feature request: allow output extension to be changed from .html

[codemonkeynorth]

It would be useful to be able to change the output extension from .html, in my case to .php

I realise it's an edge case but I'm using jigsaw to create a temporary static drop-in "holding site" theme for wordpress whilst the main site is being worked on separately

as such being able to generate the files as eg index.php and page-home.php would be helpful

thanks
J.

(just as a note... for now i've created an index.php that does a require('index.html')).. since the index.php will be copied over as-is, this works fine for the build)

If you set a permalink with a .php extension does that work? Something like this:

index.blade.php

---
permalink: index.php
---
{{-- Blade template contents --}}

@bakerkretzmar - it does indeed, thank you very much!!

the question now is whether anyone would actually want to output every file with a specific extension as a global build option. possibly yes I guess.

I'll leave this open for now, but again for my case where I've only got a couple of pages your solution is perfect.

@codemonkeynorth no problem! I'm going to close this for now but that is an interesting idea. I doubt anyone would need it for their entire site, but I can see it possibly being useful for an entire collection. We could explore making the path config option support file extensions, so that they could be configured/overridden there, or adding an extension option or something.
