wintersmith-tag-pages

wintersmith-tag-pages is a plugin that generates tag page indexes for either:

• every tag used in every article
• a set of specified tags defined in config.json

Requirements

This repo is meant to be used as a plugin for Wintersmith-generated websites. To use this plugin, simply setup a wintersmith website and follow the setup instructions below.

Setup

Setting up the plugin is very simple:

npm install wintersmith-tag-pages

Alternatively, you can define the plugin as a dependency in your package.json file and run:

npm install

In your config.json file, you must define the location of the plugin:

"plugins": [
  "./node_modules/wintersmith-tag-pages/"
]

Configuration

You may configure how the tag page generators creates the tag index pages.
Simply add a tagPages configuration object hash in config.json:

"tagPages": {
  "perPage": 2
}

Options

The following is a list of all available options. You can define these in the tagPages configuration object hash.

Name | Default | Description -------------|------------------------|----------------------------------------------- template | tags.jade | template file to generate the tag pages first | tag/%t/index.html | permalink for the first page in each tag index filename | tag/%t/%d/index.html | permalink for every subsequent tag page filter | [] | array of tags to generate pages for; if empty, pages for all tags will be generated perPage | 2 | number of articles to display for each tag page

• %t - The tag name
• %d - The page number

Usage

Once you have completed the setup and configuration, the plugin will be invoked during each wintersmith build.

Be sure to create a template file that can be used to render the tag pages. By default, the plugin will look for a file called tags.jade, but you can override this setting using the configuration options described above.

The specified template will have access to the following data:

• prevPage - The article object of the previous page in a tag's index.
• nextPage - The article object of the next page in a tag's index.
• tag - The name of the tag whose index is being rendered.
• articles - The list of articles for the current tag page.

Use this data to help build the template used to generate your tag pages. Don't forget to check whether or not prevPage and nextPage exists.
