Jekyll Plugins

Here are couple of plugins that I've wrote for myself. You'll probably want to tweak them according to your needs before usage.

Categories

Each category is treated more or less as a separate blog. Archive pages and tags are per category.

I've configured Jekyll's permalink as /:categories/:year/:month/:title.html so categories are named url-friendly (smallcase, no spaces etc.). Tags are on the other hand free form, so I mangle tag names to form urls.

Usage

Generator won't run unless there is layout named categories, which is also a default layout that will be used if there is no layout named same as category.

Titles for category pages are read from config. For each category, key #{category}_title is used.

Pagination

Gallery

Gallery plugin generates gallery pages from image folders.

Usage

Example directory structure:

• photos
  • 2012-07-25-Summer Vacation
    • thumbs
      • image1.jpg
    • image1.jpg
  • 2012-09-10-Birthday Party
    • thumbs
      • image2.jpg
    • image2.jpg

Only config parameter is file system path to images direstory.
