Accessing un-published posts in a template? about jekyll-help HOT 5 CLOSED

Consider using a different YAML front-matter item:

In your post:

---
title: My upcoming post
written: false
permalink: THIS-CRAZY-UNGUESSABLE-LINK-HAHAHAHOIAENFOEA
---

This post is unwritten

Now list the posts, but showing only those you want to show:

<ul>
{% for post in site.posts %}
  <li>
  {% if post.written %}
    <a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
  {% else %}
    {{ post.title }} (coming soon)
  {% endif %}
  </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Thanks for the info - that could work at the post level, but I have the following issues with it.

1. The series component allows me to just include {% include series.html %} anywhere and it generates the series
2. I would rather not duplicate code like this within blog-post content if possible. Would love to find a way to abstract out the series concept from the posts...
3. I'm not sure how to get what I want with that example and not have the future posts arrive in the rss feed and the RecentPosts section on the right of the page.

You'll like collections: jekyll/jekyll#2199

Thanks, I'll be patient and wait to take a look at this.

For now I may just go with what I have and not worry about showing the up-and-coming posts. Since the tool will automatically re-generate the series section anyway.

Thanks!

Closing this out. I think this is a fantastic use case for collections, though. We should write a tutorial on how to do this once 2.0 is finally released.
