Jekyll URLS on index page - pagination

On the following Jekyll site, artdiversions.com, I have pagination on the index page. If you go to page 2, and from that page, click "Older Posts", it takes you back to artdiversions.com/index.html. This is the only page that doesn't use pretty permalinks. Is there a way to remove the "index.html" and keep the site root on page 1. My paginator code is:
{% if paginator.total_pages > 1 %}
{% if paginator.previous_page %}
<p class="col-1-2 old-arrow"><span class="icon-arrow-left"></span>Older Posts</p>
{% endif %}
{% if paginator.next_page %}
<p class="col-1-2 new-arrow">Newer Posts<span class="icon-arrow-right"></span></p>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}

On my site I use an explicit check to workaround this issue. My code is:
{% if paginator.previous_page %}
{% if paginator.previous_page == 1 %}Newer →
{% else %}Newer →
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
We seem to have differences in what is counted as newer.

Loop through entries within a category loop but only show once?

In a CraftCMs site I'm trying to loop through a couple categories, then loop through entries within each of those categories, but without duplicating the entry if it is in both categories.
Here's my base code:
{% set selectedCategories = craft.categories()
.id([12605, 12619])
.all()
%}
{% set articleAuthor = entry.id %}
{% for category in selectedCategories %}
{% set articles = craft.entries()
.section('articles')
.relatedTo([
'and', {articleAuthor}, {category}])
.all() %}
{% if articles %}
{% for article in articles %}
// entry data here
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
This works, but if an entry is in both categories it shows in both sections. I want to limit it to showing in whatever may be the first listed section. What am I missing?
In this scenario you can create a variable and check whether a duplicate entry is found or not.
{% set existingIds = [] %}
{% for article in articles %}
{% if entry.id not in existingIds %}
{% set existingIds = existingIds|merge([entry.id]) %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

How to manipulate count based on sub-values in TWIG?

I was wondering how to manipulate / render the count based on sub-rules.
In the current situation specifications are counted and when there are more than 5, a link is shown to show more specifications. I wanted to show only specs that have a value like this:
{% for spec in product.specs | limit(5) %}
{% if spec.value %}
<li>
<span>{{ spec.title }}</span>
{{ spec.value }}
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if product.specs | length > 5 %}
<li class="more">{{ 'View all specifications' | t }}</li>
{% endif %}
In this case the count is done before checking the values of the sub-items, so the "Show more" link is visible and clickable, but doesn't show more specifications, because they are stripped out, because the value is empty but is counted as item.
The goal is to hide the "Show more" link when there are < 5 items WITH values.
I hope anyone could point me in the right direction :-)
Thank you very much for thinking with me!
You could either use an extra counter to count the valid elements,
{% for spec in product.specs | limit(5) %}
{% if spec.value %}
<li>
<span>{{ spec.title }}</span>
{{ spec.value }}
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% set cnt = 0 %}
{% for spec in product.specs %}
{% if spec.value %}{% set cnt = cnt + 1 %}{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if cnt >= 5 %}
<li class="more">{{ 'View all specifications' }}</li>
{% endif %}
Or you can use the filter filter
{% if products.specs| filter(spec => spec.value|default) | length >= 5 %}
<li class="more">{{ 'View all specifications' }}</li>
{% endif %}
Update as for your comment (and as you don't have access to filter)
You can't just limit the result before hand. So in the first part you would also need to use a counter
{% set cnt = 0 %}
{% for spec in product.specs %}
{% if cnt < 5 %}
{% if spec.value %}
<li>
<span>{{ spec.title }}</span>
{{ spec.value }}
</li>
{% set cnt = cnt + 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

How to chop inside a for-loop in Twig

This is a refactoring question. The code works as is, I'm just not happy with it in an aesthetical sense.
I would like to know if the conditional inside the loop can be written in a shorter, more readable way or maybe can be stripped away?
{% set i = 0 %}
{% for element in list %}
{% if loop.first %}<div class="row">{% endif %} {# open first row #}
{% if i > 2 %} {# new row every 3 elements #}
{% set i = 0 %}
</div>
<div class="row">
<img src="{{ element.url }}">
{% else %}
{% set i = i+1 %}
<img src="{{ element.url }}">
{% endif %}
{% if loop.last %}</div>{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
As user DarkBee said, have a look into batch.
{% for element in list|batch(3) %}
.....
.....
{% endfor %}
Just to have an example on this page.

Access posts from other page in jekyll pagination

Jekyll pagination enables you to arrange posts neatly on pages. I would like to put the range of dates as a tooltip on the links to the pages, just as:
<li class="pager-item">
Page 2
</li>
The obvious way to do so would be to take the date of the first and the last post on a page. Unfortunatly jekyll-pagination only seems to deliver a list of posts for the current page via paginator.posts.
Maybe I just can't find it in the documentation, so I ask you: is it possible to access a list of posts from another page in jekyll pagination? Something like paginator.pages.2.posts?
An alternate approach would be to build my own paginaton, which should be no problem, but I would prefer to use built-in functions.
You can get the information indirectly:
paginator.previous_page and paginator.next_page give you the page number of respectively the previous and the next pagination page, or nil if the page does not exists.
paginator.per_page gives you the number of posts per page.
paginator.total_posts gives you the total number of posts in the site.
site.posts gives you a reverse chronological list of all posts.
So given the current paginator object, ensuring paginator.next_page != nil, you know the posts from the next pagination page are indexed in site.posts from a to b (included) with:
a = (paginator.next_page) * paginator.per_page
b = a + paginator.per_page - 1
Last pagination page may not be complete: remember checking b < paginator.total_posts.
Ensuring paginator.previous_page != nil, same goes for previous pagination page with:
a = (paginator.previous_page) * paginator.per_page
b = a + paginator.per_page - 1
My current approach looks like this:
{% if include.page > 0 and include.page <= paginator.total_pages %}
{% assign first = include.page | minus:1 | times:paginator.per_page %}
{% assign last = paginator.per_page | times:include.page | minus:1 %}
{% if last > paginator.total_posts %}
{% assign last = paginator.total_posts | minus:1 %}
{% endif %}
{{ site.posts[first].date | date: "%d.%m.%Y" }} bis {{ site.posts[last].date | date: "%d.%m.%Y" }}
{% else %}
OUT_OF_RANGE
{% endif %}
I really don't like the Liquid-Syntax :D
Or :
{% comment %} NOTE : shortcut "p" for "paginator" {% endcomment %}
{% assign p = paginator %}
{% comment %} date formating (see shorthand formats in Ruby's documentation : http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.3.3/Time.html#method-i-strftime) {% endcomment %}
{% assign dateFormat = "%y %b %d" %}
<ul>
{% for post in p.posts %}<li>{{ post.title }} - {{ post.date | date: dateFormat }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% comment %}++++++++++ if previous page == newest posts {% endcomment %}
{% if paginator.previous_page %}
{% assign prevPage = p.page | minus: 1 %}
{% assign prevPageLastIndex = prevPage | times: p.per_page | minus: 1 %}
{% assign prevPageFirstIndex = prevPageLastIndex | minus: p.per_page | plus: 1 %}
{% assign prevPagefirstPostDate = site.posts[prevPageFirstIndex].date | date: dateFormat %}
{% assign prevPagenextPageLastPostDate = site.posts[prevPageLastIndex].date | date: dateFormat %}
{% capture prevPageLink %}
<p><a href="{{ paginator.previous_page_path }}"></p>
Newest posts from
{% if prevPagefirstPostDate != prevPagenextPageLastPostDate %}
{{ prevPagenextPageLastPostDate }} to {{ prevPagefirstPostDate }}
{% else %}
{{ prevPagenextPageLastPostDate }}
{% endif %}
</a>
{% endcapture %}
{% endif %}
{% comment %} ++++++++++ if next page = oldest posts {% endcomment %}
{% if paginator.next_page %}
{% assign nextPage = p.page | plus: 1 %}
{% assign nextPageFirstIndex = p.page | times: p.per_page %}
{% comment %}>>Next page is not the last page = normal computing {% endcomment %}
{% if nextPage != p.total_pages %}
{% assign nextPageLastIndex = nextPageFirstIndex | plus: p.per_page | minus: 1 %}
{% comment %}>>Next page is the last page compute index from p.total_posts{% endcomment %}
{% else %}
{% assign nextPageLastIndex = p.total_posts | minus: 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% assign nextPagefirstPostDate = site.posts[nextPageFirstIndex].date | date: dateFormat %}
{% assign nextPageLastPostDate = site.posts[nextPageLastIndex].date | date: dateFormat %}
{% capture nextPageLink %}
<p><a href="{{ paginator.next_page_path }}"></p>
Previous posts from
{% if nextPagefirstPostDate != nextPageLastPostDate %}
{{ nextPageLastPostDate }} to {{ nextPagefirstPostDate }}
{% else %}
{{ nextPageLastPostDate }}
{% endif %}
</a>
{% endcapture %}
{% endif %}
{{ prevPageLink }}
{{ nextPageLink }}

A solution for grouping items in loop with Timber and Twig

Often i need to do some tricky layout on dynamic elements like galleries.
Here's one example:
<ul>
<li class="slide">
<img src="img_01.jpg">
<img src="img_02.jpg">
</li>
<li class="slide">
<img src="img_03.jpg">
<img src="img_04.jpg">
</li>
<li class="slide">
<img src="img_05.jpg">
<img src="img_06.jpg">
</li>
</ul>
I've managed to do it with the following snippet. But i wanted some suggestions if possible about how to make it more flexible or more simple, like grouping by any number. Maybe using cycle() or any other method. I was getting strange results using the slice() or array[1:2] notation.
<ul>
{% for image in gallery %}
{% set current = loop.index %}
{% set next = current + 1 %}
{% if current is odd %}
<li class="slide">
{% for image in gallery %}
{% if loop.index in [current,next] %}
{% set th = TimberImage(image) %}
<img src="{{th.src}}">
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Timber becomes very handy for quick in and out fixes with Timber::compile or custom themes with full routing. The purpose of the question is to create some snippet that can be reused.
Kudos to creators.
https://github.com/timber/timber
You can approach with the rest of the division with the following code (Here a working solutions):
{# number of element for every section #}
{% set section = 2%}
<ul>
{% for image in gallery %}
{% if loop.index % section == 1 %}
<li class="slide">
{% endif %}
{% set th = TimberImage(image) %}
<img src="{{th.src}}">
{% if loop.index % section == 0 or loop.last %}
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
You can easily reuse this code making a Twig macro using as parameter the gallery and the number of element for section (highlighted with the variable section
Here's the final result taking the suggestion of #Matteo for a macro:
https://gist.github.com/lithiumlab/5ee0454b0a77b1cc26fc0ce8ba52fd80
views/single.twig:
{% import 'utils.twig' as utils %}
{{utils.group_collection(gallery,3)}}
views/utils.twig:
{% macro group_collection(collection, groupby) %}
{% set section = groupby|default(2) %}
<ul>
{% for element in collection %}
{% if loop.index % section == 1 %}
<li class="group">
{% endif %}
{% set th = TimberImage(element) %}
<img src="{{th.src}}">
{% if loop.index % section == 0 or loop.last %}
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endmacro %}
