Tips for New Fans Getting into Basketball

vishalchowdaryg/old-website<|file_sep|>/content/blog/2019-09-14-rss-feeds-in-courier.md --- title: RSS Feeds in Courier date: '2019-09-14T23:00:00+01:00' description: >- --- ## RSS Feeds You may have noticed that I have added some RSS Feed icons at the bottom right corner. This was done as I wanted an easy way for people to subscribe to my blog posts without having them create an account. I know that most blogging platforms provide RSS feeds out-of-the-box but I wanted this functionality without using any plugins. To add this functionality I made use of [Hugo Pipes](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/). Hugo Pipes allows you to process files before they are written out. ## Adding RSS feeds In order to generate an RSS feed for my posts I created a template called `rss.xml` in `/layouts/_default`. This is where Hugo looks for templates by default. The content inside `rss.xml` looks like this: xml {{- printf "" | safeHTML }} {{ .Site.Title }} {{ with .Site.Params.description }} {{ . | safeHTML }}{{ end }} {{ .Permalink }} {{ with .Site.Params.author }} {{ . }}{{ end }} {{ range .Data.Pages.ByDate.Reverse }} {{ if eq .Type "post" }} {{ .Title }} {{ if eq .Kind "page" }} {{ .Permalink }}{{ else }} {{ .RelPermalink }}{{ end }} {{ safeHTML ( .PublishDate.Format "Mon, Jan _2, _2:15:04 MST" ) }} {{ if ne .Description "" }} {{ .Description | safeHTML }}{{ end }} {{ if ne .Summary "" }} {{ .Summary | html }}{{ end }} {{ if ne .PlainSummary "" }} {{ .PlainSummary | plainify | safeHTML }}{{ end }} {{ if ne .Excerpt "" }} {{ .Excerpt | html }}{{ end }} {{ range first "main" (where (.Resources.ByType "image") ".Name" "!=_index") }} {{ end }} {{ with .Lastmod }} {{ safeHTML ( .Format "Mon, Jan _2, _2:15:04 MST" ) }}{{ end }} {{ range $index,$taxonomy := .Site.Taxonomies.tags }} {{ $taxonomy.Term }}{{ end }} {{ range $index,$taxonomy := .Site.Taxonomies.categories }} {{ $taxonomy.Term }}{{ end }} {{ end }} {{ end }} This file defines what goes into an RSS feed including title & description etc. I made use of Hugo Pipes by adding this code at top level: go-html-template {{- hugo.Pipe resources.Get "static/feed.xml" -}} This code will take `feed.xml` from `/static` directory (the root directory) & pipe it through all pipes registered on it. Since there aren't any pipes registered I then added another pipe which will process my template: go-html-template {{- hugo.Pipe resources.FromString (printf "%s" (render "rss.xml" (dict "Page" $.Page "Site" $.Site))) -}} This code will take my template & render it with page data so that it includes my blog posts etc. The final step is to add another pipe which will write out my feed: go-html-template {{- hugo.Pipe resources.WriteAs "feed.xml" -}} This will write out `feed.xml` which contains all my posts etc. I then added another pipe which will set cache headers so that browsers don't cache my feeds too aggressively: go-html-template {{- hugo.Pipe resources.SetHeaders (dict "Cache-Control" "no-cache") -}} The full template now looks like this: go-html-template {{- hugo.Pipe resources.Get "static/feed.xml" -}} {{- hugo.Pipe resources.FromString (printf "%s" (render "rss.xml" (dict "Page" $.Page "Site" $.Site))) -}} {{- hugo.Pipe resources.WriteAs "feed.xml" -}} {{- hugo.Pipe resources.SetHeaders (dict "Cache-Control" "no-cache") -}} ## Adding Icons To add icons I made use [this guide](https://www.elao.com/en/blog/add-rss-icon-to-your-hugo-blog). I made some minor changes because I didn't want multiple icons & I wanted them at bottom right corner. This was done by adding following code into `layouts/partials/footer.html`: {{ if isset $.Site.Params.socialIcons ".rss"}} {{ $url := printf "%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s" ($.Site.BaseURL) ($.Scratch.Get "resource") ($.Scratch.Get "_gen") "/feed.xml" ($.Scratch.Get "_file") ($.Scratch.Get "_ext") "?v=" (.File.ContentBase64) $.Now.Format "20060102150405" $.Now.Unix }} {{ partialCached "socialicon.html" (dict "_srcset" "" "_href" $url "_icon" "/images/social/rss.svg" "_title" (printf "%s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s %s" "" $.Site.Title ": " $.Site.Params.description ". " "RSS Feed" ) ) ($.Now.Unix) }} {{end}} ## Conclusion That's all there is too it! Very simple way to add RSS feeds without using any plugins. <|file_sep|># Source repository name = 'Vishal Chowdary G' homepage = 'https://www.vishalchowdaryg.com' description = 'A personal website built using Hugo & deployed using Netlify' [params] # Base site settings copyright = 'Vishal Chowdary G ©2020' author = 'Vishal Chowdary G' email = '[email protected]' # Main menu items [[menu.main]] identifier = 'blog' name = 'Blog' url = '/blog/' weight = -110 [[menu.main]] identifier = 'about' name = 'About' url = '/about/' weight = -100 [[menu.main]] identifier = 'contact' name = 'Contact' url = '/contact/' weight = -90 # Social media links [[params.socialIcons]] identifier = 'linkedin' title = 'LinkedIn' href= 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/vishalchowdaryg/' icon= '/images/social/linkedin.svg' [[params.socialIcons]] identifier = 'github' title = 'GitHub' href= 'https://github.com/vishalchowdaryg/' icon= '/images/social/github.svg' [[params.socialIcons]] identifier = 'twitter' title = 'Twitter' href= 'https://twitter.com/vishalchowdaryg/' icon= '/images/social/twitter.svg' [[params.socialIcons]] identifier = 'email' title = '@[email protected]' href= '/contact/' icon= '/images/social/email.svg' [[params.socialIcons]] identifier = 'rss' title = '' href= '/feed.xml' icon= '/images/social/rss.svg' [outputs] home = ['HTML', 'RSS', 'JSON'] page = ['HTML', 'RSS', 'JSON'] section = ['HTML', 'RSS', 'JSON'] taxonomyTerm = ['HTML', 'RSS', 'JSON'] <|file_sep|>// Copyright © vishalchowdaryg.com All rights reserved. // Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style // license that can be found in the LICENSE file. package main import ( gohugoioHUGO_HYPERTEXT_PREPROCESSOR_0_92_2_1_hugoext // import path managed by Hugo; DO NOT EDIT. ) func main() { gohugoioHUGO_HYPERTEXT_PREPROCESSOR_0_92_2_1_hugoext.Main() } <|file_sep|>@charset "utf-8"; /* Generated by Font Squirrel (https://www.fontsquirrel.com) on February 25, 2020 */ @font-face { font-family: '_icons'; src:url('fonts/_icons.eot'); src:url('fonts/_icons.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('fonts/_icons.woff') format('woff'), url('fonts/_icons.ttf') format('truetype'), url('fonts/_icons.svg#_icons') format('svg'); font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; } [class^="icon-"]:before, [class*=" icon-"]:before { font-family: '_icons'; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; speak: none; display: inline-block; text-decoration: inherit; width: 1em; margin-right: .2em; text-align: center; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none; line-height: 1em; margin-left: .2em; color: inherit; } .icon-github:before { content: 'f092'; } /* 'f092' */ .icon-twitter:before { content: 'f099'; } /* 'f099' */ .icon-linkedin:before { content: 'f0e1'; } /* 'f0e1' */ .icon-rss:before { content: 'f09e'; } /* 'f09e' */ .icon-envelope:before { content: 'f0e0'; } /* 'f0e0' */ .icon-home:before { content: 'f015'; } /* 'f015' */ .icon-info:before { content: 'f129'; } /* 'f129' */ .icon-chevron-right:before { content: 'f054'; } /* 'f054' */ .icon-chevron-left:before { content: 'f053'; } /* 'f053' */<|repo_name|>vishalchowdaryg/old-website<|file_sep|>/content/blog/2019-12-31-how-to-improve-your-memory.md --- title: How To Improve Your Memory? date: '2019-12-31T21:10:00+01:00' description: --- # Introduction How many times
