Have blog page outside of index.html completely

[sylhare]

So different from #104
This use case would be to use the home.html layout or the include blog.html to paginate the blog pages outside of the index.html.

It seems to be a paginate configuration issue.

Got it! Turns out the paginator doesn't work in any file other than index.html, so I created another index.html file at /blog/index.html, where I included the pagination logic. Now when I go to /blog, it displays the paginated posts, and the homepage remains static.

Thanks so much for your help and for that link, it got me on the right path! And thanks again for the fantastic theme.

Ok I found the issue.
What you need to do, if you want to have your blog page outside of index.html completely.

blog                               # New directory
└── index.html         # Your new blog page

In your this blog/index.html you need to add this which will render the blog page:

---
layout: home
title: Blog
permalink: /blog/
---

And then update the paginator with:

# PAGINATION
paginate: 5
paginate_path: "/blog/page:num"

By doing so the blog page won't be rendered in the home page, and this one will be empty. You can customize the theme with blog.html which is the one actually using the paginator feature.

Thanks @sylvietht I have modified the answer, now I don't get the error with No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen so I guess we're good for this one 😄

Great! Thanks, yours looks like a good solution too (especially if one doesn't want to mess with the site navigation as you have it set up).
