That is, if it's a template issue. If you want to link from content to content in markdown, you'll have to link manually, either using relative or absolute path.
Hi everyone, I wanted to try to upgrade to 3.2.0 today and I found out after some fiddling that the thumbnail-generation now no longer works via a plugin but is part of lektor. I have a config for that thumbnail generation which essentially pre-generates thumbnails for me to use in content rather than templates. I looked in the documentation but I didn't find any reference to that, is it still possible to blindly generate thumbnails for certain widths/heights?
Thumbnail generation has been part of lektor for a long time in this template-driven form, 3.2 just brought some upgrades
@xlotlu That is the plugin I was refering to before, unfortunately there appears to be a compatability issue between lektor 3.2.0 and lektor-thumbnail-generator 0.4.0. The issue appears to be that "computed_height" was removed in favour of "compute_dimensions" in lektor (the former of which the plugin in the current version relies upon). Should I create a new issue in the repo for the plugin? The fix should be relatively simple assuming there are no more breaking changes.
The change can be done in two lines (import and one function call to be edited). While the call has changed further this API-change was already anticipated, but an already merged change was reverted in the last commit (on the plugin) which also introduced an enforced Gaussian blur which is a choice that doesn't really make sense to me.
Sorry for spamming the channel, I have created a pull-request with the plugin that would solve my personal issues: skorokithakis/lektor-thumbnail-generator#3
You could of course write a plugin that generates pages from an external API, using lektor's "virtual source objects" (they're documented, it's the mechanism e.g. lektor-tags uses to publish tag pages). But it's just some very custom code plus duct tape, it wouldn't take advantage of lektor's models.
@nixjdm Hello Joseph, I created an issue regarding the installer.py. I believe I fixed it, you will find a gist linked in the comments of this issue: lektor/lektor#808
Hey everybody! I'm using the
checkboxes type in a model (let's call it the case_studies model). The field that uses checkboxes is the fields.authors field. I'd like to populate it from another model's entries, i.e. the teammates that have been created. Is this possible? Or might I be thinking a bit too far-fetched here? (No worries if it isn't supported, I just was thinking of minimizing duplication, so we could use one source of truth for "who can author a case study".)
Hi everyone, I have an issue using the "markdown" type in model. The markdown is rendered outside its parent in the template.
model:
...
text: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
...template:
<p class="card-description">
{{ this.text }}
</p>rendered html:
<p class="card-description">
</p>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
<p></p>Do someone know what can cause this problem?
I've tried
items = "this.children.filter(F.pub_date)" but the list is empty then
Hello, guys. Could you help me with this issue. I need to put a link to specific version of css file. For example:
<script src="./assets/js/paper-kit.min.js?v=2.3.1" type="text/javascript"></script>But if I use asseturl filter like that
<script src="{{ '/static/js/plugins/paper-kit.min.js?v=2.3.1'|asseturl}}" type="text/javascript"></script>there is an empty link in a result page.
How I can solve this?
@evilangel-ru as it's a static server the version (
v) query isn't doing anything functional. You can drop it from the URI and just call paper-kit with {{ '/static/js/plugins/paper-kit.min.js'|asseturl}} and ensure the actual content of the paper-kit.min.js file in your project are from v2.3.1.
Nevermind, I need to learn to read: assets does that. https://www.getlektor.com/docs/project/structure/
@Monette5 Lektor outputs HTML, it's not responsible for the layout/design of it. There's many, many ways you can design your dropdown navigation. By having Lektor output HTML into a list (as documented here https://www.getlektor.com/docs/templates/navigation/ ) you can then use a combination of CSS (and optionally Javascript) to create a drop-down menu - there's hundreds of example here: https://codepen.io/search/pens?q=dropdown+navigation
Hey there!
I have a question concerning Alternatives. According to the docs, in order to create some alternative content, I need to duplicate the entire .lr file and this option worry me. Let’s say I want to add a Spanish translation to a website that has English as the main language. If I understood correctly the process, I need to duplicate the .lr files, add the language extension (fe: contents+es.lr) and change the content from English to Spanish. The issue I see with this process is that not everything needs to be translated, for example, images. Some images may have some text that needs to be translated into Spanish, but most of them do not. Is it possible to avoid duplication?
Is there a way to keep the alternative content inside the main .lr file? Any example of a lektor code base with alternatives to look into?
Thanks

@roberto-arista The image isn't "embedded" into the
.lr file - so you can just reference the same image (it's just a link). May many pages of the site (and "alternatives" can reference the same image - it's not effected by the image)... if fact: lektor has a "problem" - all attachments (inc. images) will always be outputted to the "primary" alternative (so you will have /en/ in the URL to the image, even if it's a "ES" image).

Is there a way to reduce Lektor Admin to not show both the "overlaid" and "primary" when using Alternatives? We have 3 languages, but by showing 4 Alternatives it's confusing for Content Producers and content is lost/out-of-sync as some times users update the Primary and sometimes the overlaid.
I have been trying to utilise summernote as a plugin for the admin interface. I have created a plugin following the instructions in the lektor docs, however although I can append a summernote div to the admin UI I can't replace the textarea body with it or show the summernote controls. Theoretically summernote is really easy to initialise with some html and a script, so am I over-thinking this by going and writing a plugin for it?
Hello! I have been using lektor for a couple of days and it feels just great! However, I am hitting kind of a ceiling with my lektor deploy ghpages workflow. With Gihub requiring soon ssh connections, and since I am using signed commits globally, I have to input a password three times to deploy with lektor (2x ssh for the branch then push + 1x gpg for signed commits). It's a bit of a hassle. Any idea or tips to help me lower the numbers?
My interim solution is hardcoding the alert into a function, and using a field to enable/disable the alert on each Page. I'd really like this to be something a non-tech person can update though.
