I just started with nanoc. I am wondering if someone can explain me how I should create blog posts and how to add them in the feed?
I know how to create items, but how do I create posts in the blog folder? Also how to show the 5 most recent posts?
Blog posts are just like other items, and it’s up to you to decide how you want them to be identified. Some people like using “kind: article” while other people prefer to stick them in a content/blog/ directory.
nanoc comes with a Blogging helper. Take a look at the #atom_feed method, which can be used for generating an Atom feed. This method takes an :articles parameter containing a list of articles (by default, it will take the items with “kind: article”). This way, you can create a feed for a specific collection of items.

I want to extract the pages mentioned in the infobox and templates of pages.
E.g. From this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
I want to extract all of the links in the infobox, like: "Genetics", "Introduction to Genetics" etc.
I want to do it, by using the sql dumps, possibly avoiding to parse the xml of whole pages, and I don't want to do it with APIs.
I could not find a way.
While Pagelinks does include also the links of infoboxes, I cannot find a way to exclude them.
I thought Templatelinks may have that info, but it is not: I could not find the pageids of the corresponding links in infoboxes.
Where is this information stored?
Or which kind of tables should I look at?
I consulted previous questions:
where can I find the infobox templates used in wiki?
and Mediawiki reference:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Templatelinks_table#Schema_summary
but could not find a solution.
That is a sidebar rather than an infobox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Genetics_sidebar
I don't think there's a way of doing it other than parsing the content of the template to extract the links or using the API: e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=links&titles=Template:Genetics%20sidebar&pllimit=100&plnamespace=0
Something like this should also work but it's not returning any results for me:
SELECT * from pagelinks
where pl_title = 'Genetics_sidebar'
and pl_namespace = 0
and pl_from_namespace = 10

I was thinking about creating different templates for products (not with different features but with different html organization and css) because the standard "pic on the left and data on the right" is not enough for a well-made user-centered ecommerce.
I tried the custom post types but they are blog post and can't access the product data.
in my custom product.conf i added my custom post data
"acceptTypes" : ["store_item", "custom-product-item"]
but obv. it won't work.
maybe if I could access the store_item could be easier to do this, but i can't find on the repo.
anyone has some suggestion?
Unfortunately, although it used to be possible to create custom post type products, that stopped being possible within the last year or so.
If you want to create your own template for products, you need to override the products.list and/or products.item files with your own. By placing them within your /collections folder, it will override the system default ones.
That means you have to write it entirely from scratch. Here are a couple resources that may help (despite being outdated):
http://www.bcarroll.us/developer-platform-tutorials/2014/10/20/products-pages
https://answers.squarespace.com/questions/57343/productsitem-for-adirondack-template.html
Having overridden products.item, if you want to have different templates for different products, you can do something like:
{.equal? item.urlId "myurlid1"}
{#|apply products1.block}
{.or equal? item.urlId "myurlid2"}
{#|apply products2.block}
{.or}
etc.
I'm trying to get an rss feed of a list of tweets with a given hashtag, including the images that may be attached to the tweets.
I've used several different scripts out there, but none include the media_url entity that I believe I need, according to twitter's docs on API entities. They do include other necessary things like author, tweet description, author profile pic, etc.
I've used labnol's script, no luck.
I'm currently using Twitter-RSS-Parser, which doesn't give me an image link either.
I'm not very familiar with any of the actual coding, just trying to piece together other people's findings.
Is there a way to edit either of these scripts to provide a link to the image attached to each tweet, or any other script out there that already does this?
Thanks!
Those labnol scripts will need the following parameter added to them &include_entities=true
That will ensure that Tweets which have photos will have their entity meta data returned.
I ended up using tweedledee (can't find a link anymore!) scripts, which allow for specific queries and output in JSON. From there I was able to format the JSON data as needed.
When I make api query sometimes I have list with few pages. For example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ask gives a lot of pages, I need website "Ask.com, a web search engine, formerly Ask Jeeves"
can I make query only for some category ("websites")?
How I can check category for each page in response?
Thanks
There is no trivial way to do what you're asking. You could do something like this:
Get the list of pages the disambiguation page list. You could do this by listing the links on that page (action=query&prop=links).
Get the categories of all the pages from the previous step and use that to decide which one is the one you're looking for. This is not that simple, because Ask.com is not directly in Category:Websites, it's in one of its subcategories.
I have list with few pages, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ask
The problem is that you're not getting a list of pages, you just are getting an ordinary page which is in the disambiguation pages category. To get the list, you need to get the links in that page.
can I make query only for some category ("websites")?
No, mediawiki does not support that.
How I can check category for each page in response?
Use the links property as a title list generator and get the categories of each page in the response. In your case, that would be http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=Ask&generator=links&prop=categories (don't forget to continue the query).
If you are OK with "full-text search" for "ask",
you can do that like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&generator=search&gsrsearch=ask%20incategory:%22Online%20companies%22&prop=info
As you can see, "search" text is [ask incategory:"Online companies"]
The same solution also can be seen at:
Wikipedia API: how to search for a term in a specific category
I'm not quite sure if this is possible in MediaWiki.
I've got several categories, each containing a few pages. If you open a category page you'll see the contents of the category that usualy consists of these three parts:
A user defined text (which can be edited by using the edit link).
All subcategories that are attached to this category.
All pages that are attached to this category.
My goal is to create a page that includes at least part #3 of several categories. A page that shows me all page names that are attached to multiple categories of my choosing, grouped by their category.
My first approach was to use the standard transclude syntax of MediaWiki:
Category A contains these pages:
{{:Category:A}}
Category B contains these pages:
{{:Category:B}}
Category C contains these pages:
{{:Category:C}}
...
Unfortunatly, this only transcluded part #1 of a category: the user defined text. The page name listing was missing.
My second idea was to have a look at the parser functions. Perhaps there are some functions that offer enumerating through the pages of a category. But I didn't find any.
Perhaps there is a MediaWiki extension out there...
Is there a clever way to realize this?
Try http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree, with the following syntax:
Category A contains these pages:
<categorytree hideroot="true" namespaces="-">Category A</categorytree>
If you want more control over how the results are displayed, you may want to give Semantic Mediawiki a try.
The syntax would look something like:
Pages in Category A:
{{#ask:[[Category:A]]
|format=ul
}}
Even if you are not using semantic properties, you can use the query mechanism to display pages based on categories.
The MediaWiki extension Dynamic Page List (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_(third-party)) does this with ease, producing bulleted lists of articles in a category:
Pages in Category A:
<dpl>
category=A
</dpl>
without a heavyweight solution like Semantic MediaWiki. Just install and go.
DPL has a rich syntax for more powerful dynamic lists. For example, to produce a numbered list in 3 columns:
<dpl>
category=A
mode=ordered
columns=3
</dpl>
