jenny's Issues

How about built in `jenny create`?

Hi, jenny is simple awesome!

Btw, it will be convenient if jenny have build in command like jenny create to create post. Something like jenny on make install will check default $EDITOR on terminal env. If not exist then offering the default editor to use---together with other setup during make install.

This command jenny create will ask for title then automatically create *.md file with name contain current date and title then open this file with default $EDITOR.

It's must be very helpful for people---like me---who uses eleven finger to type (mostly use index fingers only). :))

Even though I'm already create custom script for my need, but it's would be nice if jenny have this kind build in command.

Incorrect index.html generation

If you have enough posts that the navigation becomes visible, an entry is mistakenly generated in the list of blogposts that does not belong there. In your blog, this is the entry "Under Page 2".

See https://manilafunctional.com/

Thanks for the cool project :-)

md2html.awk dead link

PREFIX is not respected after installation

After running make install PREFIX=~/.local, jenny still searches for some files in /usr/local. It seems that’s due to the fact that SHARE_DIR is hard-coded.

where is layout dir?

in https://github.com/hmngwy/jenny ,i didn't find layout dir.

Populate feed.xml with full blog article contents

I need some help getting my RSS feed populated which the contents of my blog articles, please. Default settings only generate title, URL and date of each article.

So I tried adding $(echo $POST_CONTENTS) in-between <description> and </description> without luck.

My updated .layout/rss2.sh looks as follows:

#!/bin/bash

# Break apart the LIST payload
IFS='✂︎' read -r -a array <<< "$LIST"

function index_loop {
	for (( idx=${#array[@]}-1 ; idx>=0 ; idx-- )) ; do
    [ "${array[idx]}" ] && eval "${array[idx]} list_item"
  done
}

function list_item {
cat << _LOOP_
<item>
	<title>$(echo $POST_TITLE)</title>
	<link>https://example.com$(echo $POST_URL)</link>
	<description>$(echo $POST_CONTENTS)</description>
	<pubDate>$(echo $POST_DATE_RFC822)</pubDate>
</item>
_LOOP_
}

cat << _EOF_
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
  <title>Super sweet blog project</title>
  <link>https://example.com</link>
  <description>$(echo $POST_CONTENTS)</description>

	$(index_loop)

</channel>
</rss>
_EOF_

Path error during deployment / Installation issue

There is a path issue, inserting bin/ before share/ when running jenny, see my output:

github integration?

hi, im trying jenny and im liking it so far.

do you think it's possible to have a repo with my jenny blog and use github pages to publish it ?

im currently using jekyll on github pages and id like to keep my current repo for my blog.

thank you, and great work on jenny, simple and fast!

themes for jenny?

something like this in .blogrc which user can configure and then jenny will build it according to what user has set.

THEME="default"
# THEME="dark"

also linking external css would be better because then jenny can have many themes without messing the code too much.

something like this in index.sh & post.sh

if theme=dark
 link dark css
else if theme=theme1
 link theme1 css
else
 link default css

Tests

• Test installation
• Test script setup stage, symlinked
• Test script setup stage, installed
• Test blank blog directory render
• Test CLI option overrides
• Test valid blog render, with and without .blogrc
  • Test indexes
  • Test tags
  • Test rss
• Test uninstallation

Add optional time for future posts

Add optional time for future posts so that they can be scheduled to go live at a specific time instead of just when ever the post date is when jenny is ran. Use case, having multiple posts on a certain date, but they need posted at different times of the day.

Create a blog initiation script / subcommand

• Asks for a directory where you want to start a blog
• Should prompt for .blogrc values and generatethe file
• Should ask if user wants to create a filler hello world post
• Ask if user wants to install helper aliases, or just display them for manual installation

gawk regexp escape sequence is not a known regexp operator

Malformed url in tag feeds

A friend of mine spotted an issue in the feed for a tag.
The item link looks like http://manilafunctional.com./../post/python-list-comprehensions.html (comes from your website ). If the ./../ can be supported by webbrowsers (it works in firefox in my case), it do not work for some feed readers

where did u get the executable file jenny?

这是测试1.

root@AR:/usr/local/jenny-site# ./jenny

but i wonder how u generated the executable file jenny?
tks

Static link in code?

I was considering this static blog generator but it kind of disturbs me that there is this link:
http://manilafunctional.com
all over the code.

Why not use an ENV-variable (like $HOST) for this?

I don't want to clean all of the source for myself before compiling it.

List of posts aren't following YYYY-MM-DD pattern

I am using jenny a couple of days, amazing job, congrats.

I created new post file using touch "$(date +%Y-%m-%d) hello-world.md" and edited after.

When I published with docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/blog hmngwy/jenny:latest -c the html files are rendering to .dist folder, as you describe in README.

But something weird happen, the index.hml contain a list with the same date(today) - for eg.:

my list of markdown files
 2022-11-24 hello-world.md
 2022-11-25 about.md
 2022-11-25 books.md
 2022-11-29 sobre-jenny.md

The date used in index.html for all itens will be - (rendered by jenny):

11/29/2022 Sobre como usar o gerador de sites jenny
11/29/2022 Book List
11/29/2022 About me
11/29/2022 Hello World

Am I doing something wrong?
