feat: Enabling viewing events in GitHub with reorg #1032
Conversation
With more than 1,000 files in a directory, it's not possible to view all files and thus requires searching. This reorganization makes it easier to see all events for a year in the repository by looking in a directory specifically for that year. This should not change the public API/schema of /events/events.json, but it does change how Jekyll represents it internally, thus requiring the new Liquid filter to manipulate Jekyll's structure into the form the data used to enter into the templates. Fixes coderetreat#1030
This properly communicates the expectation to put files into the appropriate directory by year. This also fixes a longstanding issue with the naming suggestion omitting the date for the filename itself.

I'm not seemingly able to reproduce the build failure in my devcontainers/Codespace as configured to fix problems reported in #1031. |

Thank you @colindean , this is a very useful change and a good middle-way between how we used to do it (separate collections per year, manually changing the year over) and how we did it until now so that we don't have to do the manual step any more. Problem is, a lot of the tests and tooling expect events to be exactly in The GitHub CLI was rather uncooperative in pushing changes to your branch, but I've added some commits here: https://github.com/coderetreat/coderetreat.org/tree/gh1030-organize-events-by-year We will have to make sure the following works:
@mplavcan and I can work on this in a couple of weeks and see how far we get it. Thanks for the initial push! |
