Re: [Hpr] Static Site Generators - NOT a flat file CMS

Hi Mike, This needs to be a CMS for me, not a builder. I need to be able to update and access posts live from anywhere -- even if I only have my cell phone with me. So, I've basically excluded static site generators from the scope of considerationa sync / edit / build / push cycle isn't

Nikola will build the index locally, and because it uses rsync to upload, only new stuff ever gets uploaded. Not stuff that has not changed. On 15/04/2019 19:59, SoundChaser wrote: > In a bit of irony, I've just spent the last weekend digging around and > researching CMS'es... I started

In a bit of irony, I've just spent the last weekend digging around and researching CMS'es... I started with database drive systems, and then, thanks to LostInBronx and Klaatu (for running their gaming site on Grav) looking at flat file CMS's. The main issue with going the flat file approach is

It is a little heavy but pandoc can convert markdown (or just about any other format) into html while inserting header/footer text form a file. I use something like this: cat file.md | pandoc -M title:"Documents" -H ../markdown.header -f gfm -t html -o ~/Documents/docs.html >From the pandoc

Ken, I currently have raspberryvi.org in a git repository on a local machine. There is one thing you need to know when setting up a Nikola site to stop the blog from being the front page. I can share that with you if you go for Nikola. Jekyll is used by github.io pages, but don't think it has

Top posting for Mike. Thanks for all the feedback. Actually this is for HPR. I want to have the website statically available as much as possible, so you can rsync or git clone the repos and run your own site. If we consider each show to be it's own entity that is self contained but fits in

Hi Ken: If your server supports Server Side Includes (SSI) then you can add comments to the top and bottom of your pages to include a header and footer. I was doing that for a static site for a while (but then got sucked into the WordPress morass). eg. --> The insert.hti file

Ken, I've read your message, and seen many of the responses (personally I like Nikola too -- but I've not used it for any real projects). But, I'm slightly confused - your subjects says: "NOT a flat file CMS". If you don't need something that will apply CSS styling, and build a navigation

That's a great option. I've used hugo, snd i recall liking it but yesh i think it had weirdness with markdown. If Jekyll avoids that, id take a look at that. On 4 April 2019 8:25:27 AM NZDT, "Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠)" wrote: >On Thu, Apr 4, 2019, 02:38 Ken Fallon wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> Do any

Hi All, Do any of you have a recommendation for a Static Site Generators that just publishes html files. For example takes a page, adds a header and footer from somewhere and publishes the combined page. -- Regards, Ken Fallon http://kenfallon.com
