The tipue plugin registers itself as pelican.plugins.tipue_search (namespace
plugin) in the latest version see here:
7fe8f3f05c
Keep old style tipue_search to be compatible with old versions.
To use the search one would need to add "search" to DIRECT_TEMPLATES in
pelicanconf.py so that search.html is copied to the output folder:
DIRECT_TEMPLATES = ["index", "tags", "categories", "archives", "search"]
- To speed up page load the js files should be loaded on bottom of page.
- search files are only needed if you search. Move them to search page
- instantiate tipue search only on search page
Pelican 4.5.0 changed the plugins mechanism and the default for
PLUGINS is now None. The following type of construct is used in a
number of places in Flex:
{% if 'tipue_search' in PLUGINS %}
If PLUGINS is not set in pelicanconf.py, the following exception will
be triggered under Pelican 4.5.0:
TypeError: argument of type 'NoneType' is not iterable
The Pelican maintainers did not intend the examination of PLUGINS by
templates to be a stable API (per a discussion on IRC). Per their
request, an enhancement request for a mechanism to do this has been
submitted here: https://github.com/getpelican/pelican/issues/2797
This commit changes the problematic constructs in Flex to be in the
style of:
{% if PLUGINS and 'tipue_search' in PLUGINS %}
This allows Flex to work with Pelican 4.5.0 even if users do not
define PLUGINS. Note that to use the new namespace plugins in Pelican
4.5.0, PLUGINS will have to be left at its default of None.
Resolves#245
