ladicle / tcardgen Goto Github PK

Hi, thanks for this project.
To suit my needs, I forked it to be able to deactivate certain fields. I believe other people would be happy to benefit from this. I'm not familiar with Go, so here's my commit if you'd like to cherry-pick it or if I should create a pull request in that direction, feel free to let me know !

It is a great tool for me. I created a single twitter card by specifying the MD file name specifically. And my command was like this.
tcardgen -f next.medigy.com/static/font/ \ -o news-content/ \ -t tcardgen/example/template.png \ news-content/healthtechmagazine-why-telehealth-solutions-are-vital-in-a-disaster.md

But I tried the same for multiple images creation which I have a lot of MD files in my content folder. And my command was like this.
tcardgen -f next.medigy.com/static/font/ \ -o news-content/ \ -t tcardgen/example/template.png \ news-content/*.md

And I got the following error message.

Load fonts from "next.medigy.com/static/font/"
Load template from "tcardgen/example/template.png" directory
Failed to generate twitter card for news-content.png: failed to read page content: read : The handle is invalid.

Failed to generate twitter card for news-content*.png: open news-content/*.md: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Could you please help me to resolve this issue? Please check the screenshot of the same.

Hi @Ladicle,
thanks for your work of developing this tool.

Today, I have a proposal.

Proposal

I want a feature of specifying the output file name.

So, if you set "directory" (ex. ./path/to/directory) as the value of -f option, then output image file name is default one.
On the other hand, if you set "file name" (ex. ./path/to/directory/ogp.png) as the value of -f option, then output image file name is "ogp.png".

This way is compatible.
And, of course, I accept other way.
I hope you will consider it.

Is it possible to give the template name with a .jpeg extension or is it possible to generate the output as .jpeg?
When I tried with the .png extension, the output folder size became too large. So I want to reduce the output folder size when I'm dealing with a large number of MD files.

I have installed go using brew install go and then ran go install github.com/Ladicle/tcardgen@latest. But that does not seem to make tcardgen work. I get:

> tcardgen
zsh: command not found: tcardgen

The version of go:

> go version
go version go1.19.2 darwin/amd64

What should I do to get this working on macOS?

Hi Ladicle, thanks for this amazing library!

I'm having a problem when I hit the generate command, it says "author" type of string can not convert to []interface{}

I'm putting regular string into my markdown frontmatter like this:

author: nsebhastian

Could you help me figure out what went wrong here? Thanks again!

Hi @Ladicle , Its a great tool and worked well for English content. I am having Arabic text too as description in my MD file and the image generated is having boxes in place of Arabic text. I tried by using Arabic font "Traditional Arabic" in front directory then it throws an error "Failed to load Traditional Arabic". Please help..

Hi @Ladicle,

I'm bringing the proposal again.

Proposal

I want to accept both single author and multiple one.

author = ["yyh-gl"]

↓

author = "yyh-gl"

On some hoge themes, the UIs change whether it is an array or not.
So, I have to identify A or B.

Is there any way to capture custom front-matter and display it into the template with out touching the core code? If so , How can I do that?
