liquid

In ruby I can do n.times do, is it possible to do this in Liquid markup? My current loop is: for video in site.posts my goal is to run this loop 2 times. There are currently 4 objects that will be called through the loop but I want 8. I hope this is clear! Justin Niessner You should be able to use a for loop with a range ( n is the number of iterations): {% for num in (1..n) %} In some instances of Shopify Liquid, it may also work to use {% for num in (1...n) %} If like me you want to have a dynamic number that is not based upon a collection length or in-build var you can use includes and

I'm using Jekyll on GitHub pages, and I want to have hierarchical categories like this: animals -> mammals -> cats -> _posts -> housecat.md, tiger.md animals -> mammals -> dogs -> _posts -> poodle.md, doberman.md animals -> reptiles -> lizards -> _posts -> iguana.md, chameleon.md I'd like users to be able to visit /animals and see a listing of every post from every category. But if they go to /animals/mammals , they'd only see mammals. If they go to /animals/mammals/cats , then they only see cats. I know I can do this manually by putting an index.html file in every single directory and then

I'm constructing an "Integration URL" in Desk.com, which uses the Shopify Liquid Template filter syntax. This URL needs to contain a "start date" and an "end date" for a query where the start date is 7 days ago and the end date is right now. To achieve this I think I need to subtract 7 days (604800 in Epoch time) from the 'now' object and then apply my formatting but I can't figure out valid syntax for that. For the current time, this syntax is valid and working: {{'now' | date: "%b %d, %Y %I:%M %p -0500" | uri_encode | replace:"+","%20"}} For 7 days ago, here's the best I could come up with

I'm working on a Jekyll tag plugin for my Octopress site to help me make a 'note' element. I just want to be able to highlight a piece of information on my blog as a side note, like this. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get the contents of this tag to be processed (i.e. Markdown or Textile). The above image is only achieved is I actually make my links with html code. Here is how it ends up turning out when I use markdown in the contents. In my post, I'm writing the contents of this like so. {% note %} This is the third post in my Start to Finish series. Last time I talked about [Git]

I would like to have a set of links <li> <h2>Random Articles</h2> <ul> <li><a href="#">Old article 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Old article 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Old article 1</a></li> </ul> </li> But I want to generate the links from a random selection of my posts. I'm using jekyll and liquid to generate the site. I must use built in parts of jekyll as I'm hosting on github. I'm not really sure where to start on this. Google searches on the topic are fruitless. I had a similar desire and got down to defining a custom Liquid tag (see http://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/Plugins ) which

I'm trying to learn how to use Jekyll along with Bootstrap; while studying them, I decided that I'd like to have an image carousel on my homepage. Since I'm really lazy I don't want to hard-code the paths needed to display every image inside the layout, and I wouldn't either prefer to use an array to store the list of images. I was wondering if there's any tag that could ask Jekyll to do these two steps: Look inside a specific directory For each file you found in that directory, repeat a block of code Basically what I'd like to write is something that vaguely resemble this piece of (imaginary)

I wonder if someone managed to enable the Liquid templating engine syntax highlighting in WebStorm IDE , I work a lot on Shopify stores and really like using Webstorm for that purpose. Did anyone managed to get this working? I found some resources regarding this issue on JetBrain's forum though it didn't quite got me anywhere, there is one dude who suggested using ' tmBundle ' and that might work if you do some dark magic. The thread is: RUBY-7210 and the official plugin request: JetBrain's plugins: Liquid Templating language request Ilia luk I've found out that Twig have a very similar syntax

I have managed to order all the data alphabetically but what I can't do is group it by first letter and also display the first letter like below: A apple arrow B band blur and so on... Here is my code for displaying the ordered data. --- layout: default --- {% capture thelistings %} {% for listing in site.data.terminology %} <li>{{ listing.term }}: {{ listing.definition }}</li> {% endfor %} {% endcapture %} {% assign allsortedlistings = thelistings | split:" " | sort %} <ul> {% for allterms in allsortedlistings %} {{ allterms }} {% endfor %} </ul> This outputs: again: now it is here aunt:

Edit: I've created a repository here that tests jibe's answer below. I just end up getting a blank page when I visit /animals , so any help is appreciated! This is a follow-up to this question: Hierarchical Categories in GitHub Pages In that question, I found out how to list the posts of a particular hierarchical category. Now I'm trying to figure out how to list the subcategories of a particular hierarchical category. I'm using Jekyll on GitHub pages, and I want to have hierarchical categories like this: animals -> mammals -> cats -> _posts -> housecat.md, tiger.md animals -> mammals -> dogs
