Zola 12 current_path Issue

Problem with current_path

I’m comparing output from zola 11 verses version 12.

Using the following template snippet:

    <!-- Taxonomy SEO -->

    <!-- critical -->
	{% if term -%}
		{% set tparent = current_path | split(pat="/") | first | capitalize -%}
		{% set tname = term.name | capitalize -%}
		{% if tparent=="English" -%}
			<title>English {{ tname }} Lessons</title>	
		{% elif tparent=="Downloads" -%}
			<title>English {{ tname }} {{tparent}}</title>			
		{% else -%}
			<title>Adept English {{ tname }} - {{tparent}}</title>		
		{% endif -%}
	{% else -%}
		<title>{{ config.title}}</title>
	{% endif -%}

We customised the title of each page based on it’s path. We do this for taxonomies to get the parent of this term.

Zola 11 output…

      <!-- Taxonomy SEO -->

    <!-- critical -->
	<title>Adept English Andrew - Authors</title>

Zola 12 output…

      <!-- Taxonomy SEO -->

    <!-- critical -->
	<title>Adept English Andrew - </title>

It appears the {{tparent}} variable is now empty.

We use split path a lot, mostly for breadcrumbs lists throughout the site.

Zola 11 output…

        <nav class="breadcrumb" aria-label="breadcrumbs">
            <ul>
                <li><a class="is-capitalized" href="https://adeptenglish.com">🏠 Home</a></li>
                
                <li><a class="is-capitalized" href="https://adeptenglish.com/authors">authors</a></li>
                <li class="is-active"><a class="is-capitalized" href="#">Andrew</a></li>
            </ul>
        </nav>

Zola 12 output

        <nav class="breadcrumb" aria-label="breadcrumbs">
            <ul>
                <li><a class="is-capitalized" href="https://adeptenglish.com">🏠 Home</a></li>
                
                <li><a class="is-capitalized" href="https://adeptenglish.com/"></a></li>
                <li class="is-active"><a class="is-capitalized" href="#">Andrew</a></li>
            </ul>
        </nav>

Note the missing authors

Thoughts…

I’m pretty sure this is because the split path | first no longer works as current_path now has an additional / slash.

If the new current_path is necessary, could you suggest a way of splitting the path and getting the same output as we used to using tera split path?

You can probably do something {% set tparent = current_path | trim_start_matches(pat="/") | split(pat="/") | first | capitalize -%} or get the second object via index but that takes more than a line

Oh OK, I’ll try that workaround. When you say using the index, do you mean

tparent[1]

Not sure if that is the correct syntax?

Also is tera 0 indexed?

Thanks

yep that’s what I meant. Tera is 0 indexed

This worked perfectly, and it keeps backward compatibility. So thank you for this suggestion.
