Questions
Remove "Links to this post"?
At the bottom of the default template, on some pages there is a "Links to this post" block. How does one remove this?
Can I reset my template?
If I fork a template and I mess it up, can I easily switch back to the default template?
Solution to Light / Dark Mode for the Blog Template
Is there an existing solution to adding a toggle switch or using device settings for light / dark mode? I'm using the Blog template. Thank you.
Modal Window for video and audio?
Is there a baked in modal window I can access for video and audio presentation? Kinda like how images are presented.
Is there a size limit for Blot's git repos?
Just wondering if there's a maximum total size or a maximum filesize. Now that Blot supports wikilinking I'm thinking about making my site quite a bit bigger...
Different themes for different devices.
Is it possible to use portfolio theme on web and magazine theme for mobile in parallel? If so, how?
{{#unless page}} not working?
Hi, I am trying to render some elements in an entry.html template only if it is a post but not a page. To do so, I have: {{#unless page}} <div id="TOC"> {{> toc}} </div> {{/unless}} so that I can only load a table of contents on appropriate pages. However, this seems to not work. On all views, whether page or post, this seems to still load the toc. What is happening? What might I be doing wrong?
Recover links to blog and archive pages?
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.
Expired certificate for previews
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.
Self-hosted version of Blot?
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?
No such remote 'origin'
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?
Hiding the date when creating a new home page with the Magazine theme
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?
Hide tags
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?
On the Archive page is it possible to exclude posts with a specific tag?
I currently have this block in archives.html: {{#allEntries}} {{title}} {{date}} {{/allEntries}} Instead of allEntries is it possible to do all entries except entries that have tag x?
Images not syncing from iCloud
Hi, I've found I have to resync my site when I add an image to a post (I'm using iCloud). The text and the the image caption seem to sync automatically, but the image itself needs to be downloaded. Is this a problem other people are experiencing?
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
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.
Trouble with deleted files? (2)
Hi, I need help to delete a page that still appeared after I deleted the file (I have similar problem before but already resolved it by changing the drive folder). This page (link) was a menu page that I replace with a new one but then appeared in archive. Can you please look into this? Thank you.
