Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance the Quartz framework by implementing a sidebar hierarchy, fixing configuration issues, and improving the overall user experience through plugins and configuration adjustments.

Key Activities

  • Sidebar Hierarchy: Utilized a folder structure within the content/ directory of Quartz to create a sidebar hierarchy. This involved script adaptation for folder creation and an action plan for implementation.
  • Hierarchy Script: Developed a Python script to organize session data into a structured hierarchy for Quartz, grouping sessions by project and saving them as markdown files with appropriate metadata.
  • Git Management: Outlined steps to safely ignore the content/ folder in a Git repository, ensuring it no longer tracks changes and performing a clean local build.
  • Homepage Issue: Addressed a 404 error at the root URL by providing a minimal template for creating a homepage and instructions for rebuilding the site.
  • Plugin Recommendations: Listed recommended Quartz plugins to enhance user experience, categorizing them into recommended and optional.
  • Configuration Review: Reviewed and suggested improvements for a Quartz configuration, focusing on performance and user alignment.
  • Syntax Error Fix: Corrected a syntax error in the quartz.config.ts file related to plugin configuration.
  • Conditional Publish Flag: Provided a Python code snippet for conditionally setting the publish flag in a project’s frontmatter.

Achievements

  • Successfully implemented a sidebar hierarchy in Quartz.
  • Developed and tested a Python script for organizing session data.
  • Resolved a 404 error by creating a homepage template.
