How can I add a new category to a morea site? - jekyll

Question

I'm trying to add a new 'project' category to a morea based site, where there will be a page similar to experiences page where I'll collect all course project related experiences and assignments, and maybe even modules.
Is it ok to look for pages with 'project' in their id or maybe better to tag with a new morea tag?
Do I need to also create a new entity type called 'project' or just reuse existing entities
In MoreaGeneraor.rb I couldn't find where module level page collections are prepared, like for example module_page.data['morea_experiences'].
I thought of preparing a similar collection of 'morea_project' pages and then traversing it in the new project page.
Is that done outside of this .rb file? by Jekyll? so how do I inject my collection.
Any simpler idea?...
Thank
p.s. I've also added the following (from line 3) to 'processMoreaFile()', but it does not seem to be visible at later stages:
elsif new_page.data['morea_type'] == "assessment"
site.config['morea_assessment_pages'] << new_page
if new_page.data['morea_id'].include?('project')
site.config['morea_project_pages'] << new_page
puts "--- project page #{new_page.data['morea_id']}\n "
end
but still do not know where to let each module page find out about it's 'project' pages

This is a cool idea. The simplest approach is to avoid making changes to MoreaGenerator.rb, and instead do it using normal Jekyll mechanisms. Here's a sketch:
Add a morea_label called "Project" to each associated module, reading, experience, and assessment.
In master/src, create a new directory called project, containing a file called index.md. This adds a new top-level page to your site (i.e. http://example.com/ics101/project/index.html)
Implement the index.md file with liquid tags to create the desired page layout for your project page. For inspiration, see the index.md files in the other top-level pages (readings, experiences, etc.). You can access YAML content in Liquid.
Once you've got your rocking project page done, you'll want a link to it in the navbar. See add a menu item for instructions.
Good luck! If you get it working to your satisfaction, please post its link as a followup to this question so we can see how it turned out!
