When I put the following in my template, I get the error Unclosed section "active} <div class="menu"> {{#menu}} {{#active}} <a href="{{{url}}}" class="light active">{{label}}</a> {{/active}} {{^active}} <p>hello</p> {{/active}} <a href="{{{url}}}" class="light">{{label}}</a> {{/menu}} </div>

Is there a way to show the first frame (or just any image) of a (local) video (located in the same folder as the .md file) as a preview image rather than just the play icon? This seems to work fine for external video hosted on Youtube, but does not seem to work for video stored in the same folder

For some of my entries I want to have a title, for some of them I would prefer not to have one. I modified the Blog template with {{#title}} <h1>{{title}}</h1>{{/title}} and I thought that would solve my problem. I.e. if the post didn't have a title then there would be no title shown, but Blot uses the file name as a title if there is not title in the frontmatter. I tried having an empty title, i.e. title: but then the title became "null". Is it possible to have some entries to have no title?

I've been getting this error when I try to sync Dropbox, change to a different client, or reset my folder, but this message in orange prevents from doing anything. Is there a fix?

I have tags showing on my archive page and also my main page. I'm experimenting with using tags to help me build a custom RSS feed. I would like to exclude these tags from the Popular Tags list and even from the post itself. Ideally, these tags would be internal for me to use but not visible to the user. Is this possible?

Is it possible to require a password in order to access a site, or a post.

Is there a smart way to add a discrete copyright statement (eg. C 2023 XX, all rights reserved) as a footer to all pages? I'm using Diary template. Thanks!

Is it possible to get the length of the post content? It could be used to calculate reading time, display the post in a different layout, etc . if we have a way to get the number of characters.

Is it possible to list {{#allEntries}} in reverse order—oldest at the top; newest at the bottom?

When I'm on a post, it would be nice to see other posts matching the current posts tag(s). I played with this a little in my custom theme, but couldn't figure out how to filter the entries by the matching tag(s).

Upon enabling Clicky tracking on the services page, I'm prompted for a Tracking ID. Clicky provides me with a Website-ID (which seems to be embedded in HTML tracking codes), a site key and an admin site key. Neither of them seems to be working, as Clicky does not count any visits. What can I do to fix this?

I'm trying to remove the feature images from both the recent list and tagged pages when using the magazine theme but can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I would like to check if we can set custom 404 messages? Thank you.

I love the hover preview used in the bigfoot footnotes within the magazine theme. Just wondering if there was a way to do similar when hovering over wikilinks (similar to that of wikipedia or obsidian)?

Is it possible to make an image into a clickable link in blot?

I'm using a text file as my landing page. I'd like to have that page appear without reference to when it was published. At the moment, information about when the page was published appears in the upper right hand corner of the page. Can I turn that off?

I'm rebuilding my linked text-files folder to play nice with Blot and struggle with how Blot renders wiki-links. When all my apps remove path to file when viewing notes, Blot for some reason retains "./path/" inside "a href=". Which forces me to use a "pipe text" every time I need to make a wikilink, i.e. a monkey routine copy-pasting the entry title again and again I insist that the best way to handle wikilinks for Blot will be "Shortest", not "Relative" path, bow to the simple folder design. Shortest path "when possible" is the default for either Obsidian or iAWriter, and it helps to maintain text database, make editing faster, and avoid errors in creating and re-writing links. Even Obsidian misses a ball with fixing links, when files get renamed. Is there a way to adjust template so that Blot will render wikilinks differently, leaving out "path/"? Or is there a script that will do the same or will add a missing "|pipe text" to the end of every link? Or maybe there is an option to always use "entry title" instead of a "link text"?

Hi. Are wikilinks working as expected? I have the title of a post enclosed in double square brackets, in a page. But the link is broken. It inserts spaces instead of hyphens between the words and doesn't respect my link format. Example: I want a link on this page to link to this post. But it doesn't. Thanks

I am trying to use "Extrinsic Calibration Algorithm between a Stereo Visual System and a 3D LiDAR" for the link text of a wikilink, but it does not work. However, "Extrinsic Calibration Algorithm between a Stereo Visual System and a LiDAR" works. Is there any limitation for the link text?

Hi all. I would like to implement brid.gy fed support on my blog. I have had webfinger working before but the instructions here are a bit different and I am unsure how to do this. This lets my blog be its own fediverse end point rather than tie it to some mastodon instance which I have left for a variety of reasons. Here's the support link from brid.gy. I am unsure how to accomplish this on blot or if its possible even: https://fed.brid.gy/docs#redirect+these+URL+paths Thanks for any help! BTW, I am still active on Pixelfed. Just not on mastodon. This is not a requirement for me. Just a fun to have optional thing to learn.
