jekyll-multisites's Introduction

jekyll-multisites

Jekyll Multisites allows granular control over sharing codebases, plugins, files & assets across multiple Jekyll builds.

Purpose

The purpose of jekyll-multisites is to demonstrate the capabilities of Jekyll as a tool for sharing assets across multiple builds. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, image assets, plugins & gems can be shared as the source files for a system of websites.

Usage

To spin up the example sites first download the git repository: $ git clone [email protected]:Designaroni/jekyll-multisites.git

Running the sites individually

To build & serve either site run one of the following commands from the repository

$ bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config_site_one.yml
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config_site_two.yml

Inspiration

Inspiration for this project came out of a need to share modular web components across a system of sites, Branding assets, shared call to action banners, modules of custom html, css & javscript & shared vendor assets.

jekyll-multisites's Issues

update jekyll multisites to use latest jekyll-static-assets plugin

The original Jekyll Static Assets plugin did not accommodate for globbing properly. Need to update Jekyll Multi Sites to use the latest version & develop a couple real world examples related to this plugin.

Loop through subdirectories

Hi @Designaroni !

I currently have a project which follows almost the same structure of yours. But each site has the _staticAssets folder, with its own assets, but the plugin can't loop through the subdirectories.

It's something like this:

- global/sharedAssets (ok!)

- _staticAssets (project/site specific)
  - images
    - logos
    - banners
    - etc...

the plugin can only read the _staticAssets folder (root),, but I don't want to drop all files there, without organizing them in subdirectories. How can I setup the plugin to loop through them and export properly accordingly to each site?

Thanks! And gz for the work! 👍
