@ostudalidstva your problem is that 'this' is undefined. The 'alt' is available in a template context for a record object. Can you paste some lines of code?

Hello, this is my macro
{% macro render_blog_post(post, from_index=false) %}

<li><div class="nazory"> <img src="{{ post.img }}"><div class="blog-post">
<h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>
{{ post.description }}
<div class="morelink">
<a href="{{ post | url }}">{{ bag('articles', this.alt, 'showmore') }}</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
{% endmacro %}

@fmerges

@ostudalidstva have you tried to change this.alt to post.alt?

does anybody know where i can find a good example for a jinja filter plugin? Seen the Shout and Slugify but none of them access the relative path

Hello, me as a simple Technical Writer have Python 3.8 installed. Now I want to switch to Asciidoc but get following error:

File "C:\Users\anwender\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\subprocess.py", line 854, in init
self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds,
File "C:\Users\anwender\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\subprocess.py", line 1307, in _execute_child
hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args,
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden

Any help appreciated.

@madsaylor

@fmerges thanks a lot
btw I decided to go with Hugo in the end

Andreas Petersell

@petersell

It looks as if the lektor-asciidoc plugin does not work under Python3. That´s a pitty.

Florian Merges

@fmerges

@petersell Make sure you installed 'asciidoc' and it is in your PATH. It's an external dependency that the plugins calls via subprocess.Popen

@petersell http://asciidoc.org/INSTALL.html#X3

@madsaylor You are welcome. Just out of curiosity, what made you go with Hugo at the end?

Andreas Petersell

@petersell

Thank you @fmerges - to be honest: I am too stupid to install asciidoc on my windows machine. I have extracted it and were able to build the docs in html format. I have added following PATH variable: "C\Asciidoc" (there the asciidoc.py is located). Same error again. How do I install a .py-module on Windows?

I am having problem installing lektor on windows 10 WLS (Ubuntu 18.4). I am getting error: can't open file './src/virtualenv.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory(see above screenshot). If someone have solution to this problem please share.

Florian Merges

@fmerges

@petersell the module tries to execute asciidoc and not asciidoc.py. Modify the PATHEXT variable to include Python scripts. E.g: PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.PY

Florian Merges

@fmerges

@kodmasin_gitlab might it be that the installation procedure has problems with the WLS part? Haven't tried it so I dunno.

Andreas Petersell

@petersell

Thank you for your prompt support, @fmerges. I´ve added the new file extension but same error again. BUT: I switched successfully to lektor-asciidoctor plugin 0.1 - There everything works fine.

@FranklinYu

Hi everyone. Is there anyway to install a plugin from Git? The documentation page only mentions “published plugins”.

Franklin Yu

@FranklinYu

If we install it in the venv, should lector automatically pick it up?

Gonzalo Peña-Castellanos

@goanpeca

You can embed a plugin if you add it inside the packages script

So you could use a git submodule?

Or something like this

https://github.com/beeware/beeware.github.io/tree/lektor/packages/lektor_beeware_plugin

Where you write your pugin directly within that repo inside the packages folder

Franklin Yu

@FranklinYu

I though that there is something better… Like pip, which supports dependency over Git. Guess I’ll get back to git submodule then.

Franklin Yu

@FranklinYu

@goanpeca By the way do you have access (privilege to merge PR) in https://github.com/nixjdm/lektor-atom? I see that some issues are assigned to you.

Franklin Yu

@FranklinYu

To be specific, I was talking about nixjdm/lektor-atom#25. I was going to maintain my fork with this fix, so it would be really nice to have this included in a new release.

Florian Merges

@fmerges

@FranklinYu nothing stops you of packaging your own plugins and simply adding them to the [packages] section handling the installation yourself be it using a requirements.txt with pip or an installation script

@FranklinYu meaning you don't have to use git submodules for it

Andreas Petersell

@petersell

Inside my blog.html template I like to paste a "read more..."-Link. But both in the "lektor-read-full-post" and in the "lektor-markdown-excerpt" I get following error: E blog/index.html (AttributeError: 'HTML' object has no attribute 'source'). I am a bit disappointed because it is a feature I expect to be a part of the core blogging engine. Means it is held up to date etc. What can I do? Thank you in advance.

Gonzalo Peña-Castellanos

@goanpeca

Do you have a link to your repository? And the example page?

Florian Merges

@fmerges

@petersell Its difficult to help based on your description. I understand you are trying these two plugins out. Did you follow the instructions listed on the plugin repository?

This script will install Lektor on your computer.

@kodmasin_gitlab @fmerges Looks like like same problem on the MacOs 10.15, I'm not sure there is a problem with WLS

I installed via the pip, but if I run lektor server

./lektor --project /Volumes/My\ Book/Documents/Code/leonid.dubov.name/lektor_prj server
 * Project path: /Volumes/My Book/Documents/Code/leonid.dubov.name/lektor_prj/leonid.dubov.name.lektorproject

looks like it completly broken on macos 10.15

Hello. I have a question about pagination. Is it possible to create a template with the pagination over pages that are not direct children of the model represented by that template?

For example, if you content is structured like this:

content/
  blog/
    article1/
    article2/
    contents.lr
  contents.lr

Is it possible to create a page corresponding to content/contents.lr which actually paginate over content/blog/article*?

Ionuț Ciocîrlan

@xlotlu

@okomestudio you can either replace the children with the blog's children (and lose access to the first-level items), or get a reference to the blog record, and iterate over that thing's pagination. I haven't tested any of them but I think both should work.

For the first approach see https://www.getlektor.com/docs/models/children/#child-configuration -- replaced_with, see an example in https://www.getlektor.com/docs/guides/categories/

The second approach means doing the usual pagination set-up on blog, and iterating on site.get('/blog').pagination.items instead.

Ionuț Ciocîrlan

@xlotlu

aand, there is also [pagination] -- items in the model, I guess you'd set that to site.get('/blog').children and preserve this.children while having access to this.pagination

Taro Sato

@okomestudio

Thank you very much, Ionuț. These helped me get going.

I wish there is a layer in Lektor that allows us to more easily decouple the URL path mapping from the structure of the content directory.

Well, that would go against lektor's core design. But it would be really, really nice to have a text-based relational database that could be plugged into Django, or SQLAlchemy. :) And a plugin that generates a static website and can generate a smart dependency tree that takes into account both the db and the templates.... :)

One can dream. There is frozen-flask that does this, I'm not sure if it can do smart dependency tracking though.
