Turn off (disable or hide) "blog" section on the main page #316

Closed stalkerGH closed 1 month ago

stalkerGH commented 1 month ago

Is it possible to disable (hide) the “blog” section on the main page? I would like only the “projects” section to be visible. I know that I can turn off the appearance of links in the menu, such as to the blog or archive, but I'm talking about the main page.

You want to have a blog section but not show it on the main page? Or not have a blog section at all?

stalkerGH commented 1 month ago

I don't know what is possible (if any). My page will be not "pure blog" but I like "projects" section idea - every post illustrated with thumbnail.

welpo commented 1 month ago

Neither option is possible now. Will look into adding this option later!

stalkerGH commented 1 month ago

Thanks for reply. It's not very important feature but would be nice to have an option to enable/disable certain sections by simple key = true/false value in configuration file.

welpo commented 1 month ago

Rather than an option to enable/disable, my idea is:

Is the path for blog/projects set?
If not, don't show that section at all (this is how it works for projects)
If yes, show it

So users only need to set one variable, instead of the path to projects/blog as well as the "enable this feature" flag.

I've implemented the base idea, but now I need to fix some CSS issues. Will be ready soon.

Just added the feature in #317. Let me know if you encounter any issues!

stalkerGH commented 1 month ago

Thank you. It turns off blog posts when I click on "blog" menu entry (I got empty page). But I'd like to turn off "Latest posts" section on main page too. Could you add such option too?

welpo commented 1 month ago

That should not happen. What does your _index.md look like?

On tabi's demo, if I remove the section_path, the blog section still works fine.

Are you trying to serve posts from the base url instead of blog/? If so, that will need another change.

stalkerGH commented 1 month ago

OK, I got it. I removed paginate_byfrom _index.md in "blog" directory but forgot about _index.md in "content". I removed section_path and "latest posts" dissapears from main page.

Thank you once again for blazing fast commits :)
