Pico is a stupidly simple, blazing fast, flat file CMS. See for more info. `PicoFilePrefixes` removes file prefixes (e.g. date identifiers) from page URLs. For example, the blog article `content/blog/20160707.visit-us-on-github.md` normally corresponds to the page URL , however, by installing this plugin, the article will be accessible through the much more user-friendly URL . This makes organizing your website's pages on the filesystem easier than ever before. Install ------- [](#install) You can either install `PicoFilePrefixes` using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), or using a single PHP plugin file. We recommend you to use Composer whenever possible, because it allows you to keep the plugin up-to-date way more easily. If you use a Composer-based installation of Pico and want to either remove or install `PicoFilePrefixes`, simply open a shell on your server and navigate to Pico's install directory (e.g. `/var/www/html/pico/`). Run `composer remove phrozenbyte/pico-file-prefixes` to remove `PicoFilePrefixes`, or run `composer require phrozenbyte/pico-file-prefixes` (via [Packagist.org](https://packagist.org/packages/phrozenbyte/pico-file-prefixes)) to install `PicoFilePrefixes`. If you really want to install `PicoFilePrefixes` using a single PHP plugin file, [download the latest release](https://github.com/PhrozenByte/pico-file-prefixes/releases/latest) and upload the `PicoFilePrefixes.php` file to the `plugins` directory of your Pico installation (e.g. `/var/www/html/pico/plugins/`). `PicoFilePrefixes` requires Pico 2.0+ Config ------ [](#config) The plugin recursively drops file prefixes of all files in the `content/blog/` directory by default. You can specify other directories by altering the `PicoFilePrefixes.recursiveDirs` and/or `PicoFilePrefixes.dirs` config variables (both expect YAML lists) in your `config/config.php`. The former parses all files of a directory recursively (i.e. including all its subfolders), whereas the latter parses just files in this particular directory. The default configuration looks like the following: ``` PicoFilePrefixes: recursiveDirs: - blog dirs: [] ``` If you want to additionally enable the plugin for the `content/showcase/` directory, try the following configuration: ``` PicoFilePrefixes: recursiveDirs: - blog - showcase dirs: [] ``` If you want to enable the plugin for any folder, try the following: ``` PicoFilePrefixes: recursiveDirs: - . dirs: [] ``` To enable the plugin for pages in the `content/misc/` directory only (i.e. not including subfolders like `content/misc/sub/`), try the following: ``` PicoFilePrefixes: recursiveDirs: [] dirs: - misc ``` ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 62% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity17 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
