Numbered folder

Every page in a folder opens its name with a number and a hyphen, such as 01-day-one.md, 02-day-two.md and 03-day-three.md, so Statac reads the folder as numbered.

What you’ll see

note  Numbered folder: `content/days/` is ordered by the number each name opens with
  If the numbers are part of the names, write `numbered: false` in `content/days/index.md`.

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac says so

In a numbered folder the numbers give the order: the folder’s list holds every page in it, dated or not, first number first. The numbers are left out of the addresses, so 03-day-three.md is published at /day-three/, and renumbering a page never moves it. The first number is always the order, so 07-50-notes.md is published at /50-notes/.

A page in the folder that has a date is still a post everywhere else: the site’s list, its tags and its series keep their date order.

Statac says so once for each folder, since a folder of names that happen to start with numbers would otherwise be reordered and readdressed without a word. Once you have understood it, it can be quietened.

How to fix it

If the numbers are meant to order the folder, nothing is wrong.

If the numbers are part of the names, as in a folder of years, write this in the folder’s index.md, and the names and addresses keep them:

numbered: false

A folder where some pages open with a number and some don’t is not numbered.

Example

content/days/ holds 01-day-one.md, 02-day-two.md and 03-day-three.md. They are listed in that order, at /days/day-one/, /days/day-two/ and /days/day-three/.

To order a folder without renaming its files, write the order in its index.md instead, by the names in the pages’ addresses:

order: [day-one, day-two, day-three]

Its name

Name	numbered-folder
In the terminal	statac explain numbered-folder
To stop showing it	quiet: [numbered-folder] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
