot of blogging engines like WordPress also have support for pages. Here is an example of static page running on my blog (which I am going to migrate to the new version):

Hence I was thinking about working on building support for static pages in DasBlog. Is this something that we feel we should support as a feature for new DasBlog? I'm happy to work on it and submit a PR if others feel it will help or add value.
