Enhanced Note Location

[uroybd]

Currently, the note URL is being determined by the dg-permalink key, and in its absence, by location in the vault. A thing to notice here is, no matter what the permalink is, it will always be placed in the file tree as in the vault.

Another thing is, a gardener might want a different organization in the published garden which can differ from the vault.

To achieve more control over the representations I thought of two solutions which will complement each other.

Path Rewrite Rules

A textarea in the settings where the users can add rewrite rules. For example:

Personal/Journal:Personal
Personal/Books/Read:What I Read

In every line of colon-delimited rules, the first part is to be the from part, and the second part is to be the to part.

dg-path

A frontmatter entry to provide the path of the note.

Precedences in Path resolution

1. dg-path
2. default path with rewrite rules applied

Precedences for URL generation

1. dg-permalink
2. permalink based path as resolved by path resolution.

I would love to see this feature!

Great suggestion! I've found myself wanting to have a different structure in my vault than in the published site. I think the implementation suggested here would be great, and allow for lots of customisations without getting overly complicated.

Currently I have an entirely separate vault for my digital garden simply because the path mirrors the vault structure, which differs from how I would want to organize it if I kept everything within my primary vault.

I've implemented it. It's awaiting approval.

Great, thank you @uroybd. I'll try to get to it today

@oleeskild Wait a bit, I'm doing a little more enhancement.

I tried, but it seems impossible, you can merge the current version.
