Question

I have a Jekyll (Liquid) block plugin and I’d like to detect what the current page is. I see that a context is passed into render, and that I can retrieve the current site object as context.registers[:site]. However, attempts to get the current page as context.registers[:page] fail.

The problem I’m trying to solve is to create a simple block plugin to detect if the current page is the page mentioned in the tag, and highlight it.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Turns out we can also do this like:

  def render(context)
    page_url = context.environments.first["page"]["url"]

Which is not obvious but it doesn’t require patching the code.
