+ [2014-11-02T20:16:28Z] b-jazz bret: thanks for the confirmation. i thought that might be the case and was going down the road of generators until i realized that github doesn't support them.
+ [2014-11-02T18:09:20Z] b-jazz i was thinking that a longer page would be better. too many chances to get lost in the trail of links that are clicked through.
+ [2014-11-02T18:00:38Z] b-jazz mmmm, skyline chili
+ [2014-11-02T17:52:34Z] b-jazz pontiki: excellent points. thanks. (what's the link to your recipes?)
+ [2014-11-02T17:33:05Z] b-jazz do i have to create all of these stub pages by hand? i can't use generators (github pages). is there something i'm missing?
+ [2014-11-02T17:32:26Z] b-jazz bret: say I have a yaml file with a list of all employees. when you visit example.com/employees/john_doe, it would redirect to a stub page for john doe.
+ [2014-11-02T17:31:21Z] b-jazz bret: i somehow skipped over collections and didn't know about them. this is something that i do want, but doesn't solve my problem fully.
+ [2014-11-02T03:54:14Z] b-jazz bret: i guess they'll be static pages, separate from the posts.
+ [2014-11-01T22:08:04Z] b-jazz CosmoHill: you mean create hundreds of files by hand/script? That is my backup plan. They will each have a unique name in their front-matter.
+ [2014-11-01T21:28:52Z] b-jazz the pages would just be small stub pages slightly customized for each item in the list. sort of an "under construction" type of thing.
+ [2014-11-01T21:27:45Z] b-jazz I want a list of a couple hundred items. I want each of those items to have their own page/url. Is it possible to do this without generators?
+ [2014-10-29T14:53:40Z] b-jazz Una: Look in the plugins part of the docs. There are some example generators at the bottom and one of them is for creating aliases to posts.
+ [2014-10-22T02:26:42Z] b-jazz yep, that's my next step. the current repo is cluttered with lots of garbage since it is my first start and i'm just learning.
+ [2014-10-22T02:25:39Z] b-jazz pontiki: i'll have to try to strip it down to the bare essentials and create a new repo. i won't be able to get to it tonight, but i think it will be a great idea to share it.
+ [2014-10-22T02:24:37Z] b-jazz i'm just writing a simple(?) generator that reads in some data and creates new pages. similar to the second Generator plug-in example on the jekyll docs
+ [2014-10-22T02:23:21Z] b-jazz jaybe: yep, i've got that.
+ [2014-10-22T02:17:17Z] b-jazz jaybe: the page that was generated had a "layout: foobar" front matter, and the foobar.html had a front matter of "layout: default" which has some includes. Does that answer your question?
+ [2014-10-22T02:04:04Z] b-jazz is there anything special about generated pages and markdown? I'm programmatically generating some pages and the Liquid stuff seems to be applied, but the markdown doesn't get converted.
+ [2014-10-19T04:11:03Z] b-jazz pontiki: I think I might be. Thanks for pointing that out. (I'm very new to jekyll.)
