Blogs / Share

[randomouscrap98]

This may not actually be implemented here in contentapi, but I'll move it later if so:

• Blogs are parents, pages are children of parent, must mark parent to turn it into a blog
  • Must set "share" = true on parent for it to become a blog
  • Can set "share-title" = "title" on parent to name your entire blog (won't impact the slug)
  • Can set "share-author" = "author" on parent to say the author of the entire blog, name will appear on all subpages
  • Can set "share-style" = 1234 on parent (maybe on children later) to point to another page that will have the styling for your blog
• Available at potentially /share/parent-slug/child-slug
• Fully statically rendered pages
  • Pages are crawled on startup, looking for the "share" = true value
  • Any pre-existing pages that are no longer readable should be removed
  • Listen on websocket (using anon token) for updates to pages, run same regeneration
  • Deletes also remove existing pages, WARN: cannot see when a page goes private!
  • Keep local database of content - revision pairings (simple enough to be json) so you don't regenerate pages already generated
  • Will also need to track style pages everywhere and update them whenever an update comes along for them.

So:

• Top level directory has basic shared stuff, like the 12y renderer
• Top level also houses the global style store, so you don't have to regenerate every page that references a style and they can all reference the same styles
• Each blog is a folder with an index.html, the parent itself has the content for the main page
• Each child page is a simple html page, have nginx check for pagename.html in the tryfiles entry for all subpages in the blogs folder
