how to exchange "blog-post-full-text-version" into "blog-post-excerpt" in the index-file of categories

[Tobias]

Hi at all, 

first thanks to you for programming and supporting blogofile. In wich way its possible to change the category-index-handling. I wish to show in the categorie-index-files only an excerpt and not the full text of an blog-post. I would be pleased, if one of you could give me a hint/tip, to change this.

Thanks for help, 

Tobias

Tobias,

I have not yet tried this, but AFAIK (I've been using blogofile (0.8-dev) for about a month) it's not possible without changing the internals. My approach would be to create a new template (by default, it'd only inherit from chronological.mako), and change the categories.py file to pass the newly created template name to the materialize_template call.

Please let me know whether the above makes sense, and if you try it out, let us know whether it worked!

HTH,

Peter

I admit this is bit hacky, but here's a way you could do what you want without modifying the internals:

In your chronological.py:

replace:

<%include file="post.mako" args="post=post" />

with:

  % if bf.template_context.render_path.startswith("/blog/category"):

    <%include file="post_excerpt.mako" args="post=post" />

  % else:

    <%include file="post.mako" args="post=post" />

  % endif

That is just including a different post template depending on the URL being rendered, in this case the category pages.

Of course that would be chronological.mako not chronological.py

And if you're using the latest git, you would need to instantiate
those templates by running:

blogofile blog templates copy _templates/blog

and then follow the directions spit out on your screen for using the
copied templates.
