"vary-on" feature about wok HOT 9 CLOSED

I am not sure that "vary-on" is the best name for this thing. Any other ideas?

from wok.

This would in effect provide pseudo filtering correct?

from wok.

I think another way to phrase it would be 'filter-by'.

It would only be single tag filtering? I don' think that is such a bad idea, the difficult thing is if you want to provide and combination of tags to filter by, I think the permutations for that could get rather large. Even though the code might be pretty fun to write.

Would an example URL structure look like this:

/blog/category/sports or /blog/category/sports+computers ?

from wok.

The result would look something like filtering, yes, but from the stand point of the file being edited, it is more like a map() than a filter(). I think 'filter-by' makes me think of somehow filtering a list, instead of working my way through it.

Some clarification on this. Lets say I want to filter by tags (which is probably the most obvious thing this system could do). I would make this content item

title: Filter by Tag
vary-on: site.tags
type: varytags
url: /filter/tags/{vary-item}.html
---

And the template varytags.html

{% extend base.html %}
<h1>All pages with tag {{ vary-item }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for subpage in site.tags[vary-item] %}
    <li><a href="{{ subpage.url }}">{{ subpage.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</li>

This would generate one file per tag. So if you have tags linux, wok, hamper, then the pages /filter/tags/linux.html, /filter/tags/wok.html, /filter/tags/hamper.html would be generated, and each one would have a list of all pages with that tag.

Moving this to milestone 1.0

See 461f553 for an initial implementation.

Closing because it was implemented over 2 years ago. If it's broken, someone will file a new issue :)
