How to create a simple, hard-coded navigation bar in Jekyll?
I'm generating a Jekyll site with a lot of pages. By default, all these pages are included in the menu.
I don't want the majority of these pages to appear in the navigation bar. I want only two of them to be there: a) /rumerica/ and b) /about/.
I tried to use the approach from this answer and put the following file into _data/menu.yaml file:
- text: Home
url: /
- text: Rumerica
url: /rumerica/
- text: About
url: /about/
But nothing changed. How can I make Jekyll render only two (static and hard-coded) menu items without using any plugins?
Notes: You can find the source code of my site (without the new changes) here.
Solution
It seems that this feature has been added in scope of the following issue:
- Issue 19: Ability to specify Pages in Header
- Commit add
header_pagesconfig to link only specific files in header - Pull request 52: add
header_pagesconfig to link only specific files in header
In order to hard-code the list of pages to display in the navigation bar you need to add the following lines into _config.yml file:
header_pages:
