Permalink support?

[pranphy]

I am migrating from another static site generator and most of my .md files are named YYYY-mm-dd-page-slug.md. Something like

permalink: %year/%m/%slug

in global config would result the processed file to be generated like

YYYY
└── mm
    └── page-slug
        └── index.html   

Is something like this possible in Franklin? I am basically trying to avoid having to rename my files YYYY-mm-dd-page-slug.md to YYYY/mm/page-slug.md.

Hello @pranphy, no this is not directly supported by Franklin. I think the easiest here would be for you to write a script that renames your files.

You can set a slug per page but not with a pattern. You could call a function that does it automatically but this is not well supported in the current version of Franklin and would likely lead to a headache more than a working solution. The next version allows you to do this but that's not helpful to you right now.

Hope the workaround is not too cumbersome for you!
