Some of our website pages are loaded by our mobile app and when this is the case, I don’t want to show the header or footer of our pages. I thought the best way to achieve this would be to use a new output format called “APP” and render a different template.
As an aside:- it doesn’t seem possible to choose a different base template from a template? Just have to override blocks?
My config looks as so:
[outputFormats]
[outputFormats.AppFormat]
name = "app"
isPlainText = false
mediaType = "text/html"
isHTML = true
permalinkable = true
path = "app"
[outputs]
section = ["HTML", "APP"]
page = ["HTML", "APP"]
This is working as expected for pages. An app directory is created and a copy of the page and images are in there so for a blog post for example would be /app/blog/post1 and in the post1 directory would be an index.html and any images that were included in the content.
Section / List pages (is there a difference between section and list?) however behave differently. The index.html page is in an app directory inside the section directory. So the URL for blog section page is /blog/app but local images to that page are not there, they are in /app/blog/image1.jpg breaking my image paths.
What’s going on? Why isn’t the app index.html also with the images?
I tried the pre-configured AMP to see if I had configured the APP output format wrong and it has the same behaviour.
Many thanks
