It isn't possible to auto-generate pages / create virtual pages. about templer

[skx]

Biggest blocker here is that the plugins do not have access to the Templer::Site object. They have access to the Templer::Global and the Templer::Site::Page.

Two options here:

• Store the site object in the global config (quick-fix).
• Pass the site to the plugin(s) too.

Otherwise adding the pages should be simple if they can be mock-objects:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  use warnings;

  my @pages = qw! one two three!;
  my $updated = 0;

  foreach my $page ( @pages )
  {
      print "Page: $page\n";
      push( @pages, qw! four five six seven ! ) unless( $updated) ;
      $updated += 1;
  }

This sample demonstrates how I expect the main loop of Templer::Site could be enhanced - just at the foot of each iteration look for the addition of a new hash-ref via Templer::Site::addPage, or similar.

I've not forgotten about this, and the changes to #11 mean that now we do pass round a Templer::Site object.

This means we should be able to do everything we need.

This has been resolved for some time now, but I'll leave it open until #31 is resolved.

That will give us the ability to create a plugin with two methods:

• init
  • Save away the Templer::Site object.
• cleanup
  • Use the site-object we saved, to generate extra/random output pages.

As it happens this is used exactly to generate my site-map file for https://steve.fi/.
