This page used to be used for two patches, one of which is applied providing the usedirs option for output. The remaining patch, discussed below, concerns wanting to use foo/index.mdwn source files and get an output page name of foo, rather than foo/index. --Joey


I independently implemented a similar, but smaller patch. (It's smaller because I only care about rendering; not CGI, for example.) The key to this patch is that "A/B/C" is treated as equivalent to "A/B/C/index". Here it is: --Per Bothner

Note I handle setting the url; slightly differently. Also note that an initial "index" is ignored. I.e. a page "A/B/index.html" is treated as "A/B".

Actually, your patch is shorter because it's more elegant and better :) I'm withdrawing my old patch, because yours is much more in line with ikiwiki's design and architecture. I would like to make one suggestion to your patch, which is:

This way foo/index gets "foo" as its title, not "index". --Ethan

I took another swing at this and subverted the dominant paradigm. Here goes:

This just makes it so that all files named foo/index become pages called foo, which is the desired effect. I haven't tested everything so far, so be careful! But you can see it working at http://ikidev.betacantrips.com/one/ again, as before. --Ethan

done, the indexpages setting enables this.
