Org Capture Setup
Generate the post heading and EXPORT_FILE_NAME automatically instead of typing them for every new entry.
Capture template§
Define a template function and register it with org-capture-templates:
(with-eval-after-load 'org-capture
(defun my/ox-zola-capture-template ()
"Return an `org-capture' template for a new Zola post."
(let* ((title (read-from-minibuffer "Post Title: "))
(fname (org-hugo-slug title)))
(mapconcat #'identity
`(,(concat "* TODO " title)
":PROPERTIES:"
,(concat ":EXPORT_FILE_NAME: " fname)
":END:"
"%?\n")
"\n")))
(add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
'("z" "Zola post" entry
(file+olp "all-posts.org" "Blog Ideas")
(function my/ox-zola-capture-template))))org-hugo-slug is inherited from the exporter dependency and turns the title into the post slug.
Page bundles§
For a Zola page bundle, export index.md inside a named directory:
(defun my/ox-zola-bundle-capture-template ()
"Return an `org-capture' template for a new Zola page bundle."
(let* ((title (read-from-minibuffer "Post Title: "))
(fname (org-hugo-slug title)))
(mapconcat #'identity
`(,(concat "* TODO " title)
":PROPERTIES:"
,(concat ":EXPORT_ZOLA_BUNDLE: " fname)
":EXPORT_FILE_NAME: index"
":END:"
"%?\n")
"\n")))Images and other assets can then live beside the exported index.md.
Dates§
If you log DONE timestamps, switch the new post to DONE and the CLOSED property supplies the date.
If you do not use org-log-done, insert an explicit date in the template:
(let* ((date (format-time-string (org-time-stamp-format :long :inactive)
(org-current-time)))
(title (read-from-minibuffer "Post Title: "))
(fname (org-hugo-slug title)))
(mapconcat #'identity
`(,(concat "* TODO " title)
":PROPERTIES:"
,(concat ":EXPORT_FILE_NAME: " fname)
,(concat ":EXPORT_DATE: " date)
":END:"
"%?\n")
"\n"))
