Configured Pages CMS
I had been looking for a way to write Hugo articles on mobile devices like my iPad, and that’s when I came across this article by mehori and decided to try Pages CMS.

To be honest, it doesn’t properly support Hugo’s folder structure (/articlename/index.md), which makes image uploads a bit tricky. On top of that, I couldn’t upload images from my iPhone because of a 413 error. But, since I was able to set up and write text-only articles in Japanese from my iPad, I’ll count it as a win.
Along the way, I ran into a very minor YAML frontmatter parsing error, but I was able to find a workaround. https://github.com/pages-cms/pages-cms/issues/308
It’s a platform where you can figure things out by reading the code, and it has the bare minimum functionality, so it’s good enough for my needs.
Here are my current settings: https://github.com/chezou/chezo.uno/blob/facb890318c4b6f6ffc9c36e9a37b83e662069d6/.pages.yml
I also migrated from wowchemy to hugo-blox, which was quite a hassle. You can find more details in the PR. But seriously, the names have changed way too many times: Hugo Academic -> Wowchemy -> Hugo Blox…
I also fixed an issue where Amazon affiliate images weren’t showing up by changing the settings to not display images. https://github.com/chezou/chezo.uno/commit/95aad549ee3554bacb560d39dfb51d1499207aa8 https://github.com/chezou/chezo.uno/commit/861182ece0c398787306c242b7f3c558508b8d43
After the migration, I realized the search wasn’t working, but I managed to get it running by:
Adding a setting to create a pagefind index in the Cloudflare build command ->
&& npx pagefind --source 'public'Trying various things with Cloudflare’s Rocket Loader, but it didn’t work, so I ended up disabling it.
Now it’s working somehow, but it seems like the Japanese search won’t work properly. Oh well, what can you do?
