First time running the photowall

Newman5 commented 4 weeks ago

First - Colby, you are a champion for making this. I wanted to give feedback on how I started it up.

These are the 'issues' i came across: 1 PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME?
I get this error when running npm run dev

Missing PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME. Please set it as an environment variable inside of your .env.
  Stack trace:
    at eval ... blah blah ... content-layer.js:138:5)

I'm going to change what's in the repo from NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME 
to

PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME

remove the NEXT_... and that worked.

Where am I suppose to put the folders in Cloudinary?

To start using Photowall, create a new folder called photowall in your Cloudinary account.

Inside, create 1 or more folders to create new collections. Drop your images inside each collection to create a new gallery!

To further configure your gallery, create a config.json file and place it inside of a collection directory, with the structure of:

My question is: how do I create a config.json file inside the collection directory in my cloudinary account?

looking around now...

hey sorry for the confusion

it used to be a Next.js project, i missed some spots to update the instructions
you have to create a config.json file outside of Cloudinary then drop it in so it retains the config.json name

i'll work on updating these instructions to make it more clear

oh! hey ya. Thanks for the response. If you need a tester, I'm here to help. I think this could a real benefit for simply sharing photos. Right now I'm using Flickr but would rather it be stored on cloudinary and then displayed on my own site.

this was my latest error.

Cheers, n

Just working with your video, I started from scratch and came up with this - https://newman5.github.io/photocloud/

I'm pretty happy I could do it. It really is simple! I'm hoping to play around with more use case for the content layer. cheers and thanks for your inspiration and help
