Providing an "online link" in the page footer

[Luc Saffre]

Hello,

in my footer template I usually have something like this::

  <a href="https://www.lino-framework.org/{{ pagename|e }}.html">Online link</a>

It's practical for me because usually I watch the generated output in my local build, but sometimes I want to see the published version of it.

The trick works perfectly for me, except on sites where I use the dirhtml builder. On such a site a can remove the ".html" in the href::

  <a href="https://www.lino-framework.org/{{ pagename|e }}">Online link</a>

which works for most pages, but *not* for the index.rst page of a directory. Any thoughts on this?

Hello Luc,

I use the following to "am I on the master page?" (usually file index.rst).

Somewhere near to the top of template I define (in action):

{%- set ismasterdoc = pagename == master_doc -%}

Later:

{% if ismasterdoc %}

  <a href="https://www.lino-framework.org/">Online link</a>

{% else %}

  <a href="https://www.lino-framework.org/{{ pagename|e }}/">Online link</a>

{% endif %}

Thanks, Matt.  I got inspired by your idea and now use this::

  {%- set url = "https://www.example.com/" + (pagename[:-5] if pagename.endswith('index') else pagename +"/") -%}
  Online link: <a href="{{url}}">{{url}}</a>.

Your example worked on the master page but not on the lower level directories.
