This plugin allows you to create Nesta articles with an numeric filename (probably based on date and serial) but serve the page with an SEO-friendly slug, like so http://wynnnetherland.com/linked/2011092203/making-blogazine-with-nesta. The slug is optional. As long as the numeric filename path is included, Nesta will redirect to add the current slug.
Sluggable posts provide a few benefits:
- You can change the slug if your headline changes and Nesta will automatically find the new article.
- You don't have to know your headline and slug when you create your file.
- Mangled, truncated URLs can still find the way to the latest version of your page.
To install add the plugin to your Nesta Gemfile
gem "nesta-plugin-sluggable"
Slugs can be set in the page metadata:
date: 2011-09-24
slug: this-is-my-first-sluggable-post
# This is the headline
Alternatively, if not set, Sluggable will dasherize the heading to create the slug.
In order to avoid a 301 redirect for all sluggable page links on your site, use the permalink method in your templates instead of abspath.
- Nesta CLI option to create posts
- Fork the project.
- Make your feature addition or bug fix.
- Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
- Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
