This repository is a fork with the following features added:

• real preview on the side (refreshed automatically if you activate live-reload)
• choice of other Markdown editors (TUI, TinyMDE, basic textarea or original SimpleMDE) to benefit from spell checkers like LangageTool that do not work with SimpleMDE
• header_buttons settings to add custom URLs as buttons/menus in the header to have all your ressources to edit webpages at your fingertips
• force_show_drafts settings to force drafts when using multiple _config.yml or --drafts command line
• new_meta_defaults settings to add automatically predefined meta on new drafts (and avoid forgetting to set some of it)
• sort static files index by most recent files
• save in localStorage the last edited version to be able to restore it if you close by mistake the editor, or if the tab crashes for an unknown reason
• sort collections folders according to last modified date (reverse)
• added administration panel to view logs, shutdown serve, process site, etc. This allow handy headless operations.
• added sidebar entries to view external contents in frames (if allowed by the corresponding website)

All these features have been submitted as PR, I hope jekyll-admin will get some of it, or at least some inspiration from these features. This fork is not intended to be globally maintained and developped (aside those little features).

---

A Jekyll plugin that provides users with a traditional CMS-style graphical interface to author content and administer Jekyll sites. The project is divided into two parts. A Ruby-based HTTP API that handles Jekyll and filesystem operations, and a JavaScript-based front end, built on that API.

Installation

Refer to the installing plugins section of Jekyll's documentation and install the jekyll-admin plugin as you would any other plugin. Here's the short version:

1. Add the following to your site's Gemfile:

   gem 'jekyll-admin', group: :jekyll_plugins

2. Run bundle install

Usage

1. Start Jekyll as you would normally (bundle exec jekyll serve)
2. Navigate to http://localhost:4000/admin to access the administrative interface

Options

Jekyll Admin related options can be specified in _config.yml under a key called jekyll_admin.

jekyll_admin:
  hidden_links:
    - posts
    - pages
    - staticfiles
    - datafiles
    - configuration
  homepage: "pages"

Customizing collection label in Sidebar

The plugin allows you to customize the name of a collection that is displayed in the sidebar by defining it in the collection's metadata in the config file. For example, if your source's posts are actually news-items on the deployed site, then it can be distracting to see the label Posts in the admin's sidebar. This situation can be resolved with the following configuration:

collections:
  posts:
    output: true
    sidebar_label: News
