Push to sub-directory?

[jblanton]

I'm going to be using Jekyll to host two blogs on the same domain--one at "/" and one at "/subdir". Is there a way to tell Jekyll-s3 to push to the subdir? (I realize that I may be able to get around this by telling Jekyll to write the files for the second blog into /subdir, but I haven't really looked into that yet.)

At the moment, no.

Out of curiosity, why would you want to host two different Jekyll blogs on the same S3 bucket?

[jblanton]

Ah, OK, thanks for getting back to me.

To answer your question, I'll be running a blog at domain.com and a photoblog at domain.com/photos, each styled, etc., differently.

You'd want something like this?

s3_id: YOUR_AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID
s3_secret: YOUR_AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
s3_bucket: your.blog.bucket.com
s3_bucket_directory: /photos

There could be something under the hood where "s3_bucket_subdirectory" simply defaults to "/" if nil?.

[laurilehmijoki]

Not a bad idea.

So, @jblanton, maybe you could propose some code for how this should work? Either a high level description, a PR, or just some failing specs would be great.

I think as config options increase, we should also focus on solving #37. For example, right now we have different classes responsible for their own default values. Perhaps, we should have a Jekyll::S3::Configuration class which handles defaults.

Also, I'll +1 this. I could use this feature right about now.
