I spent the last day setting up docpad as a blogging engine, starting from https://github.com/balupton/website After getting everything working and looking the way I like it I came to one last issue -
In the page showing all blog posts I output document.contentRenderedWithoutLayouts for each document in @documents.
I have to be ready to handle a reasonably big blog
This means I need to do pagination.
What seems like the best way to do that? I was thinking having posts in subfolders inside of blog, but then I have to iterate folders assume each folder is a page paginate to next page need to also sort so that the folder with the newest posts is the first, the folder with the next latest is rendered as page 2
Perhaps your best bet is the Paged Plugin, it will automatically split a specified document into multiple documents, and inject them into the database. Does that work for you?
