Redirects insert many blank site.posts and site.pages?
soundasleep opened this issue · 5 comments
I was trying to debug a weird issue - my custom sitemap.md was generating lots of empty posts, all pointing to "redirect.html"s, and I think the issue may be from jekyll-redirect-from.
When a post sets multiple redirect_froms, does jekyll-redirect-from insert in a new entry in site.posts or site.pages for each redirect source?
If so, can this be documented? Are there any properties (e.g. page.is_redirect or post.is_redirect) that I can use to better filter the redirect pages out of a "normal" page collection?
In the meantime, I've had to modify my custom sitemap.md like so:
<ul class="post-list">
{%- assign all_posts = site.posts | concat: site.pages | sort: "date" | reverse -%}
{%- for post in all_posts -%}
{%- comment -%}
We need to check for post.title, because jekyll-redirect-from
adds lots of empty posts in site.posts or site.pages?
{%- endcomment -%}
{%- if post.title -%}
<li>
<a class="post-link" href="{{ post.url | relative_url }}">
{{ post.title | escape }}
</a>
</li>
{%- endif -%}
{%- endfor -%}

When a post sets multiple redirect_froms
When would someone set multiple redirects for a single post?
I am migrating a site over to Jekyll, and I have e.g.
/wiki/My Page
/wiki/My_Page
/wiki/my-page
All redirect to a single page.
I think the underlying problem still persists even if you have a single redirect from; it will create blank redirect.htmls for each redirect, even if there's only one.
