2023-12-24Update SEO, grab meta descriptions from .descmjfernez
Keyword tags are outdated so those have been removed. Descriptions are more important that SEO. The description of the parent directory is used
2022-03-10Fixes RSS issues. Changes time tracking to gitmjfernez
This commit primarily changes the code base to base the file last modified time on the output of "git log". This adds dateutil and git itself as a dependency, but those are pretty common... This also fixes some minor issues including: - missing / between mjfer.net and the URI - README up to date with latest changes - linting
2022-02-25Merge server changes from branch mastermjfernez
2022-02-20Remove caching for raw file typesmjfernez
2022-02-03Fix 500 error for missing filesmjfernez
Instead, entering an invalid path will yield a 404 page as expected. The error was introduced by adding the file_last_modified check before confirming in the file exists in the render_file function
2021-12-22Removed "/site" appendage. CSS fixesmjfernez
This commit removes the "/site" appended to every directory and solved the problem of redirecting links correctly by setting 'parent_dir' in the main view context to point to '/' by default. This also changes how titles appear to conform to my sensibilities.
2021-11-01Optimize mobile CSS. Add last update time defaultmjfernez
This commit optimizes the mobile and web css to be responsive on zoom (in supported browsers) and responsive on mobile screens. This is a minimal optimization and lot can be done to improve it, particularly for wider screen devices like tablets This also adds the last update time to all views (except home). Function logic was moved to view functions to support this and rss_generator was changed to depend on it
2021-10-14Adds RSS auto-generation for files in 'site'mjfernez
This commit adds rss_generator.py which contains the main logic for indexing the site directory and generating a feed on startup. It serves as a sort of ad-hoc database which is accessed when /feed.xml is requested. Also corrects various typos, README nonsense, and expands the config options for RSS. Instances of './templates/site' have been replaced with the general BASE_DIR variable in the siteconfig.
2021-10-10Caching support. Separate views.py in 2 filesmjfernez
This commit adds the Flask-Caching module to the software stack and enables the caching of views in a wide variety of ways, but implemented here to be simple to understand to someone new to the concept of caching (aka me). Various documentation and formatting was applied to all files. views.py internal functions (mostly related to filesystem operations of the server). have been moved into view_functions.py
2021-08-25Clarify siteconfigmjfernez
This clarifies what the MAIN_SITE_DIRS option means since one might read it to mean you can put your directories anywhere. Not so, you can only pick which dirs are displayed with that option. Also recommends to not use the secret key unless needed (for what reason, I don't know).
2021-06-17.description is now rendered as htmlmjfernez
.description was previously read as a text file, but this is cumbersome and limits the user. This allows the user to embed html in their .description files by adding the "cur_path" variable to context. 'index.html' has been updated to render the template located in cur_path if a description file exists
2021-06-16Changed / to /site, added views.py, README amendedmjfernez
Previously this program served files in the 'templates/site' dir on '/', but this caused problems when accessing raw files using '/raw/' which is useful for embedding or quickly downloading content. It's also an inconvenience to the user, since they have to add a word rather than double-clicking an replacing it. The main server file and the base and index templates have been changed to reflect this. The codebase has been reorganized to separate views from the main flask app. Blueprints were avoided since only one blueprint would be needed so thus unnecessary. README and docstrings were also expanded for clarity and edited for errors. Some comments
