[SOLVED partially] Tell Zola to ignore specific directory

Support
1

I wanna make setup like this:
on local pc I store and edit files, then changes synchronized to remote server with syncthing, where zola should take up changes and rebuild site.
But it throws error:

23:46:07 vrein@tokk:~/data/remote/sites/test1| zola serve
Building site...    
Error: Couldn't find front matter in `/home/vrein/data/remote/sites/test1/content/.stversions/BuyList.md`. Did you forget to add `+++`?

So ignoring specific folder would did the trick, but I could not find how to do this.
I tried use ignored_content = ["*stversions"], or glob like "\.*", but seems this suit only for file assets.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

There is https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/682 which is similar.

I’ll take a PR for it and haven’t started working on it myself (or planning to in the immediate future).

Thank you!
I have no experience with rust programming so I rather use linux features like hardlinks.
Thank for Zola :slightly_smiling_face:

how do you do ignoring folder? I came to this issue as well. I can’t use ignored_content

I think starting from this merge Allow ignored_content to support markdown files by pkova · Pull Request #759 · getzola/zola · GitHub
you should be able to ignore the file using ignored_content,
but only with glob like ["path/to/ignore/*.md"] (I think that should work :slight_smile: )

Here is tests provided with the commit, Allow ignored_content to support markdown files by pkova · Pull Request #759 · getzola/zola · GitHub
so you could spy on how it intended to work

It’s documented on https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/configuration/ but I can’t link to a specific line in the code. search for ignored and you will find it

Thank you, yeah I miss the / part in the first place. It already worked.
