Adding image to publication list about wowchemy-hugo-themes

[gcushen]

Hi

As briefly mentioned at the end of the Publications section of the latest README (https://github.com/gcushen/hugo-academic/blob/master/README.md ), the image variables are just place holders for now.

However, I have already developed this new functionality for my own website (but not uploaded this new code to my public website yet).

One issue I was considering before also committing it to hugo-academic is how to deal with inconsistency. Most websites utilizing images in lists, do so for all items in the list of publications (and blog articles), like your link also appears to do. The website formatting might not look too good if some posts/publications have images and others do not.

For publications in particular, I am leaning towards keeping the simple list view available and adding a global variable to enable a more detailed list view if desired, which would include short abstract, image, authors, etc.

Hi

Thanks for developing the theme. Thank you also for reverting back promptly.

I agree that the simple list view is nice. It is just that in some areas (Vision, Graphics), it is attractive to add an image in the list. People notice the image and are inclined to read the abstract.

For the inconsistency, one approach could perhaps be to have a placeholder image (default avatar) that would be used for those publications that do not have an image or a flag whether the site creator wants to use the image module in list or not.

These features have now been added in commit f06857f .

You can add an image = "my-image.jpg" option to the page +++ preamble to enable displaying an image in publication, post, and project page headers. It will automatically assume that the image is located in your static/img/ folder.

Secondly, you can enable the detailed publication list on the homepage by setting detailed_list = true under [params.publications] in config.toml.

The README documentation and example content will be updated to reflect this shortly.

Let me know if you have any other feedback!
