See this link for a copy of this post with more links (because Discourse only lets new users have 1 or 2 links, and I want to use links to provide more details)
Pages like content/2022-07-21_topic/index.md
or content/2022-07-21_topic.md
have the date removed, so zola will choose the slug: topic
.
For some blogs, the date is a key part of the page title, and this behavior leads to entries with the same slug.
I would like to have a config option to disable this behavior. Others have asked for this previously.
With this option, pages like content/2022-07-21_topic/index.md
or content/2022-07-21_topic.md
would keep their date, so zola would choose the slug: 2022-07-21-topic
.
The main code to change for this is components/library/src/content/page.rs.
The configuration (components/config/src/config/mod.rs) will also need changes to pass in the option.
- Questions: What should the config option be called?
- slug_keep_dates (default false)
- slug_strip_dates (default true)
Finally, the user documentation needs to be updated with this change.
I intend to work on this, and send a pull request. Any feedback on this plan is welcome!
