Compiling to given directory about phrozn

[farazdagi]

Agreed on both fronts. Will see if I can push it into hotfix release (0.2.1) next week.

Thanks!

[tobiassjosten]

Awesome! I'll see if I can free up some time to try and help you out with some actual code, unless you beat me to it.

Hi. I'm experiencing this problem in 0.5.3 beta. phr up src dest appends "/.." to dest, generating files in src/../. The workaround is to use something like phr up src dest/discarded_word.

Edit: Moved --regen issue to #76.

Hi @alexgieg,

can you explain more what you are doing? In my env static generation works fine,

$ mkdir src dest
$ phr init src
$ ls -las src/
4 drwxrwxr-x 3 walter walter 4096 Feb  5 19:08 .
4 drwxrwxr-x 3 walter walter 4096 Feb  5 19:08 ..
4 drwxrwxr-x 9 walter walter 4096 Feb  5 19:08 .phrozn

$ phr up src dest

Phrozn is extremely flexible static site generator for PHP.

Effectively --regen seems not working properly.

This could be related to #75

Ah! I got what was wrong. Instead of using src, my script was referring to src/.phrozn:

$ ls

I guess a sanity check with an error message would solve this nicely, but it'd be more interesting if the src folder could actually be a direct folder rather than a hidden .phrozn subfolder within an otherwise empty folder. It'd make editing and moving things around easier for the case when one has the source in one place and the generated content elsewhere. Perhaps something like a phr init --bare src command resulting in this:

$ mkdir src
$ phr init --bare src
$ ls src
archive/    config.yml  entries/    layouts/    media/      plugins/    scripts/    styles/

With a corresponding phr up --bare src dst, or even a self-detecting phr up that'd show an error message and require an explicit dst when a bare src was detected. It'd certainly help my workflow. What do you think? :)

Edit: Moved --regen issue to #76.

[wdalmut]

I think that this issue is absolutelly related to PR #75 that should simplify the project generation.

The regenerate option not working I think that we need to open a dedicated issue for this problem in order to simplify issues management.

[alexgieg]

Hi! Sorry for the delay. True enough, I'm opening a new issue about the regen not working: #76.

[farazdagi]

Compiling into custom directory is now implemented. And since -R/--regen issue got its own ticket, closing this one.
