Album informationΒΆ
Information on an album can be given in a file using the markdown syntax,
named index.md
:
Title: Another example gallery
Thumbnail: test2.jpg
Author: John Doe
And a description with *Markdown* syntax.
Some meta-data keys are used by Sigal to get the useful informations on the gallery:
- Title: the gallery title.
- Thumbnail: the thumbnail that will be used in the parent directory to represent the gallery.
- Author: the author of the gallery, if present it is used instead of the author setting.
Any additional meta-data is available in the templates. For instance:
Authors: Waylan Limberg
John Doe
can be used in the template with:
{% if 'authors' in meta %}
<p>Authors: {{ meta.authors|join(', ') }}</>
{% endif %}
If this file does not exist or if some meta-data is missing:
- The directory’s name is used for the title.
- The first landscape image of the directory is used as thumbnail, or the first image if no landscape image is found.
