Is it possible to have multiple Rmd file templates for the blogdown “new post” addin?
I'd like to be able to select among two (or more) archetypes when using the "new post" addin in blogdown. The screenshots at https://github.com/rstudio/blogdown/pull/263 suggest that, if I add a "post.md" file to the archetypes directory in my theme then it will be available in the Archetype dropdown menu. However, I've added such a file, and even after restarting R I don't get anything other than "default" as an option.
Looking at new_post.R, it seems that the key phrase is
choices = unique(c('default', xfun::sans_ext(dir('archetypes', '\.md$'))
but I don't see anywhere that the path to the theme is being defined, suggesting that the latter part doesn't find a valid directory and so isn't actually generating a list of files.
Indeed, if I change 'default' to 'foo' in the above line, then my only option in the Archetype menu is foo.
I should note that edits I make to defaults.md in my archetypes directory do get applied by new_post, so hugo is finding the directory; it is just the shiny app that appears not to find it.
I originally found this using the current release version (0.9); I get the same result using v. 9.2 from GitHub.
It may well be that I'm missing something fundamental (e.g., an options setting somewhere), and if so I apologize :-)

You should add the .md file to the archetypes directory of your website root directory, instead of the theme directory.

Thanks! My site root directory did not already have anarchetypesdirectory (and hence when I went looking forarchetypes, the only place I found it was in the theme), so I had to create one. Putting the.mdfiles there indeed solved the problem. I also note thatdefault.mdin the sitearchetypesoverrides the one in the theme.

Hi @YihuiXie. I've been using Hugo for a while now and the ability that provides blogdown to write.Rmdfiles is really great but when it comes to archetypes handle I really don't get it. I mean, the official documentation about archetypes stablish a lookup order for the archerype declaration as long as the theme name is set in theconfig.tomlfile so there's no need to place the files in the root directory. Is there a way to go with this default behaviour or to copy, by default, the folder from the themes directory to the root directory?

@DavidDaza I just made a few changes in the dev version of blogdown. Please test it withremotes::install_github('rstudio/blogdown'). This version will respect Hugo's lookup order for archetypes, and will also list the available archetypes in the theme. Thanks!
