Blackhole

The ⚫ Blackhole Plugin is for Grav CMS.

Description

Why Blackhole? Grav is a space term, so I think this plugin should follow suit. Time stops at the event horizon of a black hole, which is exactly what this plugin does to your website. It freezes it in a state. By Increasing gravity to infinity you get a static black hole, or in this case you generate a static html copy of your Grav website.

Installation

GPM Installation

The simplest way to install this plugin is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM). From the root of your Grav install type:
bin/gpm install blackhole

Manual Installation

If you can’t use GPM you can manually install this plugin. Download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins, then rename the folder to blackhole.

Usage

Absolute URLs must be enabled in Grav System Configuration.

Generate Command

The generate command can be used from the command line or directly in the Grav Admin Panel. Generate your static site. generate can also be written as gen or g.
