how to implement gallery in HTML #36

Open vjfader opened 5 years ago

this is more of a support question than a bug. I'm new to Hugo and static sites.

I managed to add your gallery to the blog post as markdown, but can't seem to add it into one of my pages (index, about...) , for example inside a HTML, is this possible?

what is the correct way to do this?

Most likely HTML pages are not processed by Hugo. So if you need Hugo functionality (like the gallery) use Markdown files.

Could you give an example of how to add to markdown file, say about.md?

It's the same like in testblog1.md. No difference.

As long as the generated page includes your footer shortcode the gallery will work.

I tried adding this to the about.md file (see below), but I don't see any changes on the about page.

+++
title = "About"
id = "about"

some text!

{{< figure src="/img/1359007-bigthumbnail.jpg" title="Steve Francia" >}}
{{< gallery dir="/img/" />}} {{< load-photoswipe >}}
show image!!

Ah I see - your theme seems to create the about page for you with values from the configuration file. Possibly your about.md has no effect at all.
