Moving content out of the main repo

[asbjornb]

Hi Binyamin and thanks again for making this available.

One of the reasons I wanted to use eleventy is that content and SSG can be very separate. Your template works well with my content if I drop it in the Notes folder. However I did the following to try and move the content out:

• Move assets, includes, layouts and notes folder to a different directory
• Change .eleventy.js to input: "./", to input: "./../site/site/",

It builds just fine and serves the page, I can navigate the links, but the backlinks are not included in the notes, the header menu is neither and the css doesn't apply (text is just left alligned and unformatted). Any idea where to look?

I tried reproducing by cloning and making a single commit here: https://github.com/asbjornb/test11tygarden

Could it be the return collection.getFilteredByGlob(["notes/**/*.md", "index.md"]); in .eleventy.js that doesn't return correctly when I make this change (using path relative to 11ty and not to input folder/output folder)?

The reference to the css is in the head template and the head is referenced in the default but I don't see where the default is referenced - so I guess it just uses that as default. The paths for layouts, includes and _data seem to resolve without change (they must be relative to input).

Thanks in advance!

After a lot of fiddling (not used to web :)) it seems I found what to edit to make it work in the subfolder-case:
return collection.getFilteredByGlob(["notes/**/*.md", "index.md"]); should prepend the directory structure to make sure to add notes to the collection and also the passthrough of assets (in eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy('assets');) should update to reflect the structure.
In the reproduction repo linked above just append content/ at the two filepaths above. The fixes are in the repo and I will leave the repo up until I get a chance to add a small guide here.

In the original case of an external folder this is not quite enough it seems. When running in debug I can tell that it doesn't look at the notes.11tydata.js file in the notes folder. Here is a snippet of the output from the debug mode:

  Eleventy:TemplateData Using '.11tydata' to find data files. +0ms
  Eleventy:TemplateData getLocalDataPaths('./../site/site/notes/todo.md'): [ './../site/site/notes/todo.11tydata.js', './../site/site/notes/todo.11tydata.cjs', './../site/site/notes/todo.11tydata.json', './../site/site/notes/todo.json', '../site/site/site.11tydata.js', '../site/site/site.11tydata.cjs', '../site/site/site.11tydata.json', '../site/site/site.json' ] +1ms
  Eleventy:TemplateWriter ./../site/site/notes/todo.md begun adding to map. +1ms

So it looks for specific todo data files and for folder template files for the parent folder but not for this folder.

If I use a site.11tydata.js file instead (just to test) then I get an error that it can't find the title-case module. The module is available in the node_modules, but I get this:
`Cannot find module 'title-case'
