I am trying to make a blog and I want to make id tags that correspond with each time a for loop runs (e.g. #section_1, #section_2,#section_(insert variable) ).
Is there some way to do that in Jekyll?
This should produce what you're looking for:
{% assign indices = "1|2|3" | split: "|" %}
{% for index in indices %}
<div id="{{ index }}">This is div {{ index }}</div>
{% endfor %}
You'll have to know in advance how many sections that you want created, and add each ID to the 1|2|3 bit in the first line.
Use the forloop.index
The menu part :
<ul>
{% for posts in site.posts %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Content part :
{% for posts in site.posts %}
<h2 id="section_{{ forloop.index }}">{{ post.title }}</h2>
{{ post.content }}
{% endfor %}

I have a tags.md which contain the code below, It list the tags from my _site/post.md
---
layout: default
title: Tags
---
{% for tag in site.tags %}
<h2>{{ tag[0] }}</h2>
<ul>
{% for post in tag[1] %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
And I also have a Collections for work stuff, like work.md in the jekyll root directory and the post in there is inside _work/
How can I make the tags.md list the tags from both _posts/*.md and _work/*.md?
I realize I can't do something like this
{% for tag in site.tags %}
{% for tag in work.tags %}
<h2>{{ tag[0] }}</h2>
<ul>
{% for post in tag[1] %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
Using site.documents should be your way to go, see https://jekyllrb.com/docs/variables/
site.documents
A list of all the documents in every collection.
Internally, posts are also treated as a collection here.
The first line below groups all documents by tag:
{% assign docs_by_tags = site.documents | group_by: 'tags' %}
{% for tag in docs_by_tags %}
<h2>{{ tag.name }}</h2>
<ul>
{% for item in tag.items %}
<li>{{ item.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
BUT the result shows quoted tag names, which is not what we want.
A better solution to group arrays
Someone else already found a good way to group arrays in posts and collections back in 2015, see https://github.com/mushishi78/jekyll-group-by-array/blob/master/group-by-array.html - the project's readme has some sample code using the include file.
The code "extracts" tags or other attributes and pushes data to arrays before data is returned to be displayed.
The solution with both post and collection tag
Just use site.documents in the include as first parameter
{% comment %}based on https://github.com/mushishi78/jekyll-group-by-array{% endcomment %}
{% include group-by-array.html collection=site.documents field='tags' %}
<ul>
{% for tag in group_names %}
{% assign posts = group_items[forloop.index0] %}
<li>
<h2>{{ tag }}</h2>
<ul>
{% for post in posts %}
<li>
<a href='{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}'>{{ post.title }}</a>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Reversing the posts order in the list
To reverse the post order under the tag, you can add a reversed to the for loop above:
{% for post in posts reversed %}
I think I'm not even sure what I should be searching for. On my Jekyll Blog I currently have just blog posts that have been written and listed with their full content on the main page and using pagination. I want to follow more Indie Web standards and follow a PESOS (Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate (to your) Own Site) method. I've figured out a way to get data from my Twitter (e.g. post_date, embed code, etc) into a YAML data file automatically. What I want to do is take the data from my posts and combine the data from Twitter and include those posts as if they were also blog posts (the plan is to do the same with Instagram as well).
I've tried a lot of things, but I'm not even sure what is the best way to go about doing this. I'm assuming that it will use something similar to Using Jekyll, how do you alter an array's contents using a for loop?, but I can't seem to make it work. My code for the blog posts is as follows currently:
{% for post in paginator.posts %}
{% if post.header.teaser %}
{% capture teaser %}{{ post.header.teaser }}{% endcapture %}
{% else %}
{% assign teaser = site.teaser %}
{% endif %}
{% if post.id %}
{% assign title = post.title | markdownify | remove: "<p>" | remove: "</p>" %}
{% else %}
{% assign title = post.title %}
{% endif %}
<div class="list__item">
<article class="archive__item" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/CreativeWork">
<h1 class="archive__item-title" itemprop="headline">
{% if post.link %}
{{ title }} <i class="fas fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="permalink"></i><span class="sr-only">Permalink</span>
{% else %}
{{ title }}
{% endif %}
</h1>
<p>Posted on {{ post.date | date: "%A %B %-d, %Y" }} by Jacob Campbell.</p>
{{ post.content }}
</article>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% include paginator.html %}
Maybe, if your posts and tweets do have the same structure in terms of fields you could concat the two:
{% comment %} Given that you make the tweets accessible from site, as a collection, for example {% endcomment %}
{% assign posts = paginator.posts | concat: site.tweets | sort: "date" %}
{% for post in posts %}
<h2>{{ post.title }}</h2>
<div>{{ post.content }}</div>
{% endfor %}
Mind that, here I am also resorting the list after the concat, via the sort filter, so the tweets do appear in the normal time series of the posts.
And if your structures are not the same, you can always resort to the collection in which your post is:
{% assign posts = paginator.posts | concat: site.tweets | concat: site.instagram | sort: "date" %}
{% for post in posts %}
{% if post.collection == 'posts' %}
<h2>{{ post.title }}</h2>
<div>{{ post.content }}</div>
{% elsif post.collection == 'tweets' %}
{% comment %} If I am not mistaken, twitter have no title concept {% endcomment %}
<h2>There was a bird singing about:</h2>
<div>{{ post.content }}</div>
{% elsif post.collection == 'instagram' %}
{% comment %} So, now, it can fit any social media of your choice {% endcomment %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I am trying to display a list of all articles using liquid markup. I've got this code which displays them properly, however I want to be able to sort by the modified date descending (most recent article on top). How can this be accomplished?
I was thinking that perhaps I need to create a new array with all articles in it and then sort that, but I am not sure how to do that. Also note that I want to sort ALL of my articles by date, not just within each folder.
{% for category in portal.solution_categories %}
{% if category.folders_count > 0 %}
{% for folder in category.folders %}
{% for article in folder.articles %}
{{ article.title }} - {{ article.modified_on | short_day_with_time }} <br>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Thanks!
You can use a variable to sort the list of articles and then iterate that variable.
{% for category in portal.solution_categories %}
{% if category.folders_count > 0 %}
{% for folder in category.folders %}
{% assign sorted = (folder.articles | sort:date) %}
{% for article in sorted %}
{{ article.title }} - {{ article.modified_on | short_day_with_time }} <br>
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
I have a question in Jekyll Liquid.
I have layout, where I want to show pages from category. To show category I use page.categories variable. When I show in bracket {{page.categories}} is correct.
but I don't know, how to pass to loop?
{% for post in site.categories[page.categories] %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% for post in site.categories[{{page.categories}}] %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
Don't work.
If I passed explicite:
{% for post in site.categories['cat1'] %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
It works.
I found another topic:
Jekyll site.categories.{{variable}}?
But it doesn't work.
page.categories is a list (see Page Variables), so you need to loop through it first and pass each category to the loop from your question:
{% for cat in page.categories %}
<h1>{{ cat }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for post in site.categories[cat] %}
<li>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endfor %}
This will first display all posts for the page's first category in descending order, then all posts for the page's second category in descending order, and so on.
Thank you. It's work.
Also I can use this code (use first on element of array, because in my case I have only one category per page):
{% assign pcat = page.categories %}
<ul>
{% for post in site.categories[pcat.first] %}
<li {% if post.url == page.url %}class="active"{% endif %}>{{ post.title }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
I'm looping through two products - on the post view page I pull in a secondary post (in the example, a related recipe) which parses just fine on the first product page - on the second product page just {{ post.content }} won't parse. I can hack it with {{ post.content | markdownify }} - but I'd like to know why it's breaking. Here's the relevant code:
{% for post in site.categories.recipe %}
{% if post.products contains page.title and post.featured %}
<div class="row">
<div class="four columns">
<h4>{{ post.title }}</h4>
<ul>
<li>Serves {{ post.serves }}</li>
<li>Prep: {{ post.time }}</li>
<li>Share</li>
</ul>
{{ post.content }}
...
<!-- All tags are closed, the rest just isn't relevant -->
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Please find my solution with counter
<pre>
{% assign counter=0 %}
{% for post in site.posts%}
{% if post.category == 'blog' and counter < 2 %}
{% assign counter=counter | plus:1 %}
{{post.content}}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</pre>
The markdownify filter is probably making it work because there might be special characters that aren't encoded in the content you're pulling from. I always forget to make my & into &.
If you're using the default Markdown interpreter Maruku, here's a list of the entities that might be giving you problems and their encoded equivalent. http://maruku.rubyforge.org/entity_test.html and more info on Maruku. http://maruku.rubyforge.org/maruku.html
