Question: nav_list fixed number?

[maddovr]

So I made a page where I want to list my projects and I wanted to show it on the novelist in the top-right corner, however it doesn't seem to work unless I replace the about link. Am I doing something wrong(quite possible, since I've a high fever)? How can I go about it the right way?

maybe you should set the nav configs in _config.yml like this:

nav_lists:
  - titles:
      en: About
      zh: 关于
      zh-Hans: 关于
      zh-Hant: 關於
    url: /about.html
  - title: Projects
    url: /projects.html

This add a "Projects" link on the navigator, and url is "/projects.html"

While speaking about this(I'm still recovering from measles, so my eyesight is kinda garbage right now, that's why I still haven't worked on staticman yet), I think we can safely remove "Home" from nav_list as it's redundant with the Title(which is also a "Home" link). Is there an easy way to go about this?

doesn't matter. take care of yourself.

This is a good question. now the navigation bar config is not very flexible, and also footers and license. so I am working on a big upgrade.

[maddovr]

Right, an option to disable the license would be great(even a front matter option, so as to leave the user with the choice of where and when to use it).

[maddovr]

Another thing: I think the RSS link should stay in the footer as a "social" button. It is not a really widespread feature, surely not one I would put on the header anyway. Waiting hopefully for your big upgrade!

[kitian616]

in the next version, RSS will be moved in the footer, and also the mail info will become a "social" button

[maddovr]

That would be great. Also IMHO having a front matter option license: true/false would be great as not all posts need to have a license.

Finally I push the code and you can visit https://tianqi.name/jekyll-TeXt-theme for the demo.

Made a lot of changes, it really cost me some time, time to write document :-)

[maddovr]

Some great changes that would break everything and anything, but it's a necessary evil 👍
Good job on that. Before a release, would it be possible to add an option to show the comment count just like we show page views?

[kitian616]

More changes will be coming. I am migrating TeXt from version 1 to version 2. There is a lot document work, and a new home page (a new layout) for demo site.

TeXt 2 is not just a theme for blog, it would be more customized (so there would be more layouts).

Comment count is possible. that means I have to add this function for every supported comment systems in TeXt, this would take a while.
