Hi Jason

Thanks for your reply, I'll try that solution.

Yesterday, I found a workaround by creating a custom extension which extends the Posts class:

module Awestruct
  module Extensions
    class MyPosts < Posts

      def initialize(path_prefix='', assign_to=:posts, archive_template=nil, archive_path=nil, opts={})
        super(path_prefix, assign_to, archive_template, archive_path, opts)
        @imagesdir = opts[:imagesdir] || '/images'
        puts "Initialized MyPosts extension with imagesdir=" + @imagesdir
      end
     
      def execute(site)
        super(site)
        site.posts.each do |page|
          page.imagesdir = site.base_url + @imagesdir
        end
      end
    end
  end
end


This is convenient because the imagesdir property is configured in the pipeline.rb for all the blog posts, so this does not need to be configured in each article.

Best regards,
