Fancyindex

This is a pelican plugin that creates index files of directories based on a custom template.

Installation

1. Clone https://github.com/fleximus/pelican-fancyindex.git and move it into your pelican plugin folder.

2. Add these lines to your pelicanconf.py:

FANCYINDEX_INPUT_PATH = '/path/to/htdocs/' FANCYINDEX_OUTPUT_PATH = 'fancyindex' FANCYINDEX_SAVE_AS = 'index.html'

3. Do not forget to add fancyindex to your plugin list

PLUGINS = ['fancyindex']

4. Create a fancyindex.html template file in theme/templates

Variables

Variable	Description
fancyindex.root	relative path to FANCYINDEX_INPUT_PATH
file.type	file type (file / directory)
file.url	url to the file

Known bugs

• FANCYINDEX_OUTPUT_PATH will be created under the default output path. This might be undesired.
