Just wondering why the liquid contain statement doesn't seem to see that there's a link in the url?
YAML Front matter
javascript:
- https://external.js
- local-script.js
Footer file:
{% if page.javascript %}
{% for script in page.javascript %}
{% if page.javascript contains "://" %}
<script src="{{ script }}"></script>
{% else %}
<script src="{{ script | prepend: '/assets/js/' | relative_url }}"></script> cat
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
the output is
<script src="/assets/js/https://external.js"></script> "cat"
<script src="/assets/js/local-script.js"></script> "cat"
The YAML front matter thinks you have created a variable called https with the value of //external.js. You can test that by calling {{ page.javascript.https }} and see if it returns //external. The solution would be to write your YAML front matter strings like this:
javascript:
- 'https://external.js'
- 'local-script.js'

I'm trying to use relative_url in most of the links of my Jekyll theme, so if someone wants to have this theme working in a subdirectory he can do it.
I have a problem with the list of categories of the post, each of which should link to the archive.
In _layouts/post.html I have this code:
{% if site.data.settings.categories.active %}
{% include categories.html %}
{% endif %}
categories.html has this code:
<div class="categories">
<span><p>Categories:</p>
{% if post %}
{% assign categories = post.categories %}
{% else %}
{% assign categories = page.categories %}
{% endif %}
{% for category in categories %}
{{category}}
{% unless forloop.last %} {% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
</span>
</div>
Here's the problem:
{{category}}
Somehow, this returns the current post url.
{{category}}
This returns the correct link, but does not work in case the site is in a subdirectory.
Why it returns the post url?
There are multiple problems here.
First off, Liquid doesn't evaluate nested constructs.
Therefore, the following code:
{{ "/categories/#{{category | slugify}}" | relative_url}}
needs to be rewritten into:
{% capture url %}/categories/{{ category | slugify }}{% endcapture %}
{{ url | relative_url }}
Secondly, there is no global post object. Therefore {% if post %} is always going to evaluate to a negative. i.e., it is redundant.
I'm creating some templates with Twig and have an issue.
I'm trying to load a piece of html that is used several times troughout a webshop. So my idea is to create a reusable piece of code that I can load everytime when needed.
The problem I'm facing is that when I do a for loop and then include that piece of code I get an empty return. With other words my code doesn't recognize the data that need to be loaded for each product in the for loop. It returns empty info boxes.
To clarify:
I have a main template index.html which calls a snippet to include some products (don't look at rain extension!!):
{% if featured %}
{% include 'snippets/products.rain' with {'products': featured, 'type': 'grid'} %}
{% endif %}
My products.rain snippet looks like this:
{% if type %}
{% if type == 'grid' %}
{% for product in products %} {# Products in this case = feautured products #}
<li class="item clearfix">.... etc etc .... </li>
{% endfor %}
{% elseif type == 'other-layout' %}
<div class="item">.... etc etc .... </div>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
In the for loop there's html that's for 95% the same as in each for loop. I want to place that code inside a block that can be included in the for loops.
So what I did was:
{% set product_html %}
.... a lot of html ....
<a href="{{ product.url | url }}" title="{{ product.fulltitle }}">
<img src="{{ product.image }}" width="100" height="100" alt="{{ product.fulltitle }}"/>
</a>
{% endset %}
And then included in the for loop, like so:
{% if type %}
{% if type == 'grid' %}
{% for product in products %} {# Products in this case = feautured products #}
<li class="item clearfix">{{ product_html | raw }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% elseif type == 'other-layout' %}
<div class="item">{{ product_html | raw }}</div>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
However this returns the html that is set however with empty product.image and empty product.fulltitle.
I tried the same with set block, but that has the same result.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong....??
When you are using {% set %}, content inside your variable is not dynamic, it will only use data in your current context, see it live.
You can achieve your goal using 2 ways: using include or using macros.
As your piece of code for a product is small and not reused somewhere else, I suggest you to use macros:
{% macro product_html(product) %}
Current product is: {{ product }}
{% endmacro %}
{% import _self as macros %}
{% for product in products %}
{{ macros.product_html(product) }}
{% endfor %}

I'm creating a style guide in Jekyll and using Collections to define different elements of the guide. For example, headings, lists, etc.
I'm trying to separate the Sass into files that match up with the partials, one to one, and I'd like to render the Sass files as part of each collection.
So, something like:
{% if _includes/_sass/{{ entry.title | append: ".scss"}} %}
{% highlight sass %}
{% include _includes/_sass/{{ entry.title | append: ".scss" }} %}
{% endhighlight %}
{% endif %}
Basically, what I want is "Include a file in this directory that has the same name as this entry in my collection. If it doesn't exist, don't break."
How do I do this? I've explored storing the file path in a variable but can't seem to get that to work.
Thanks in advance.
It can be done.
This works on Jekyll 3 but it can certainly be ported to Jekyll 2.
Starting from a base install (jekyll new)
_config.yml
collections:
guide:
sasssamples:
Style guide files
Our samples will be grouped in the _guide collection.
Example file : _guide/header/header1.hmtl
---
title: Header level 1
---
<h1>Header level 1</h1>
SCSS samples
We want our SCSS samples to be included in our css/main.scss and use variables defined in our other SCSS files. Our samples will be integrated at the end of our css/main.scss
We don't want our SCSS samples to render as css so no .scss extension. Switch to .txt extension
We want to access SCSS samples from a list. Let's put them in a sasssamples collection.
Example file : _sasssamples/header/header1.txt
---
---
h1{
color: $brand-color;
border: 1px solid $brand-color;
}
SCSS samples integration
Add this code at the very end of you bootstraping scss file (css/main.scss on a base Jekyll install)
css/main.scss
[ original code ... ]

{% if scssSample != nil %}

{% highlight css %}{{ scssSample.content }}{% endhighlight %}
{% endif %}

{% endfor %}
Done!
Seems it only miss on assigning the correct path
{% if _includes/_sass/{{ entry.title | append: ".scss"}}
Need to be replaced to relative path to the scss file:
{% assign scssPath = 'relative/path/to/your/scss/' %}
{% if {{ entry.title | append: ".scss" | prepend: scssPath }} != nil %}
I am trying out Jekyll to help someone who's not all that technical maintain their own static site. I would like to be able to have a images directory in the app's root /images containing images following a naming convention:
post_one_1.jpg, post_one_2.jpg, post_two_1.jpg, post_two_2.jpg ... etc.
I would then like for the user to create a post (post_one) and dynamically grab all of the images pertaining to that post from the images directory.
This plugin (https://gist.github.com/jgatjens/8925165) does almost exactly what I need, but isn't compatible with github pages.
Is there a solution in which I can hand the site off to a user and they would only need to add images to the image directory following the naming convention and then create a post and have access to the images?
Given you have a post file _posts/2015-05-28-post_one.md
From inside this post you have :
page.id = /2015/05/29/post_one
page.dir = /2015/05/29
In order to extract post_one whe do :
{% assign imgNameStart = page.id | remove: page.dir | remove: "/" %}
We now generate the base path we search for :
{% assign imgBasePath = imgNameStart | prepend: "/images/" %}
in this case it will be imgBasePath = "/images/post_one"
Loop over all our static files (files that are not pages or posts).
{% for img in site.static_files %}
And print images that have /images/post_one in their path like /images/post_one-01.jpg or /images/post_one-wathever-you-want.jpg
{% if img.path contains imgBasePath %}
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ img.path }}">
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
All together :
{% assign imgNameStart = page.id | remove: page.dir | remove: "/" %}
{% assign imgBasePath = imgNameStart | prepend: "/images/" %}
{% for img in site.static_files %}
{% if img.path contains imgBasePath %}
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ img.path }}">
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Beware of code indentation if your post is a markdown file, four space indentation can be transformed to code snippet.
Is there a way to get ahold of a posts markdown in an include file?
My include file has this code: {{workingPost.content}}
When I include this in a markdown file I get the HTML. I pass that to another include that expects markdown and instead this is passing HTML.
Is there a way to access the markdown instead of the HTML for the post?
As requested here are the code files. What they do is get a featured post for the right hand side of the site like this. In that link the code is static HTML. I want to update it to make it dynamic via the following code. I already have the first image grabbing code working when it receives markdown. I'd like to use that code to grab the first image from the post here too, but by the time the code gets it the markdown has been turned into HTML.
Include file timely.html
{% assign workingPost = nil %}
{% for page in site.posts %}
{% if page.title == 'We Convert All Dollars To Bitcoin' %}
{% assign workingPost = page %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading text-center">
<h3 class="panel-title">Popular</h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<a href="{{workingPost.url}}">
{% assign workingPostContent = workingPost.content %}
{% include first-post-image-src2.html param=workingPostContent %}
<img src="{% include first-post-image-src2.html param=workingPostContent %}" alt="{{workingPost.title}}">
<p>{{workingPost.excerpt}}</p>
<p class="btn btn-md btn-success" role="button">READ POST</p>
<br>
<br>
</a>
</div>
</div>
include file first-post-image-src2.html
{% capture result %}
{% assign htmlAgain= 'empty' %}
{% assign foundImageAgain = 0 %}
{% assign imagesAgain = include.param | split:"![" %}
{% for imageAgain in imagesAgain %}
{% if imageAgain contains '](' %}
{% if foundImageAgain == 0 %}
{% assign htmlAgain = imageAgain | split:"](" %}
{% assign htmlAgain = htmlAgain[1] %}
{% assign htmlAgain = htmlAgain | split:")" | first %}
{% assign foundImageAgain = 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{%endcapture%}{{site.url}}{{htmlAgain|strip}}
Yes translating from markdown to html is one of the first thinks made when Jekyll build. So, no way to grab the markdown in an include. The only way to bypass this limitation is to do it with a plugin. But it's not the subject.
Now back to you code. It's to complicated and fragile.
Jekyll has all the needed functionalities to do what you want to do. Don't try to do data processing with liquid. Use the tags and filters and you will not have to fear a Gem upgrade that will break your site and bring you to a really difficult debugging.
eg : somewhere in your code, you're processing a string with a | split:"/>" filter that rely on how kramdown is rendering ìmg tag. If one day they decide to remove this useless closing slash, your code will break.
The way you can go : put all the datas in your post, in the simplest form possible, and then use them with simple Jekyll tags and filter.
The idea is to use yaml Front Matter custom variables and Jekyll post or page excerpt functionalities.
In your _config.yml, define a new excerpt separator :
excerpt_separator: "<!-- excerpt end -->" # default is "\n\n" = two new lines
In all your posts :
---
excerpt_image_src: "/images/dollarsToBitcoins.jpg"
excerpt_image_alt: "Bitcoin Bulls converts dollars to bitcoins."
popular : true # I'll explain that latter
---
Bitcoin Bulls customers pay in USD but those dollars are all converted to bitcoin.
<!-- excerpt end -->
Bulls, I'm excited to announce...
In default.html
{% if page.is_post %}
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="{{ site.name }} — Atom" href="{{ site.url }}/blog/feed.atom" />
<meta property="og:image" content="{{ site.url }}{{ page.excerpt_image_src | strip_newlines }}" />
<meta property="og:description" content="{{page.excerpt}}" />
{% else %}
In _includes/timely.html :
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading text-center">
<h3 class="panel-title">Popular</h3>
</div>
{% for p in site.posts %}{% if p.popular == true %}
<div class="panel-body">
<a href="{{p.url}}">
<img src="{{p.excerpt_image_src}}" alt="{{excerpt_image_alt}}">
<p>{{p.excerpt}}</p>
<p class="btn btn-md btn-success" role="button">READ POST</p><br><br>
</a>
</div>
{% endif %}{% endfor %}
</div>
Note the {% if p.popular == true %} that filter posts with a front matter variable popular: true.
In _includes/blog-post.html :
<li>
<a href="{{ post.url }}">
<p>{{post.date | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}</p>
<img src="{{post.excerpt_image_src}}" alt="{{post.excerpt_image_alt}}">
<!-- No need to wrap excerpt in <p> tag, Jekyll does it.
If you want to put your own tag :
<div>{{ post.excerpt | strip_html }}</div> -->
{{ post.excerpt }}
<p class="btn btn-md btn-success" role="button">READ POST</p><br><br>
</a>
</li>
In _layouts/post.html :
<h1>{{page.title}}</h1>
<div style="color:#666;">by David Smith on {{page.date | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}</div>
{% if page.excerpt_image_src %}
<p><img src="{{page.excerpt_image_src}}" alt="{{page.excerpt_image_alt}}"></p>
{% endif %}
{{ page.content | remove: page.excerpt | markdownify }}
<br>
As you're not actually displaying post excerpt in post page, it's {{ page.content | remove: page.excerpt | markdownify }}. If you want to display excerpt it's : {{ page.content | markdownify }}
I don't know why but page.content return mardown and not html, so the filter | markdownify to transform markdown to html.
Et voila ! Long live Bitcoinbulls !
The markdown isn't available. It is rendered earlier and not available.
From this answer it sounds like the markdown isn't available.
In my case I made my first-post-image-src2.html include handle the case where it gets markdown or HTML like this:
{% capture result %}
{% assign htmlAgain= 'empty' %}
{% assign foundImageAgain = 0 %}
{% if include.param contains '![' %}
{% assign imagesAgain = include.param | split:"![" %}
{% for imageAgain in imagesAgain %}
{% if imageAgain contains '](' %}
{% if foundImageAgain == 0 %}
{% assign htmlAgain = imageAgain | split:"](" %}
{% assign htmlAgain = htmlAgain[1] %}
{% assign htmlAgain = htmlAgain | split:")" | first %}
{% assign foundImageAgain = 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% if foundImageAgain ==0 %}
{% assign imagesAgain = include.param | split:"<img" %}
{% for imageAgain in imagesAgain %}
{% if imageAgain contains 'src="' %}
{% if foundImageAgain == 0 %}
{% assign htmlAgain = imageAgain | split:'src="' %}
{% assign htmlAgain = htmlAgain[1] %}
{% assign htmlAgain = htmlAgain | split:'"' | first %}
{% assign foundImageAgain = 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{%endcapture%}{{site.url}}{{htmlAgain|strip}}
