Ktoś już może migrował swoją stronę z Grava 1.7 na 2.0?

Cały proces wydaje się prosty i przyjemny, bo wersja 2.0 jest stawiana obok 1.7, gdzie dostęp do nowej wersji jest z osobnego folderu, a produkcyjne 1.7 nie jest ruszane i strona cały czas jest widoczna dla innych z wersji 1.7, dopóki nie przełączy się odpowiedniej wajchy. Mimo to chciałbym wiedzieć, czy ktoś już natrafił na jakieś rafy podczas tego procesu 😉

Fresh preview of Helios Open Reader – a free, open-source plugin that transforms the Grav Premium Helios theme into a web-first publishing platform for open textbooks, guides, and structured content.

Simpler than developer tools, more flexible than hosted services. Your content, your server, your terms.

Still in preview, official release coming soon!

🔍 Search just got smarter in Helios Open Reader.

Results are now grouped by section – and when your reader uses Parts, results group by Part label automatically. Better still, the most relevant section surfaces first, not just alphabetically.

Find what matters, faster 👀

ICYMI: Something new is brewing! Working on Git Page Link for Grav – a standalone plugin that grew out of open authoring work on the Helios Course Hub.

Adds a Git repository link to any page using Git Sync with configurable mode (edit/view/repo), icon, position, and more. Sometimes a side project becomes its own thing. 👀

Brave early adopters can download and manually install a pre-release and give it a try at:

Fellow #GravCMS fans, some pretty big news is on its way🚀

Pretty excited to share the news of the 1.0 release of my newest open-source project, Grav Helios Course Hub – the successor to my original Open Course Hub project.

Built entirely as a plugin, it transforms the Grav Premium Helios theme into a multi-course companion site. One hub, any number of courses, context-aware search, and all content is stored as simple Markdown text files.

Hey fellow #GravCMS fans 👋🏻

I've just put together a small plugin called Admin Helios Refresh that gives the Grav Admin Panel theme a bit more of a modern feel — zinc dark nav, accessible blues, rounded corners, subtle shadows, and focus rings. It's Helios-inspired but works with any Grav site.

Repo is at https://github.com/hibbitts-design/grav-plugin-admin-helios-refresh — README has install instructions.
