Get rid of index.html in URL

[sapegin]

Is there any way to remove index.html from all links?

I noticed this also. I edited the theme. That's how I 'sanitized' the path.

- var regex = /(\/index\.html?$)|(\/?$)/;
- var path = article.path.replace(regex, '');
//-fix for permalink in pages
a(href=url_for(path))
  +title(article)

This feature is good to have.

I ended up with a helper:

hexo.extend.helper.register('page_url', function(path, options) {
    return this.url_for(path, options).replace(/index\.html$/, '');
});

But internal settings would be better.

I'm using this setting and not seeing index.html in the site generated.
How are you guys producing this issue?

permalink: :title/

I gave up with Hexo, so it’s irrelevant for me now.

@leesei this happens on pages, not posts.

Come on guys, what's up with this? I can't believe it's 8 months since last thought (@sapegin quit) and nothing's been fixed?
@sapegin - what are you using now? I just came to hexo because of metalsmith problems, and things continue to go wrong... I'm getting very tired now! :)

@fourpixels I’ve written my own simple generator and now I’m finally happy ;-)

Hey, it looks interesting! Unfortunately I cannot use it right now as I'm in a big hurry and I need out of the box solutions for posts querying, categories, tags and all that crap :(
But it seemed like almost every tool I use has it's own drawbacks. Not only that I need to hack .htaccess file to remove the crappy .index, but I also have to manually copy that file around! (swear)

Good luck with your generator!
