Almost All My Templates Are Ready For The Next Version Of Zola

I posted about it last week, I think, but I have been slowly getting my templates ready for the next version of Zola. It would have been much quicker if I didn’t have the complex weather stuff, but it is worth it to have that taken care of.

With the new version of Tera, it is in plenty of ways easier to deal with that stuff since I can create maps and pass those. There have been some glitches, but I am doing this without any real documentation.

I have peeked at the Rust code, which I am not super comfortable with. Remember when I was trying to learn that? I was doing okay with it, then life went nuts.

I have everything I noticed functional now. I just have to go through and make sure everything is good. Undoubtedly I am sure there will be small cosmetic things I left in when I was testing that I don’t know, but I would say I could safely run this site on the new version soon. I am sure I will switch it over soon.

I can say it is much faster at generating the site. It is orders of magnitude faster. It is taking just a few seconds instead of close to a minute.

This is the first time that I can think of, or at least any breaking changes have affected me since I have been using Zola. When I used Hugo, they were much more frequent. Every so often they are unavoidable, and I think this next version of Tera will make things a lot easier once I get used to it.

For the most part I am happy with how they are working now. I just need to make sure everything is valid HTML and all that fun stuff because if it is being generated by a program there is no excuse for it to not be.
