authors

[vahidtakro]

hello, authors yaml file is no longer working/removed.

That's right @vahidtakro, use the config instead https://github.com/onweru/hugo-swift-theme/blob/462712b575341639e7a465857ed66c27578de30b/exampleSite/config.toml#L18-L23

[vahidtakro]

Thanks for this amazing theme, and fast reply. The other questions in my mind is that can I use staticman on my own server and not Github servers? if yes how? if not, what other alternative can I use? and how can I add post meta to the single post? like date of publish, author, etc on the top.

I added these to my config.toml but I still can't see the author.

on my post :

---
title: "About this blog"
date: 2021-03-11T12:45:28Z
draft: false
author: "Dani Hazler" // also tried name

Thanks for your help

Thank you; this is helpful. So what you need to do, is ensure that the author name you're including in your article is listed under the authors' block. In you case, it would looks something like:

...
[[params.authors]]
    name = "yourName" # can be nickname # if fullName 👇🏻 isn't set, name will be displayed on author card
    fullName = "Dani Hazler"
    bio = "It's time to flex. Write a short or not-so-short summary about yourself."
    photo = "author_placeholder.png"
    url = "https://myURLofChoice.domain
...

Notice the value of fullName has changed to your name. Makes sense?

If you do not want to display your full name on the article. your can optionally fill in the name field, like so:

[[params.authors]]
    name = "Hazler" # or name = "Dani"
    bio = "It's time to flex. Write a short or not-so-short summary about yourself."
    photo = "author_placeholder.png"
    url = "https://myURLofChoice.domain
