20:40 <rift> Hello, just wondering if anyone knows a way to enable a layout on all html pages within content, with the exception of one subfolder in content? For instance, I have a project that contains a lot of separate sites and all but one of those websites make use of one layout. The ones that doesn't uses a different layout.

20:41 <bobthecow> rift: put a rule (or set of rules) for that folder above the other rules so they match first?

20:43 <rift> Oh does ordering matter? I'll give it a shot.

20:44 <bobthecow> yeah, items are compiled and routed using the first rule that matches.

20:44 <bobthecow> so you put general rules last, and specific rules above them.

20:45 <rift> Oh ok. Here's what I have so far.

20:45 <rift> compile '*' do

20:45 <rift> if item.binary?

20:45 <rift> filter :erb

20:45 <rift> end

20:45 <rift> layout 'foo'

20:45 <rift> end

20:45 <rift> compile '/bar/*' do

20:45 <rift> unless item.binary?

20:45 <rift> end

20:45 <rift> filter :erb

20:45 <rift> layout 'bar'

20:45 <rift> end

20:45 <bobthecow> yeah. flip those.

20:45 <bobthecow> more specific rules need to go first.

20:46 <rift> oh ok.

20:47 <rift> it didnt seem to work. it ends up compiling both the layouts for the one page. is there a way to restrict it to the bar layout?

20:47 <bobthecow> what?

20:47 <bobthecow> nanoc only matches one rule per item.

20:47 <bobthecow> can you paste your exact rules file to a gist or something?

20:48 <rift> ya one sec

20:51 <rift> https://gist.github.com/rift137/2765212e3c29028d5d72

20:57 <bobthecow> i don't see anything super problematic.

20:57 <bobthecow> none of your css or js files inside your special subdirectories will be rendered properly.

20:57 <bobthecow> those rules need to go first of everything

20:57 <bobthecow> (*/css/*)

20:58 <rift> ok

21:00 <rift> Unfortunately I still have the "compile *" and the "compile '/wasc/*'" layout being rendered on one page. is there a way to exclude the wasc one from the * one?

21:01 <bobthecow> they're not, i promise.

21:01 <bobthecow> there's something else going on.

21:02 <rift> oh ok. hmm :/

21:03 <bobthecow> also, those sections are all basically the same... I'd do this instead: https://gist.github.com/bobthecow/bcdf42ffffd1d72d30df

21:05 <bobthecow> but as far as why you're getting things you don't expect in the compiled results... are you referencing .compiled_content anywhere?

21:05 <rift> well thats much cleaner. thanks. ill check

21:06 <rift> doesnt look like it

21:07 <bobthecow> any chance you have multiple yields in your layouts?

21:07 <bobthecow> do any of your layouts include other layouts?Q

21:10 <rift> yes I believe so. all projects except wasc should have the compile '*' do layout and then their own within that one.

21:11 <bobthecow> and how are you doing that?

21:14 <rift> Ha. I am calling <% render 'layoutname' do %> within each consecutive layout

21:14 <rift> well that was easier than I thought...

21:15 <bobthecow> rather than doing that (in any layout) you should use multiple layout calls in your rules.

21:16 <bobthecow> sections.each do |name|

21:16 <bobthecow> compile "/#{name}/*" do

21:16 <bobthecow> layout name

21:16 <bobthecow> filter :erb

21:16 <bobthecow> unless item.binary?

21:16 <bobthecow> layout 'biola'

21:16 <bobthecow> end

21:16 <bobthecow> end

21:16 <bobthecow> end

21:16 <rift> hmm that would be preferable. Awesome, thanks for the help :)

21:16 <bobthecow> no problem.

21:17 <bobthecow> i've got a site with some items that get 5 layouts applied :)

21:17 <rift> lol wow.
