<p>Blogging is what spawned many content management systems and static site
|
|
generators. We're living in a world where many people like to share what's
|
|
on their minds and the best way to do that turns out to be pages ordered by
|
|
the date of publication. That's basically what a blog is. Here we will
|
|
build our own blog with Lektor.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="the-models">The Models</h2><p>For a blog we want two models. The model for the <code>blog</code> itself and the model
|
|
for the <code>blog-post</code>. The idea is that we have a folder called <code>blog</code> which
|
|
uses the <code>blog</code> model which contains all the blog posts. Each of the blog
|
|
posts will use the <code>blog-post</code> model.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="blog.ini`"><code>blog.ini</code></h3><p>This is the model for the blog itself. It instructs Lektor that all of the
|
|
pages below it will be blog posts, how many blog posts we want to show per
|
|
page and what the order is. We also set it to <code>hidden</code> and <code>protected</code> which
|
|
will make it unavailable in the admin (<code>hidden</code>) for new pages and make it
|
|
impossible to delete (<code>protected</code>). This means we need to manually create the
|
|
one page later which will use this.</p>

<h3 id="blog-post.ini`"><code>blog-post.ini</code></h3><p>Each blog post has a title, publication date, author and body. The publication
|
|
date and title are also used for sorting if you look into the <code>blog.ini</code>.
|
|
Lastly we set up the label of the page to be the title of the blog post. We
|
|
can also set it to <code>hidden</code> as the model is automatically selected in the
|
|
admin whenever a page is created in the blog.</p>

<h2 id="the-templates">The Templates</h2><p>Now that we have the models set up, we want to create the templates.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="blog.html`"><code>blog.html</code></h3><p>Let's start with the blog overview page. This template is used for our <code>blog</code>
|
|
model. In this example we just want to show the titles of the post on the
|
|
overview page with the author and date and a controller for the pagination.
|
|
Because pagination is enabled we can iterate over <code>this.pagination.items</code>
|
|
instead of <code>this.children</code> which will return only the items for the intended
|
|
page.</p>

</pre></div>
|
|
<h2 id="initializing-the-blog">Initializing The Blog</h2><p>Now that we have models and templates we just need to designate a part of the
|
|
website as blog. For that create a new folder in your <code>content/</code> folder
|
|
with the name of your blog. For instance just <code>content/blog</code> and put a
|
|
<code>contents.lr</code> file with this content in:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>_model: blog
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Now you can head to the admin UI to create new blog posts.</p>
|
|
<h2 id="changing-the-url-structure">Changing the URL Structure</h2><p>With the above settings the blog will live at <code>blog/</code> and the posts at
|
|
<code>blog/<post-slug></code>. But what if you want to put the date of the blog post
|
|
into the URL? That's thankfully very easy. All you need to do is to set up
|
|
a new URL format for the children. Just edit <code>blog.ini</code> and add this to
|
|
the <code>[children]</code> section:</p>
|
|
<div class="hll"><pre><span></span><span class="na">slug_format</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="o">=</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s">{{ (this.pub_date|dateformat('YYYY/M/') if this.pub_date) ~ this._id }}</span><span class="w"></span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
<p>What this does is that it will prepend the year (<code>YYYY</code>) and month (<code>M</code>) to
|
|
the ID of the page if the publication date is configured. Otherwise it will
|
|
just use the ID of the page. With this change our blog post will move from
|
|
for instance <code>blog/hello/</code> to <code>blog/2015/12/hello/</code>.</p>
