You are so right. I'll try to hit those up along with some @github/training-team members.

There are still a few more slide to rename.

@jordanmccullough I think I need some help here to filter out slides from appearing in the recommended links, if there's even a way to do that.

Did some hacking on this yesterday, and hit a blocker with some Jekyll weirdness. Might need to chat with an expert in Liquid and Jekyll to resolve.

Calling an awesome @cobyism for Jekyll help. @jordanmccullough can you recap for Coby what the barrier is here in a nutshell?

@jordanmccullough Happy to try and help 😀 —what kind of stuff did you run into, exactly?

from teach.github.com.

@cobyism, thank for offering to help.

For the teach.github.com "presentations" slide deck HTML files, we've put a front matter of categories: ['presentations']. With the /presentations/index.md using the Jekyll include categorycontents, we're seeing all _posts included in the output, not just the Markdown files with the category presentations front matter.

Clearly I'm totally overlooking something here, but any insight would be appreciated.

@jordanmccullough Ok, I’m pretty sure I know why you’re seeing this.

The way Jekyll works is that categories are derived from the directory structure above the _posts directory. For example, a post located at /work/code/_posts/2008-12-24-closures.textile would have this field automatically set to ['work', 'code'] (without setting it in the YAML front-matter. They can also be specified in the front-matter, but the inheritance from the directory structure is likely what is causing your problem here.

Basically, because you have a _posts directory underneath a /presentations directory, this means any markdown file in that /presentations/_posts folder will inherit a categories value of ['presentations'] whether you specify it in the YAML front-matter or not.

There’s a couple of ways you could get around this:

1. Alter the directory structure so the inherited category and the YAML-specified category are not the same.
2. Alter the YAML-specified category to be different from the directory-inherited category name.
3. Add a secondary, arbitrary category name to the YAML front-matter for posts you want to show up, and make that the one you specify in the {% assign selectedcategory = ... %} line of index.md.

I’d probably recommend option 2, with changing the YAML-specified category to maybe be just ['presentation'] (no 's', singular) since that’s what that specific file represents so it makes a little bit of sense—or possibly option 3. Option 1 would suck because it would necessarily affect the URL structure, and I’m guessing that’s not ideal.

I hope that helps you troubleshoot? Let me know if there’s anything I can do (or clarify further) to help get things working as you want them to and I can have a dig 😄

Link to #66 as a related issue.

@brntbeer Thanks for associating these two issues. Looking into these and should have word on them tomorrow (03/13/13).

Almost done with a major refactor. All markdown files will have the title embedded, no Front Matter "title" attribute requirement, etc. The HydeSlides control panel will now show like so...

from teach.github.com.

This is so awesome. happy to see progress updates!

from teach.github.com.

Woah, nice!

from teach.github.com.

I sure do love the new control panel and titles to all the slides! This came in via #91

However, they still show up on http://teach.github.com/presentations/ when they shouldn't (category assignment to cause them not to show?). I'm going to try and hack on that right now.

Slipped from my schedule yesterday, but trying to tackle this following the title fixes. @cobyism provided some insight and tips, and I'm sure if I just apply the suggested changes, things will clear up.

from teach.github.com.

@cobyism I tried your option 2, but it didn't seem to work. See http://teach.github.com/presentations/ for pages still showing up that have had their category explicitly assigned to be something other than presentations. As a fall back, I think I'll try shifting the "loop" to use another category and then just assigning the pages I want to show up to use that "special" category. That would be more DRY as well.

@matthewmccullough Bummer, it may be the case that it’s impossible to override the inherited categories, and that instead any YAML-specified categories are merely added to the existing set generated from the directory structure.

Closing this down following the migration effort and the data restructuring of all combined training.github.com/teach.github.com content.
