[hakyll] How to make a /YYYY/MM/post-permalink-here/ route structure?

[j***@gmail.com]

I'm trying to migrate to Hakyll from Jekyll, but I have to keep my old URL
structure to stay backwards-compatible. My blog posts are at, e.g.
http://my-site.com/2017/03/name-of-blog-post/ (where I guess they're all
actually named index.html). My post filenames are named in the usual Jekyll
way, like 2017-03-27-name-of-blog-post.markdown. Is there a way to
accomplish this? I'm guessing it has something to do with customRoute, but
as a Haskell beginner I'm not sure where to start.

I'm sure a custom route would work, but if it doesn't and if you
aren't deadset on maintaining the old URL structure, you could always
use the Redirect module to set up redirects from all the old URLs to
their new URLs.

Here is the custom route I use:

|postPath :: Identifier -> FilePath postPath post = let base =
takeBaseName.toFilePath $ post splitted = splitAll "-" base dir = foldl
(</>) "blog" (take 3 splitted) in dir </> (intercalate "-" $ drop 3
splitted) </> "index.html" |

This gives me
|blog/2014/01/27/apple-users-security-is-not-for-you/index.html| for a
file named |2014-01-27-apple-users-security-is-not-for-you.markdown| for
example. This works by splitting on dashes, integrating the first 3
components into the path, and reassembling the rest with dashes.

Thanks! I got it working by modifying that code a bit into this:

Jon,
Welcome!
https://www.rohanjain.in/hakyll-clean-urls/
^ this guide might help you. It shows you how to generate an index.html
file in the correct directory per blog post.
Best,
