Make the edit this page button more useful

[hugo-sid]

Current behavior

Clicking on the 'edit this page' button opens the corresponding Markdown file from the most recent commit.

What's the problem

The edit this file option on GitHub is disabled, when it is opened in the above mentioned manner. So, the purpose (allowing one to edit) is not served.

Expected behavior with example

Consider the URL: https://lotusdocs.dev/docs/guides/features/feedback-widget/
Clicking on the 'edit this page' button opens: https://github.com/colinwilson/lotusdocs.dev/blob/9907176ffb06a0c8652386aa9f72668a90d85bdc/content/docs/guides/features/feedback-widget.md/ - edit option is disabled.

It would be better if the 'edit this page' button opens any of the following links:

• Kind 1 (blob link): https://github.com/colinwilson/lotusdocs.dev/blob/release/content/docs/guides/features/feedback-widget.md
• Kind 2 (edit link): https://github.com/colinwilson/lotusdocs.dev/edit/release/content/docs/guides/features/feedback-widget.md

Example of Kind 1 link

https://gohugo.io/content-management/organization/#url

Example of Kind 2 link

Solution

One possible solution (not tested) can be to use:

<a href="{{.Site.Params.ghrepo}}edit/release/content/{{ .Lang }}/{{.File.Path}}">Edit this page</a>

Then in config/_default/params.toml :

## GH repo include trailing slash
ghrepo = "https://github.com/colinwilson/lotusdocs/"

Thank you! 👍

I hadn't noticed the edit was disabled. I'll fix this on the next update.
