adding a menu in header to show a list of posts and not just one markdown file about jekyll-theme-console HOT 9 CLOSED

Hi Aman,

The theme doesn't provide a built-in secondary-menu. Maybe I can inspire you with some possible solutions:

• You could create a new page which is based on the layout "home". If you do that, you will get automatically a list of all your posts. That's not a secondary menu, but it may feels like a sub-menu and would be a very easy solution.
• You could fork this theme and modify it to create your own custom theme. You would want to change _includes/header.html and _sass/base.scss. If you know html, css and jekyll a little, it is easy to add a secondary-menu or a dropdown-sub-menu or whatever... If you don't know html, css & jekyll don't be afraid to learn it! You're welcome to submit a pull-request with your changes if you think your solution is useful for others too.

I hope I could answer your question and help you with your request. Don't hesitate to ask if you need more assistance.

Cheers!

I have to deal with something similar;

actually wanted to link the "posts" into the "/blog/" permalink instead of "/" {index.md};
but I am unable to do so, and the only option left is to manually link them into the blog.md file.

Hi @thenishkarshagarwal
Just use the home layout.

title: /blog
layout: home
permalink: /blog

I'm really sorry, I gave you the incomplete details.
I already tried that, but it didn't work.

also changed index.md to "page".

Ok so you're doing that right but I think your post is not generated by jekyll. Check this page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30625044/jekyll-post-not-generated
If that doesn't help I would clone the repo on your machine and debug local.. But I'm pretty sure above link helps, especially the part of the naming convention of your files (your post file name doesn't contain a date...

your post file name doesn't contain a date

damn, I'm a fool. I noticed it earlier, but forgot to apply it.
a lot thanks for helping me out. this now works.

right now, the "test post"'s URL looks like this :
https://thenishkarshagarwal.github.io/2020/11/15/test-post.html

how can I change this to something like this :
https://thenishkarshagarwal.github.io/blog/test-post.html

without manually linking it in the blog.md file?
