[Feature Request] Disable taxonomy output through configuration

[Stanko]

Thank you for the excellent work on zola! 🙌

I have a feature request, I'm using taxonomies (tags and category), but I would like them not the output all the pages in:

• /tags
• /tags/[name]
• /category/
• /category/[name]

The reason is that I use taxonomies these under the hood (tags are used in a naive related posts algorithm and categories are used to generate custom archive page). You can see my current archive page here, but that is a jekyll version, as I'm still in the process of migrating to zola.

I was hoping you could add an attribute to the taxonomy configuration (similarly to the feed option), something like this:

taxonomies = [
    { name = "category", output = false},
    { name = "tags", output = false},
]

Property could be also called ouputPages, renderPages, render... or anything along those lines.

I will look into code to see if I can pull it off myself, but I still haven't wrote a line of rust in my life 🙈

Thank you!

P.S. I initially thought of just removing /public/tags and /public/category after the build, but pages are also indexed in the sitemap. That was the moment I decided to open this issue 😬

I think it makes, I need to refactor the code for taxonomies so don't worry about it, I'll handle it.

Is this issue still being worked on? If not I do not mind to contribute it, would just need some help and guidance.

Related to this issue. Besides toggling it on or off (the output), it would be cool for me if I could have it generate only the single pages, but not the list pages. As I do not have a use for the latter, while I do have one for the single ones.

Would this be considered as well please?

As a quick hack I use for my list.html of my taxonomies a soft link to my 404.html template. This is good enough for me, as the result is close enough, but it is not really the desired solution...

[Keats]

I will handle that one in my current refactor, it's in progress but it's pretty big so it will take some time

At the moment I'm using a simple script to remove taxonomy output and entries from the sitemap:

I was hoping the feed property would prevent it from wanting to generate the list.html one, but seems I misunderstand what feed means here, I suppose that one is more about the RSS feed.

[Keats]

The feed is only there if you need to generate a RSS/atom feed for the taxonomies.

I've added it to the next branch if you want to try. It's called render = true | false.

[Stanko]

Are there next builds available somewhere?

[Keats]

You have to build the next branch from source, no pre-builds.
