"map[]" above every post tile

Did some further investigation. Turns out it is mandatory to have the [params.writers."Some Writer"] parameter in the configuration. My workaround for now is to set a dummy writer:

  [params.writers]
    [params.writers."Another Author"]
      link = "https://www.anotherauthor.com"
      email = "[email protected]"
      bio = [
        "Another author is a something</a>. This is the author bio shown after posts."
      ]
      facebook      = "full profile url in facebook"
      googleplus    = "full profile url in googleplus"
      twitter       = "full profile url in twitter"
      linkedin      = "full profile url in linkedin"
      stackoverflow = "full profile url in stackoverflow"
      instagram     = "full profile url in instagram"
      github        = "full profile url in github"
      pinterest     = "full profile url in pinterest"

Would it be possible to either make this a little clearer in the documentation, or change so that the params.writers.* is not necessary for the homepage to load correctly?

There is a related issue that the Author link in the Single.html does not show up if you are not using params.writers. This is not the case in Portfolio.html where the .Site.Params "authorlink" conditional works.

Ok, better documentation is needed and one more iteration of this "feature"..

[MatthewMcD]

I have fixed this and one other bug I haven't reported related to categories with two words in my build. I'll submit a PR later today.

Ok, perfect!

[MatthewMcD]

OK, by "later today"' I really meant "later..." hopefully this week.

[agustinf]

"hopefully this year".. oh wait!

😄 I'm just kidding, but in case you have at least a partial fix, could you point me to it ?

[MatthewMcD]

Yikes, how bad am I at estimating. Let me re-fetch the code and get back to you.

[MatthewMcD]

OK, you can easily repro if you comment out the

[ params.writers ]

section of the config file (leaving the [params.social] intact). This causes the

[map]

to show up on the home page before every post.

I have traced it to the portfolio.html page and line 10:

07 {{ if .Site.Params.writers }}
08    {{ $scratch.Set "writer" (index .Site.Params.writers (lower .Params.writer) | default dict) }}
09  {{ else }}
10    {{ $scratch.Set "writer" .Site.Params.social | default dict }}
11  {{ end }}

I don't know how to debug this further. In my case I didn't "fix" it I just added a bogus [ params.writers ] entry. HTH

[MatthewMcD]

OK, I have this all fixed but in doing so I ran into something that could be interpreted as a bug, so before I submit a PR to fix this issue let me ask. If the author of the post leaves the writer empty in the post front matter like this:

writer = ""

What would the expected behavior be? It currently defaults to the Params.social fields and uses Params.social.email. If you remove the writer attribute all together it displays Params.email instead.

Tell me what you think and I'll submit the PR accordingly.

Cheers.

I opted to just document the behavior. PR Submitted.
