Questions

Has anyone gotten the CSS correct to float and image left or right using the magazine template? I have made a few attempts but either I break something else or not displayed correct. Basically want to wrap text around an image on a post

Not so much a question as an observation. It looks like the certificate for the preview domain has expired, so blog previews are not working.

When creating my blog, I deleted the links on the links page to the Archive page and Blog page. Is it possible to re-create them? When I simply add those same links again, they don't reappear.

Following up on this question I would like to find out more in detail how to "hard code the JSON variables into a script tag" when I need to work with them in JavaScript. For example the tags variable in the page's JSON structure, how can I access this in JavaScript? Do I read it out of the DOM , say, in the load event? Sorry, but I am a bit confused here.

As a huge Blot fan I truly cannot consider any alternative for any reason. But when it comes to managing your own server, I was wondering if there'll be a version of Blot that can be self-hosted one day?

I have initialized an empty repository with a first commit and a few files, but when following the instructions for adding an existing repository here, I get error: No such remote 'origin' Have I missed a step?

Is there any way to switch the color variables for background color and text color in the Blog template when someone is using dark mode? I know how to do it with a media query in CSS, but I'm not sure how to do it with variables defined in a JSON file. Thanks!

I see that it is possible in this example site but I can't figure out how to do it. Do I just have to delete some part of the HTML?

I'm new to Blot, tried searching through Questions but didn't see anything that answered this question exactly. Is there a way to hide tags from showing on the left side of the Magazine theme?

A file in the Pages folder makes a link. Can there be multiple posts in that "link"? The result would be links to folders that contain tagged posts (or files put in that folder automatically tagged.) It looks like the Archive folder has been modified here to begin what I'm after.

All the Blot data like entries and tags are stored in a JSON structure associated with each page. (I mean the JSON data I can see when I add ?debug=true to the page.) When I'm on the page how can I access (and modify) this JSON info via JavaScript, say, in the load event? I assume the JSON structure is stored as an object somewhere in the DOM?

Hello! Do you have a way I can integrate with GoatCounter? I'm a software dev in my day job, so I'm totally ok with writing some custom JS on my site if there's a way to do that. Thanks! :D https://www.goatcounter.com/

I'm trying to create multiple grid for each tag instead of a single grid but when I try filtering with a tag it doesn't render images. Here's where my entries.html files is at: {{> header}} <div class="entries"> {{#allEntries}} {{#tagged.nuvu projects}} {{#thumbnail.large.url}} <a class="post photo" href="{{{url}}}" style=" max-width:{{thumbnail.large.width}}; max-height:{{thumbnail.large.height}}; width:calc({{thumbnail.large.width}}px*{{thumbnail_size}}/{{thumbnail.large.height}}); flex-grow:calc({{thumbnail.large.width}}*{{thumbnail_size}}/{{thumbnail.large.height}})"> <i style="padding-bottom:{{thumbnail.large.ratio}}"></i> <img src="{{{thumbnail.large.url}}}" class="pre-loaded" onload="this.className+=' loaded';" /> <noscript> <img src="{{{thumbnail.large.url}}}"> </noscript> </a> {{/thumbnail.large.url}} {{/tagged.nuvu projects}} {{/allEntries}} </div> {{> footer}}

Here's a weird one. I use the link (🔗) emoji in the title of my linked blog posts. But that has caused the first letter in the title of this post to be lowercase instead of uppercase. (It also has the permalink problem noted here.)

In a page template I can iterate over my tags via {{#tags}} ... {{/tags}}. I then can display the tag name via {{name}}. So far, so good. Some of my source tags start with "cat-" (e.g. "cat-science" or "cat-computer"). However I would like to display only the part after "cat-" (i.e. "science" or resp. "computer"). Can I do this?

I do have two images in the blog I've written, but I don't want the thumbnail to be shown on the home page. How can I do that?

About this topic I asked a more specific question yesterday(*), but here a more general approach: Is there a way to mangle the value of variables in mustache via some sort of function? Also, in the specific case of tags, I saw that there are two variables: {{name}} and {{tag}}. According to the doco {{name}} is an "Alias for tag". So can I somehow tweak how this alias is generated, say always cut of "cat-" from its value if the value always starts with "cat-"? (*) But I'm not sure whether the other question "drowned", because I myself had added a comment which appears as an answer...

Any idea why my Links don't follow the order I've specified in Settings? See 'Search' not at far right. I've had the order get jumbled from time to time, and I can't figure out why it would change without my interaction.

Hello, I've followed your instructions to get my local dev environment running, and it runs but then exits immediately. Checking the logs doesn't show me an error (that I can see) but it's like it shuts itself down immediately.

How do I set up two blogs? Do I have two separate Dropbox "master" folders, one for each blog?
