How would you create a homepage with a list of posts?

[CaldwellYSR]

I'm trying to make a site where there's a home page that is a list of posts and then the show page for the individual posts. From reading through the docs I assumed it would look like

  collections: %{
    posts: %{
      permalink: "/",
      list_layout: "home",
      show_layout: "show"
    }
  }

but then in the home.html.eex layout there is no @collection_values assigns. I might be missing something obvious here but so far I'm just confused.

Hey! Thanks for giving Griffin a try.

I see a couple of issues, the most pressing of which is the fact that collections currently doesn't seem to support permalink:

griffin/lib/mix/tasks/grf.build.ex

Lines 613 to 626 in 455c688

	render_collection_file(
	opts.output <> "/#{collection_name}/index.html",
	%{
	page: nil,
	data: %{
	layout: EEx.compile_string(Layouts.fallback_list_collection_layout()),
	collection_name: collection_name,
	collection_values: collection_values
	},
	content: "",
	input: "tags_list.eex"
	},
	opts
	)

I also hadn't considered the possibility of setting the collection permalinks to the root directory, it shouldn't be an issue but it's something I just haven't tested yet.

Collections is going to undergo a bit of a revamp through #10, what I can do is prioritize finishing that during this week and then testing your set up and making sure it works. This probably isn't the answer you were expecting, sorry about that!

Nothing to apologize for! Happy to get a transparent response. I didn't do much looking through your actual code I was simply trying this out by going through the docs and I got stuck and moved on. When I get some time I will actually dig through the code a bit and see if I can offer up a PR because the project is exciting to me.
