Trying to add acanonical link tags to the head of my Middleman App document via HAML but not sure how to do it.
%link(rel="canonical" href="current_page.data.canonical")
Using YAML such as
---
title: Swan Physio
description: This is the description
canonical : http://swanphysio.co.uk
---
You can do it like this:
%link(rel="canonical" href='http://example.com#{current_page.url}')

I have simple jekyll site. Every post in _posts has paramter author in it's front matter:
---
layout: post
title: my title
author: John Doe
---
...
How should I set permalink in _confing.yml if i want it to be /author/title/?
For example post above would have permalink:
mysite.com/john-doe/my-title/
Thank you for help.
I solved this using jekyll_custom_permalink plugin.
Installation
Add the plugin to your site's Gemfile:
group :jekyll_plugins do
# your other jekyll plugins...
gem 'jekyll_custom_permalink', '~> 0.0'
end
Then run
$ bundle install
Usage
Lets assume that you have some options for your collection "projects" defined in _config:
collections:
projects:
output: true
permalink: projects/:title/
You would like to use custom Front Matter in the paths of your projects. For example, it would be great to be able to include the Front Matter variable type in the links to your projects, which is defined in every file belonging to the "projects" collection.
---
layout: page
type: python
title: MyAwesomeProject
---
Some content
You can use the type variable in your permalink by first adding it to an array of custom permalink placeholders for the collection, and then adding the placeholder to the permalink setting prefixed with a : like every other Jekyll placeholder.
collections:
projects:
output: true
custom_permalink_placeholders: ["type"]
permalink: projects/:type/:title/
These settings lead to the "project" page, shown above, to be live at /projects/python/MyAwesomeProject.

Im using middleman to render index.html.erb (int), index.us.html.erb (us), index.br.html.erb (br) to load localized content.
It works fine with all locales except for BR.
I have created locales/br.yml
---
br:
hello: "Hello"
Also, my config.rb file has proper i18n activation.
# Country specific pages ('source/html')
activate :i18n,
:mount_at_root => :int,
:templates_dir => "html",
:langs => [:int, :in, :us, :br]
When I visit http://localhost:4567/br it load int template for br
Also, please note if Im using the build source, it works perfectly fine. But I in development environment while running server with bundle exec middleman BR doesn't load correct template.
Please let me know if you need any more code from my side.
I've recently converted from Octopress to Docpad and couldn't be happier. I like everything, but one thing bothers me. At the moment all paths on my site are built directly from the filename, e.g. www.site.com/posts/yyyy-mm-dd-title/. What I want to get is www.site.com/posts/yyyy/title. I found the Date URLs plugin, but cannot understand how to set it up. I tried inserting the relevant part into docpad.coffee as follows:
docpadConfig =
plugins:
dateurls:
cleanurl: true
trailingSlashes: true
collectionName: 'posts'
dateFormat: '/YYYY'
templateData:
site:
But nothing seems to change. The collection is defined as follows:
posts: ->
#getCollection("html").findAllLive({relativeOutDirPath:'blog'},[date:-1]).on "add", (model) ->
model.setMetaDefaults({layout:"post"})

I didn't try the debug mode before. Now I did, but I don't see anything special in the log. Here's the log file.
I've installed the plugin on my blog to check it out. I think there is a bug in documentation or it is just supper misleading. Documentation doesn't explicitly say that the url is build against the date metadata with dateFormat configuration and file basename without the date. I copied your configuration use it agains my blog with post 2015-02-16-test-test.html.md with metadata: date: 2014-09-25 9:49.
result url: http://localhost:9778/2014/test-test/
So the plugin works. Do you think that docpad doesn't pick up any configuration for the plugin? If you are configuring docpad with docpad.coffee I suggest you to validate the file, if it is created according to coffeescript rules and you have right indentation. Some time ago I had a situation that my config file grew a lot and some of the config was not picked up because of indentation.
Or just give access to the project so I can see and tell you what is wrong.
MORE DETAILS TO THE ANSWER AFTER CHECKING THE PROJECT:
Filename can have a date. The plugin uses regex to take just the string out of the filename - basename.
Locally I've commented out your hook into the renderBefore event, installed the plugin, added your config and all works as expected if it comes to the urls. So I get a URL like /2014/movie-quotes/
On the other hand it works when the server is started, but when I look on the out dir and try to generate the static content, it looks like the plugin doesn't work. Is this what you mean when saying that plugin doesn't work?
I have a markdown file as follows:
---
title: My Page
categories:
- first
- second
---
In my _config.yml file, I set the permalink to /:categories/:title.html
So when I generate the site, the permalink ends up being /first/second/title.html, whereas
I was hoping Jekyll would create /first/title.html and /second/title.html
Is there a way to do this without custom plugins?
Cheers
The easiest and to me best way is to define the permalink via frontmatter. This is also great for search engine optimization. First you tell Jekyll via _config.yml how Jekyll should build the links if you forget to set it via frontmatter:
_config.yml
# Build settings
permalink: /:categories/:title/
Define a permalink...
2014-10-17_my_post.md
---
layout: post
title: 'Post with permalink'
permalink: /this-is-the-unique-permalink/
---
My Post
According to these docs, it looks like each Jekyll page can only have one category. categories is kind of a misnomer, because you're really defining a "category hierarchy" - like a file path - so the post really resides in a single (sub)category. In this limited sense, you can't do what you want with vanilla Jekyll.
However, Jekyll will process files just sitting around in any directory that doesn't start with an underscore and it follows symlinks. So, for example, if you make directories for each category and place your page in one of them, you can create symlinks to any number of other "categories".
mkdir first second
touch first/page.md
ln -s ../first/page.md second/
I am deploying my github blog using jekyll-bootstrap.I try to modify Rakefile to change the result of $rake post title="test" and then this command will generate a file named test.md（without date） in _posts directory,but unfortunately,when I run
$jekyll serve
locally,it seems that jekyll do not think test.md is an available post,what shoul I do?
I think that what you want it's custom url for your posts.
Leave alone the rake task, because the final post filename is generated in accordance with a permalinks pattern see permalinks documentation
By default you posts are generated following the default pattern /:categories/:year/:month/:day/:title/index.html
If you want to change this pattern, in your _config.yml, use permalink key :
permalink: /blog/:year/:month/:day/:title/filename.html
