separating content from code

[nabajour]

Hi,

I like to have my website content separated from the code creating the website (I already have a bunch of orgmode notes in another git repository I would like to transform into posts). I tried moving the nikola code to /home/me/nikola and the content to /home/me/website_content/. I moved the pages, posts, files, folders, images, listings, galleries into that folder.

I managed to get it mostly to work with change along these lines in conf.py:

CONTENT_HOME = "/home/me/website/"
 POSTS = (
    (CONTENT_HOME + "posts/*.org", "blog", "post.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "posts/*.rst", "blog", "post.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "posts/*.md", "blog", "post.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "posts/*.txt", "blog", "post.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "posts/*.html", "blog", "post.tmpl"),
 )
 PAGES = (
    (CONTENT_HOME + "pages/*.org", "", "page.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "pages/*.rst", "", "page.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "pages/*.md", "", "page.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "pages/*.txt", "", "page.tmpl"),
    (CONTENT_HOME + "pages/*.html", "", "page.tmpl"),
 )

IMAGE_FOLDERS = {CONTENT_HOME + 'images': 'images'}

GALLERY_FOLDERS = {CONTENT_HOME + "galleries": "galleries"}

I haven't tested everything, but this seems to be on the correct track. But the gallery generation fails when doing this.

I don't uses the gallery, so I could just disable the plugin for now.

Question for people with an idea of the internals of the code: is there anything advising against continuing down that path, with potential hidden issues lurking? I could probably also get to what I want with some symlinking...

It's just that nobody has tried it. If you like it that way, go ahead.
