Post subfolder index pages

[Yaşar Arabacı]

Hi,

My posts page is organized like this:

    POSTS = (

        ("yazilar/*.md", "yazilar", "post.tmpl"),

    )

    PAGES = (

        ("sayfalar/*.md", "", "story.tmpl"),

    )

In my `yazilar` directory, I have a directory named `python` for my Python posts, and there is a folder in `Python`, that I use to collect 6 related posts in one directory. I am organizing my posts like this because I like the way urls are produced.

However, `domain.com/yazilar`, `domain.com/yazilar/` and other directory doesn't have generated index pages. Should I create them manually by creating a post with 'index' as a slug and listing relevant pages in it? Is there an option for nikola to create this page automatically for me?

This is a known bug, although I can't find it in the Issue tracker, so
maybe it was just discussed here.

In the meantime, you can create your own pages with index as a slug,
which will probably produce a nicer page anyway.

Created https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/issues/793 for this.

In addition to STORY_INDEX is limited issue, is it possible to add a POST_INDEX optio also? If I am not mistaken, STORY_INDEX option won't create index pages for posts folders/subfolders.

I don't quite know what that option would do, to be honest.

Consider this directory structure;

/ (root folder of nikola site)

posts/

  python/

    first-python-post.md

second-python-post.md

  linux/

    what-good-is-linux.md

command-line-magic.md

arch-linux/

 is-it-even-worth-the-effort.md

 

What I want to have is posts/python/index.html,

posts/linux/index.html, posts/linux/arch-linux/index.html etc. so that

when visitor remove some part of the url, s/he won't see the naked

directory listing, but instead, s/he will see a page similiar to

individual tag pages, that list posts that reside in that directory.

Also, one might want to make homepage static, so that he will have

chronological index of posts in domain.com/posts/index.html, instead of

domain.com/index.html

I did it this way;

Before I run nikola build, I run this code:
https://gist.github.com/yasar11732/6855470. And I have set my POSTS
and PAGES like this;

POSTS = (
("yazilar/*.md", "", "post.tmpl"),

)
PAGES = (
("sayfalar/*.md", "", "story.tmpl"),

("about/*.md","","about.tmpl"),
("subindex/*.md","","story.tmpl")
)

That way, I can have index pages on deeper folders in posts
directories rendered by nikola.
