Template access and customization; metadata variables#128

  • Allow access to the HTML templates, including the robots.txt and rss/xml—this could be opt-in—for those that want to further customize their layouts.

  • Further to the above, allow the creation of variables based on metadata, so they can be inserted into the posts/templates. A couple of examples:

    • the meta_description can be called by a “summary” variable, and placed into the post template, so the summary can be shown for any posts that have one
    • the post title can be called by a “title” variable, and placed into a “reply by email” element in the post and/or RSS feed using ?subject=”{​{​ .title }}”

yeah this would be great. I find the current themes to be pretty lacking but there’s not much info on what can be changed to make edits myself.

You can now edit the robots.txt in Settings > Advanced settings

You can also now reference front-matter in all blog content using these attributes:

{​{​ blog_title }}
{​{​ blog_description }} 
{​{​ blog_link }}
{​{​ blog_created_date }}
{​{​ blog_last_modified }} ago

{​{​ post_title }}
{​{​ post_description }}
{​{​ post_link }}
{​{​ post_published_date }}
{​{​ post_last_modified }} ago
