Pagination without database of massive image gallery? Possible? #2106

Closed dlewand691 closed 9 years ago

dlewand691 commented 9 years ago

Wondering if there is a way to paginate a massive image gallery of what will probably be a few thousand entries without a database or PHP? If not, any recommendations? Jquery or similar? Trying to keep the site flat and clean.

How is this related to Jade?

dlewand691 commented 9 years ago

I'm rebuilding a website from scratching using Jade, no CMS or back-end service so far. Was hoping there might be a solution given the rash of "flat-file", "No CMS" templating frameworks like Jekyll or Middleman.

Looking at other systems, if there was a way to build a loop that slices X number of entries into separate pages? Have not found any suggestions yet elsewhere, so thought I'd ask here as a possibility.

I've enjoyed success using jade in tandem with front-matter, extracting metadata from the content provided as static, then using the json result as variables in the jade build. This allows for compile-time definition of menus, pagination etc. Specifically, I've used this approach with the http://roots.cx/ and https://github.com/carrot/roots-dynamic-content tooling. The idea also applies to gulp, grunt etc.

Wow thanks so much for the suggestions, I'll definitely check it out.

What are you thoughts on Harp, Wintersmith or Sigal?

Not a Jade issue so closing. Feel free to continue the discussion though.
