Jekyll Liquid - accessing _config.yml dynamically
jekyll, liquid, ruby
Solution
With the way your vars are set, it would be something alog the lines of
{{ site.locales[site.default_locale][page.title] }}
The thing is, ... I don't really see the point of doing this. Let's say your page is the english page. The locale should then be defined within the page, and so should your title!
---
locale: en
title: My Wonderful Page
---
Which you can retrieve with `{{ page.title }}` ...
What could be the point of putting the title into the `_config.yml` file?
(edit) well unless you want to access `page.title` when in another page/post, in this case you have no choice but to put it into `_config.yml`.
Problem
For internationalizing my app I need to be able to dynamically access entries in a YAML file. It is best explained with an example: Page: ``` --- layout: default title: title_homepage --- ``` This will then allow access to the title_homepage variable in the Default Layout Template: Default Layout: page.title = "title_homepage" Now normally I would access my _config.yml file like this: ``` {{ site.locales[site.default_locale].variable }} ``` However, now for this to work, I need to access the _config.yml with the value of page.title. This will not work: ``` {{ site.locales[site.default_locale].page.title }} ``` I need the following (pseudo code): ``` {{ site.locales[site.default_locale].#{value of page.title}} ```
