[Pelican] Create URL Based on File Path
October 17, 2018
Pelican static site generator - Create URL of page or article based on the full path relative to the content source directory.
Problem
for example, the following is the path of a page:
content/pages/intro.rst
The URL of the page will be:
/intro/
The following is the path of a article:
content/articles/category/myproduct.rst
The URL of the article will be:
/category/myproduct/
Solution
We will create a custom metadata field called urlpath. The value of urlpath is extracted from article/page's path relative to the content source directory. Then the value of urlpath will be used to determine the URL of the article/page. You do not need to modify the file content of articles/pages.
The solution is to set PATH_METADATA, PAGE_URL, PAGE_SAVE_AS, ARTICLE_URL, ARTICLE_SAVE_AS in pelicanconf.py as follows:
PATH_METADATA = '(articles|pages)/(?P<urlpath>[-a-zA-Z0-9/]*)\.rst'
ARTICLE_URL = '{urlpath}/'
ARTICLE_SAVE_AS = '{urlpath}/index.html'
PAGE_URL = '{urlpath}/'
PAGE_SAVE_AS = '{urlpath}/index.html'
Tested on: Ubuntu Linux 18.04, Python 2.7.15rc1, Pelican 3.7.1.
