I know I can change the default layout directory by specifying the new directory in _config.yaml like this:
layouts: "templates"
Doing the same for the includes directory doesn't seem to be working. I cannot find any documentation for it either on the jekyll website. Here is what i tried
includes: "partials"
Its not working though. It would be great if anyone could help out with this. Thanks!
No way, it's hard coded in Jekyll::Tags::IncludeTag.
You can try to override the class or make a feature request to the Jekyll team if you want to be able to change include directory in the future.
Base on this doc, you can also choose to include file fragments relative to the current file:
{% include_relative somedir/footer.html %}

I am new to Go and just stumbled upon Go's present package which I imported via go get golang.org/x/tools/present.
Is there any way to customize the look of the presentation? E.g. via adjusting the default css file?
If so where are the files used for the style? I cannot find the package anywhere in my Go path...
Let's assume you have a directory myslides with some .slide files in it.
Create a subfolder theme in myslides.
Copy the folders template and static from $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/present to that new theme directory
Start present with a new parameter -base: present -base theme
Modify the styles and template files. Most small things are in styles.css.
If you change the template files, then you need to stop and restart present. If your are changing the styles only, then a reload in the browser will do (take care to disable the cache.)
I found that the only way to change presentation styles is to modify library files directly.
If you use vgo:
$GOPATH/pkg/mod/golang.org/x/tools#<version>/cmd/present
Otherwise:
$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/present
Of cause first you need to download present package: go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/present
I am trying to follow the Jekyll docs and am stuck on how to display an image
---
layout: post
title: "My first post!"
date: 2016-10-20 16:17:57 +0200
categories: jekyll update
regenerate: true

This is in the `_posts` directory.
It can be edited then rebuild the site to see the changes.
You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `jekyll serve`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
![name of the image][{{site.url}}/assets/P6740674.JPG]
I feel very silly asking this question as it is so basic but I can not find any answers to my question
Is it possibly a configuration error on my own system. I am using apache2, ruby gems, etc
Thanks in advance
If you want to use site.url, you have to add a url variable to your _config.yml file. More info in the Jekyll documentation.
But you might not have to use site.url at all. Any urls that start with a / slash will be relative to the top level of your domain. So you could do this:
I could see an images directory created under assets by default. I've placed an image as follows.
assets/images/myimage.jpg and add following line in the post.
Run bundle exec jekyll serve and see if there is any error. If you have mentioned mismatching file location, you will see error here.
The problem here is annoying simple - you have the wrong format for your image link.
It should be . You have ![name][link]. Note the difference in the brackets. Everything else is fine.
I know this is an old question but I spent some 15min on this (jekyll/github blog is my secondary blog). So adding a suggestion here.
Briefly, as Kevin suggested, add the image file to a path under the root and give path to that file. Make sure that the file/directory is being tracked; not .gitignored.
My assets directory is inside _site directory. But, when I added a new image under that path git status did not show it as newly added- .gitignore ignored the _site directory. So Kevin's suggestion did not work as is. But as per his suggestion, I reasoned that as docs is my site's root, if I add an images directory there and add the image under that then something like
should work. And it worked this way. Not sure if this is the best way. Sharing here in case you have similar config.
In my case, I forgot to push the image to remote and therefore the image didn't show. Just to keep this in mind as well.
I have a real noob Magento question. I'm helping a friend change the template their store is using but they are worried about losing the functionality of some of their extensions such as ajaxsearch. They don't know if it's actually an extension or part of the template. I can't seem to figure out if some of the extensions are built into the theme or if they are completely separate extensions. Is there an easy way to tell?
To give an example the ajaxsearch JS file's path seems to in the template path e.g http://www.example.com/skin/frontend/default/templatename/js/ajaxsearch.js
and if I go to system > configuration I can see it listed in the sidebar under Templates-Master (which I think is a brand name). In this case is this an extension and is this how file paths work for extensions? The fact that skin is in the file path is throwing me off.
Thanks!
Fast way:
Each Magento extension provided as archive (.tgz). Unpack it to some folder outside Magento and check have it next path or not:
unpacked_folder/skin/frontend/default/templatename/js/ajaxsearch.js
(another trick is look in the first lines of ajaxsearch.js file, authors often write extension or theme names in it).
Long way:
Find where is this file included on page. Search for 'ajaxsearch.js' in xml files placed in app/design/frontend/default/templatename/layout/
if not found, try to search in app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/ etc.
For example you find it in somefile.xml
Try to find which extension include this file. For doing this search 'somefile.xml' in config.xml files in local and community pools:
app/code/local/some/extension1/etc/config.xml
app/code/local/some/extension2/etc/config.xml
app/code/community/some/extensionN/etc/config.xml
etc
If you found it in ...some/extensionX/etc/config.xml - this mean what ajaxsearch.js belongs to some_extensionX extension. If not found - it belongs to theme.
How to generate not *.html files with Jekyll but files with another extension? I would like to patch it with rb plugin. Is it possible?
I tried this (googled this), but it doesn't work:
module Jekyll
# Extensions to the Jekyll Page class.
class Page
def output_ext(ext)
".myext"
end
end
end
If you want an output to _sites/ with your extension “from the box”, you can use only pages files — they're not using the permalink from the config, so those files would have the same extension you gave to them.
So, the smallest set is a file page.my-ext at the root of your project, having a YAML front matter (could be empty) like this:
---
---
Foo
Such file would be visible to the Jekyll, you could use any liquid markup inside, or use any layout for it, and then this file would be saved to the _sites/ with the same name it was before.
You can't use such file in /_posts/, 'cause when there is a permalink set, Jekyll saves files only as .html.
Custom plugin with converter works for me, but also only for simple pages — posts from /_posts/ are still getting .html, so it seems that it's hardcoded there.
So, the only way right now is to use simple pages instead of posts. And if you'd like to iterate through all such pages as you can do with posts, you should read on how the pages_list module from Jekyll Bootstrap is made — I think it's something like that.
EDITED:
Sollution found here:
http://jekyllrb.com/docs/permalinks/
You can specify the permalinks in the markup post. It will unfortunately not work if specified in _config.yml
According to my tests, if you enter:
permalink: /whatever/filename/with/arbitrary.xtension
in the markup post, your index file will be named "arbitrary.xtension" and placed in the folder:
/whatever/filename/with/
For other applications where the content of the file needs to be consistent to the extension, this plugin might perhaps help you:

I am new to Pyrocms and reading the documentation I could not change fix my problem. I need my own template to be incorporated that is I want to change the default one provided. How can I do that. I really need a help.
Go into:
system/cms/themes/default/
This is the folder where you can find the default template of pyrocms. There you will see folders like "views, css, js, img" etc.
You can start by modifying views/layouts/default.html and views/partials/ folder.
Ofcourse if you need to change css and/or js you need to modify them too.
By the way this is the official pyrocms documentation for editing themes:
