List all pages of entries in a <select> element

Is there a way to include all pages in a <select> element, so users can choose a specific page rather than clicking "view older posts" over and over? Thanks for such a wonderful platform.

Archives for custom metadata

Does the template engine have a view built-in for archive pages for custom metadata, like it does for tags?

Multiple languages?

I have content available in more than one language. Is there a simple way I can let a visitor choose the language in which a post is displayed?

How do I edit the top menu on my site?

It used to be possible to edit the menu with all the links from the dashboard, but now i don't see that option anymore

On the Archive page is it possible to exclude posts with a specific tag?

I currently have this block in archives.html: <div> {{#allEntries}} <a href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a> <span class="small">{{date}}</span> <br /> <div class="spacer8"></div> {{/allEntries}} </div> Instead of allEntries is it possible to do all entries except entries that have tag x?

Key for determining if a post is on an index page, or displayed on its own?

On pages where multiple posts are displayed, the <h1> is the page name, e.g.: Archives, Home. Posts titled are rendered in <h2>. On a single post page, the post title is an <h1> tag and subheadings are <h2>, <h3>, etc as needed. All good so far. The issue arises when a post with subheadings is not displayed on its own page, e.g.: when shown on a page showing the ten most recent posts in full. There, the titles are rendered in <h2>, but then the subheadings are one level off. My thought was to write the headings within each post something like: {{{#singleentry}}}h2{{{/singleentry}}} {{{#multientries}}}h3{{{/multientries}}} But I am not sure what the appropriate key would be, if it exists. I had a look through the developer reference doc but didn't see something like this. Since something like this would be useful for things beyond just modifying heading levels, I feel like there must be something that will do the trick that I am simply not seeing. If there's a better way, I'm all ears!

How does site search work in Blot?

I started using the Mira template and I saw it had a search.html page and an archives.html page. I wanted to merge them, so I added a search field to the archives page, following all the same logic that's defined in the search page. But the search that I added to the archives page didn't actually work--the JSON data for the page doesn't contain the query parameter when I run the search from archives.html, even though the exact same code works on search.html. Does Blot have a special case for the search.html page of some sort?

Blog template navigation on mobile?

This is probably an obvious question, but is there a way on the Blog template for it show to the left (or right) on a desktop screen, but at the top on mobile? The default at the moment shows the navigation to the left and it completely squeezes out the main body.

Add animation

I'm trying to add a simple animation to page content when it loads, targeting the class main. This works all well and good but it disrupts the image zoom overlay (the images don't display in the lightbox). Is there any way to target this div but ignore the native zoom effect? I don't know much about the zoom effect stuff but wondering if there's a way. .main { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(10px); animation: fadeInMoveUp 0.3s ease-out forwards; } @keyframes fadeInMoveUp { to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } }

Display related posts?

If I am on a blog post page with tag x, y and z, is it possible to only show other items that have tags x y or z?

Remove Phantom (auto generated?) Links In Blue?

I do I remove the phantom links in blue showing on my links pageThere is no delete option

Template variables keep changing to default?

I noticed that if I change the template variables in the Templates/Portfolio view (either in the code directly or in the template preview/editor), those variables will change back to default at some point in the future. I didn't measure exactly how long does it take to go back to the default, but basically every time I go back to my website and check it, the variables are default. I can instantly see it cause the main variable I'm trying to change is the "Thumbnail size". Here's my website: https://lotafak.blot.im/ Please advise! Thank you

How to get a home page at '/' and then have all updates listed below it?

I'm pretty close to what I want at https://rapidresponsechoir.org, but the index.md file with: --- Link: / --- # Rapid Response Choir seems to stuck at a date in February and I'd like the most recent posts to be listed underneath. I'm using the Magazine template. Also, how do I get consistent top banner photo across all pages? Thanks! - PeterB

How to center an image in post?

Just what the subject says, I'm wondering how to center an image included in a markdown file. I know how to put them in the margins, change the size/scale, but wasn't sure if there was a simple way to do this on Blot.

Restart your subscription option?

I (regrettably!!) clicked to cancel my subscription while looking at other website options, but decided ultimately to stay on Blot. However, when I try to click 'restart my subscription', it doesn't load anything or go anywhere. Is this an issue with Blot itself or on my end?

Twitter auto-embed for x.com URLs?

It'll always be Twitter to me, but it'd be good if the Twitter auto-embed feature would also work with x.com links.
