Incompatible alongside with blogs

[opluan]

Hi, i'm building a mixed blog-portifolio-lectures site, and trying to use this project as a separator between portifolio and lectures. It's working almost exactly as intended.

I'm using both this pluggin and starlight-blog.

But 'cause of Sidebar.astro override, that both uses it can't work, leading me to choose between each other.

I'm not a front-end dev, so i really don't know how to navigate those waters, do you know if it's possible, or i'll need to have two diferent apps?

Hello!

Thank you for your feedback on the plugin!

I do think it's possible to write a custom override for the Sidebar.astro in your case, but let me take a look first. If it's possible I'll create a PR in your repo if I can find it...

As it turns out, combining those two plugins is quite a difficult case... Component composition in Starlight plugins is generally speaking complex at the moment, but in this case, the blog creates custom routes (without being categorized into a topic) which results in a page that throws an error because no topic could be found...

I have created a repository, which cheeses the solution, so you can start directly using both plugins together:

• starlight-blog-plus-starlight-sidebar-topics -- View on Stackblitz

Note that the cheese just copies all the lib files and components into your own repo:

However, I really recommend waiting until further development in withastro/starlight#2390 because this would solve the issue for the end user, by simplifying overrides which can then be used without the cheese in the repo provided above.
