Questions

Is anyone else seeing that the directory in Dropbox > Apps is no longer named Blot, but is now named with the site name? I don't know when this changed, but could cause some issues for hard-coded scripts if folks have any of those. My dashboard still shows the following, but this could just be a bad artifact from the change. I don't mind it, personally, but thought I'd ask and surface the change here in case it caused any breakage for users: Dropbox > Apps > Blot

Some time ago I believe it was planned to add OneDrive as a client along with Dropbox and Git. I see now that Google Drive is planned. Is OneDrive still being considered as a future client? Thank you.

Is it possible to remove irrelevant posts that have different tag variables in the Previous and Next post sections? For instance, a post with the tag "dog" should not display any posts with the tag "cat" in the Previous section. Here is my current solution: {{#tagged.dog}} {{^tagged.cat}} {{previous}} {{/tagged.cat}} {{/tagged.dog}} However, this only solves half of the problem. If the previous post had the "cat" tag, then there will be a blank space in the Previous section. This is because it is a linear filter rather than an iteration loop. I'm looking for a better approach that not only blocks out irrelevant posts but also shows previous posts with the same tag.

Will you ever add sync support from Evernote.com?

I'm looking to integrate GoatCounter's tracking pixel: https://www.goatcounter.com/help/pixel Per their docs, this looks like: <img src="https://MYCODE.goatcounter.com/count?p=/url-goes-here"> I'd like to be able to use Blot's existing templating logic to do something like: <img src="https://MYCODE.goatcounter.com/count?p=/{{req.url.path}}">

Should the image being used as the favicon show up as the icon in an RSS reader app? In my RSS reader app, when I subscribe to my site, the placeholder is just the default "T" on a color background that the app uses for feeds that don't have a specified icon. Wondering if I need to set this explicitly in the feed.rss file in my template.

I've set custom metadata for one of my posts, as per this doc. In this case, it is for describing magic spells. The metadata is as follows: title: Magic Spell tags: spell date: 2023-01-16 isSpell: yes magicWord: boo Now, I want to have this custom metadata show up, only for posts where the isSpell: metadata is set to yes. So I've modified my entry.html template as follows {{#entry}} {{#metadata.isSpell}} {{metadata.magicWord}} {{/metadata.isSpell}} {{{html}}} {{/entry}} But when I go to the corresponding post, I can't see the Magic Word. I've added ?debug=true to the URL and I can see the metadata in the JSON, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

I know {{^last}}{{/last}} does work on Blot in principle, considering this question. However, it does not seem to work with {{#entries}}, even though some templates try to make use of it. Specifically, I am talking about the "Index" template, which tries to do the following on its archives.html part: {{#entries}} <a class="archive" href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a>{{^last}}&nbsp;&nbsp;·&nbsp;{{/last}} {{/entries}} In case of three posts in a single month, e. g. "abc", "def" and "ghi", I would expect the following to appear on the archives page: abc · def · ghi However, the {{^last}}{{/last}} block never seems to be executed, which leaves me with: abc def ghi (The spaces are probably added because of the line break in the HTML code.) I suspect that the items of {{#entries}} do not even have a last-property, which is why Mustache evaluates it to "false" (for all items)? Or is there some other problem? This happens with a freshly forked "Index" template, so I think it should work out of the box.

Just wondering if there is a way to publish audio, say an mp3 file for a podcast, in a post.

Hello, I'm trying to create a custom template, but some documentation seems to be missing: https://blot.im/developers/reference

I have a bunch of images from a trip to Bali in a folder tagged [Bali]. I tried adding a markdown file in the same folder (tagged "Bali" in the meta data) in order to add a headline and some textual information. It is actually rendered, however, only at the end of the page underneath the images. Is there a way to push the text from the markdown file to the top of the page? I tried changing the date to be more recent than the images, but images seem to automatically have render priority.

One more of these and then I'll stop trying to turn this Questions section into my own personal CSS school... for at least a few weeks. Is it possible to style checkboxes? Specifically I have a page using some checked and unchecked items; they're not intended to be editable by visitors, that's fine, but I think the 'disabled' selector is messing me up. Here's the page (I'm trying to just make the 'checked' boxes stand out a bit more by giving them a coloured background. Here's what I've tried to no avail: input[type="checkbox"]:disabled { background: #46adf9; }

Just started with blot and planned to use google docs as my editor. I guess markdown doesn't work within Google Documents, altough GD understands some md out of the box (e.g. # headline) I played around and couldn't get most of the formatting and features to work. I would really like to stay in gd (even with only md for formatting) for convenience and not need any additional txt editor. Anything I am missing, any settings in blot or docs? Working well: formating based on headlines and line breaks Working semi: links get routed through Google Search (see below); current date based on the doc (but no editing for a future/past pub date possible) Not working: any other formatting (tested: bold, italic, color); tags

CSS friends, I've been playing around with adding a gradient for things like link underlining; it looks like this: a { color: {{text_color}}; text-decoration: none; background: linear-gradient(to left, #ad1981, #46adf9 100%); background-position: 0 100%; background-size: 100% 1px; background-repeat: repeat-x; } I'm trying to figure out how to achieve a similar effect as a 2px left hand border for blockquotes, but I'm misunderstanding something about how it works. Any insight much appreciated. My best guess so far looks like this: padding: 0 0 0 12px; opacity: 0.8; background: linear-gradient(to left, #ad1981, #46adf9 100%); background-position: left; background-size: 100% 2px; background-repeat: repeat-y;

Below is a screenshot of my Dashboard Posts page showing a phantom post (the first one). The post was previously scheduled, but I moved it to drafts to work on it more. It was never published and it isn't in dropbox as you can see on the left of the below screenshot.

Hi, I'm looking to move the overview of posts to a subpath (/photos) and have a custom page act as the landing page. I'm using a (minimal) fork of the portfolio theme, but I'm happy to change if that's necessary. I can't find any rewrite rules or anything of the sort, and while I can create a custom page to hide the native index (posts overview) page, I don't know how to then resurface it in under a custom path. Thanks!

I've included tags in my post's file name.

Do you happen to have the layouts.txt file from the demo video available to share? I’d like to get an idea of all the different formatting options available and figured that would be the perfect reference.
