Logs for #nikola for 2019-01-13

02:25:57 <randanium> hi just wondering about my question about the getnikola main webpage
02:26:06 <randanium> was that written in ReStructuredText or HTML?
02:29:10 <randanium> also i get this error when i try to 'nikola build' on my cloned version of the nikola website
02:29:12 <randanium> .  render_listings:output\listings\conf.py.html TaskError - taskid:render_listings:output\listings\conf.py.html PythonAction Error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "c:\users\randl\anaconda3\envs\nikola\lib\site-packages\doit\action.py", line 424, in execute     returned_value = self.py_callable(*self.args, **kwargs)   File "c:\users\randl\anaconda3\envs\nikola\lib\site-packages\nikola\plugins\task\listings.py", line 137, 
02:48:08 <[Tritium]> randanium: the source for getnickola is https://github.com/getnikola/nikola-site
02:49:17 <randanium> hi tritium
02:49:23 <randanium> I've cloned it from github
02:49:50 <randanium> however, i don't see anything like an index.rst
02:50:17 <randanium> only the index.html 
02:50:19 <[Tritium]> randanium: because there is an index.html (with metadata comments) in stories
02:50:55 <randanium> ok so that means it's not like it was originally an index.rst
02:51:03 <randanium> that was converted into html by nikola
02:51:06 <randanium> is that correct?
02:51:40 <randanium> sorry i'm a noob and trying to understand what are the limitations of ReStructured text, before we need to start using html
02:51:42 <[Tritium]> No.  the source for the index page on getnikola.org was an html file
02:51:48 <randanium> ok got it
02:52:31 <randanium> the other question i have is
02:52:39 <randanium> when i try to nikola build the nikola-site
02:52:40 <randanium> .  render_listings:output\listings\conf.py.html TaskError - taskid:render_listings:output\listings\conf.py.html PythonAction Error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "c:\users\randl\anaconda3\envs\nikola\lib\site-packages\doit\action.py", line 424, in execute     returned_value = self.py_callable(*self.args, **kwargs)   File "c:\users\randl\anaconda3\envs\nikola\lib\site-packages\nikola\plugins\task\listings.py", line 137, 
02:52:44 <randanium> i get the above error
02:53:51 <[Tritium]> I dont know what the issue is with that, Chris or ralsina might, but they are both afk
02:54:56 <randanium> cool thanks mate
02:54:58 <randanium> appreciate it
02:55:09 <randanium> nikola is awesome..i like it alot better than pelican
02:55:21 <randanium> and having this IRC chat thing helps heaps
04:28:01 <randanium> one more question
04:28:05 <randanium> in the conf.py file i found
04:28:29 <randanium> # HTML fragments with the Read more... links. # The following tags exist and are replaced for you: # {link}                        A link to the full post page. # {read_more}                   The string “Read more” in the current language. # {reading_time}                An estimate of how long it will take to read the post. # {remaining_reading_time}      An estimate of how long it will take to read the post, sans the teaser
04:28:42 <randanium> what is this for?
04:29:09 <randanium> so as for the {reading_time}
04:29:25 <randanium> does nikola calculate how long ti takes to read it?
04:29:35 <randanium> or is that just a tag where we insert how long a post or page takes to read?
06:17:10 <randanium> hi i'm trying to set up nikola as a webpage first and a blog second
06:17:14 <randanium> what i odn't understand is that
06:17:20 <randanium> there is the INDEX_PATH = "" command
06:17:28 <randanium> and as a blog, it automatically generates an index.html
06:17:36 <randanium> so if we want to have a landing page
06:18:01 <randanium> and we put the landing page index.html in the `pages` directory
06:18:18 <randanium> so does that mean i change the INDEX_PATH = "pages"
06:18:46 <randanium> and it keeps having an error when I build because the rst file in pages is trying to build the index.html and so is the blog function
06:18:59 <randanium> https://getnikola.com/creating-a-site-not-a-blog-with-nikola.html
06:19:03 <randanium> its confusing because the nikola link
06:19:11 <randanium> says that to set the index_path ="blog"
10:10:30 <ChrisWarrick> randanium: INDEX_PATH specifies where the blog index goes, that’s https://getnikola.com/blog/index.html
10:11:05 <ChrisWarrick> randanium: If you want a landing page like getnikola.com, this is done by PAGES (a blank path) and a page with slug=index
11:00:59 <CRCinAU> so I'm actually quite happy with my Nikola output no
11:01:00 <CRCinAU> +w
11:01:09 <CRCinAU> to the point where I've retired my wordpress install.
11:01:14 <CRCinAU> haven't found anything totally broken yet
13:16:46 <gour> morning
13:17:03 <gour> irc logs are not generated any longer?
13:20:30 <ChrisWarrick> hm, KwBot crashed/failed to start at some point
12:26:27 <ChrisWarrick> KwBot: ping
12:26:27 <KwBot> ChrisWarrick: pong
12:27:07 <ChrisWarrick> irclogs site should be fixed
12:27:12 <ChrisWarrick> gour: thanks for pointing out
