Since version 7.7 Nikola renders author pages for sites with more than one author. | ||
Let me talk a little about this. | ||
|
||
The first Nikola site I set up was for a group of friend wanting to publish tech | ||
stuff online (for example, how to build a 3D printer with recycled elements). | ||
I noticed that author names in posts weren't linked to any page. And because this is | ||
a very common feature in blogging systems, I implemented it. | ||
|
||
The feature can be enabled in `conf.py` with: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
ENABLE_AUTHOR_PAGES = True | ||
As with tags, you can configure the pages path and if you want to list links to the posts | ||
or the posts themselves: | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
AUTHOR_PATH = "reporters" | ||
AUTHOR_PAGES_ARE_INDEXES = False | ||
Additionaly, this is not required, you can add a little bio to each (or some) authors | ||
and hide others (this is, don't generate pages for them): | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: python | ||
AUTHOR_PAGES_DESCRIPTIONS = { | ||
DEFAULT_LANG: { | ||
"Juanjo Conti": "Python coder and writer.", | ||
"Roberto Alsina": "Nikola father." | ||
}, | ||
} | ||
HIDDEN_AUTHORS = ['Guest'] | ||
If you want to link to these pages in your own theme, you can use something like this | ||
(Mako example): | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: mako | ||
% if author_pages_generated: | ||
<a href="${_link('author', post.author())}">${post.author()}</a> | ||
% else: | ||
${post.author()} | ||
% endif | ||
You can see the feature in action in `Nikola blog <https://getnikola.com/blog/>`_: `author page example <https://getnikola.com/authors/roberto-alsina.html>`_. | ||
|
||
Hope you enjoy it! |
