mattvh / jekyllgallerytag Goto Github PK

Hey thanks for the awesome plugin! I used your plugin as a template for a plugin I made that makes jpg previews of pdfs and displays them in a gallery. I would like to give you credit, and did not notice which license that this code is under. I want to respect your choice of license as this was based off your code. Here is a link to a gist containing the code. Thanks again for the plugin!

With the plugin installed, as well as the RMagick gem and ImageMagick, I still have problems getting it to work for me.

No thumbnails generated. ImageMagick runs; I have no way to verify that RMagick does the same -- but there is no thumbnail output whether I serve or build the site. I changed the gallerytag folder values in _config.yml to

    dir: media/images/
    url: /media/images/

but I'm not sure how that would mess things up. Please advise if I need to provide more information!

Only one column images displayed in the generated HTML page, despite having set a value of 4 in _config.yml. This is probably the simpler problem of the two, and just a matter of setting up CSS?

Edit: I set the thumbnail size to 200x200, but I know see that they are set to 150 square in the generated html. So I guess my _config settings are ignored altogether.

I have a Jekyll blog and it is hosted in GitHub Pages, but because GitHub Pages doesn't allow plugins, I need to create the static page where I will use your plugin and then push it into the GitHub.

I already installed the ImageMagick and RMagick, and because I didn't have _plugins folder in my Jekyll I created it, and put your galleries.rb file there. Then, in the Gemfile, I included the following line gem 'rmagick'

Afterwards, in the _config.yml file, I included these lines:

gallerytag:
dir: images/galleries
url: /images/galleries
thumb_width: 150
thumb_height: 150
columns: 4

gems: [galleries]

Finally, I made a post which uses your plugin, and when I tried to run bundle exec jekyll build, in order to build everything, I got an error message saying:

require cannot load such file -- galleries (LoadError)

If I remove the above gems: [galleries] line, and try to do the build, then I get the error message saying that the IMG_1424-thumb.JPG doesn't exist. And it doesn't exist. Simply, the plugin is not creating thumbnails when I do the build.

Any idea what the problem might be, and how to solve it?
