Make redirects/aliases use templates

Feature requests

I’d like to add a style to my redirects/aliases because I’m using a dark theme and my screen goes bright white for a split second whenever I open a redirect link. I was hoping it would work to add a file to my-theme/templates/alias.html or my-theme/templates/internal/alias.html sorta like how the 404.html replacement works, but no luck. It seems alias.html is different from the other built-in templates, is there a reason why?

Edit: quick code mockup that does what I’m looking for: Make alias templatable · jaxter184/zola@217f56b · GitHub

I successfully added styles/changed the content of the alias template. It’s in my theme’s templates/internal/alias.html.

One caveat is that you can’t access the config values, but other than that, it works.

Does nothing change at all when you change the contents of that template?

Oh wow, I’m not sure what I was doing wrong before, but I tried again and it worked fine. Maybe I had a typo or something. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for your reply. Is there a way to mark the thread as being resolved?
