Notes

9th May 2022 at 12:20am

going to start using 11straps for blog template, which is going to require a decent amount of reworking, especially in regards to the export template.

  • tag setup will need to change
    • no longer need to put posts in tags
    • still keep the current tag field just change the names in the export template
      • nope - will have to move the tags to the tag area, and remove the tagList field or exclude it from the template
  • some changing around of basic code, need to keep track here as I go

Tags

  • start maybe here; use Mytags and then use this operator to remove the 'My'
    • will need to exclude 'tags' in the export

filter:"[Mytags] +[removeprefix[My]]"

in regards to Remark42 - google will only allow 'insecure app access' until the end of May so a new strategy of being alerted will be necessary

  • use admin notification through Telegram

if using html in variable or any type of content you must use {{ stuff | safe }} , ie the word safe, or it won't be rendered as a safety mechanism

  • see the figure templates, captions for an example.
  • also solution to why my escaped html was not being rendered

Do not use a . in front of slash for relative references

when using {% set variable %}, you must use seperate ones for each complex variable such as when setting variables for images.

Images

I am going to see if I can use HTML escape characters to keep the macro in place while editing here, but it won't show in the exported version but instead will show via whatever image plugin I end up using.

Exporter seems to be working!!

REMEMBER to change links from tiddly markup to markdown

Tags

since the front matter has to be formatted a certain way I can't just easily use the default TW tags so the post's tags will be contained in the field postTags. I will use TW tags and the Front Matter tags feature of automatically creating collections. Ie I will create a collection post by tagging each blog post, etc.

  • actually I can't even do that because of the formatting required. all collections will have to be created manually
  • actually maybe not refer to here there is no formatting
    • the caveat here is that you can only have one tag / collection bc of formatting which for a blog's purpose is fine

Templates

blog post template used : $:/blog-post/templates/static.tiddler.html 1

  • Remark42 comment section is in here

blog post gallery template: $:/blog-gallery/templates/static.tiddler.html

correct format for frontmatter/ field

images: [ [ /blog/images/2020/09/olliedino.jpg, 0 ], [ /blog/images/2020/09/olliedreams.jpg, 1 ], [ /blog/images/2020/09/olliehardlife.jpg, 2 ], [ /blog/images/2020/09/ollieflowers.jpg, 3 ], [ /blog/images/2020/09/olliehat.jpg, 4 ], [ /blog/images/2020/09/lowridersleeps.jpg, 5 ] ]

I have been bitten by the blog bug.  Again.  This iteration I am moving to the [11ty static site generator](https://www.11ty.dev/), which is built with nodejs.  Previously I was hacking my absolute most favorite piece of software [tiddlywiki](https://tiddlywiki.com/) to use as an SSG and although I did absolutely enjoy the project, it just feels like reinventing the wheel in a far inferior form.  I will still be using tiddlywiki to write drafts and I have modified it to provide output formatted for 11ty which will be the subject of my initial posts.  All of the tiddlywiki code still resides on my [github page](https://github.com/digitalap3/tiddlywikistaticsitegen) if someone by some bizarre twist comes upon this obscure part of the webs.

In addition to the quite lofty goals I have set for myself in [My Intent for This Blog](/blog/2022/April/my-intent-for-this-blog.html) I will be posting lots of, actually probably more of, wonderfully mundane family pictures like this:

{% set imgUrl = '/2022/April/OGKidsatthetable.jpg' %}
{% set size = "80%" %}
{% set imgCaption = "I have no idea what I'm saying but it must be amazing" %}

  {% include "partials/figure-center.html" %}
