4 years ago Hi @judsonlmoore ,
I'm very sorry for the late answer. I don't use Jekyll anymore and have little time for my numerous pet projects like this one.
I think I have a similar issue as what is described here, so will add a comment instead of starting a new topic.
I think your issue is not related to @k16e-me 's.
He's trying to use the Liquid tag in a page, but it unfortunately works only in posts.
I've been trying to use this (awesome!) plugin to transform images in the page templates with Cloudinary. I've tried a wide array of implementation options including the below:
{% cloudinary page.image alt="{{ page.title }}" %}{% cloudinary { page.image } alt="{{ page.title }}" %}{% cloudinary {{ page.image }} alt="{{ page.title }}" %}
It looks like you try to use the Liquid tag with an image that you define in Front Matter, which is not supported either. But is a different feature.
Interestingly, the page.title attribute is supported and does properly print the page title into the alt tag.
I guess this is because Jekyll processes site variables (such as {{ page.* }}) before Liquid tags:

However, the tag for the page.image without brackets simply inserts that text at the end of the cloudinary url with this error:
I guess then {% cloudinary {{ page.image }} … should work too, I'll have to investigate why it doesn't.
[Cloudinary] Couldn't find this image to check its width: /Users/judmoore/github/judsonlmoore.com/_posts/travel/destinations/ireland/page.imag.Note that the "e" is missing at the end of page.image. Not sure why.
This might help me track the issue, thanks for noticing.
Questions
1. Is there a currently-supported proper way to do what I am aiming to accomplish?
I'm not sure, I'll try to fix this and document an official way.
2. Might this be supported soon?
Soon, I'm not sure, as I have to install the whole Ruby/Jekyll stuff again on a computer.
I'll do my best.
3. Any other recommendations for handling non-post-content images with cloudinary?
Did you try using absolute URLs for the image?
`{% cloudinary https://example.com/path/to/the/image.jpg alt="…" %}
