I’m overwhelmed by the templating language. Can someone help me migrate my site?
I’m looking to migrate my plain HTML site to Zola, but I’m very new to the templating language, and the default setup described in the introduction to Zola was not clear on how to support URLs with the pattern /2025/07/07/title-of-article/
.
Additionally, the blog homepage is hosted at /posts/
while archives are in /2025/
. Articles are not inside /posts/
as the documentation on /blog/
had assumed.
Currently, my Zola branch builds, but everything is just shoved into static/
. I have no idea on how to get /posts/
to update on the site, especially as I start adding articles in Markdown in the content/
directory.
Also, /posts/
and /2025/07/
list the weekday it was posted on. Not sure how to generate that with the templating language.
