Extending the file pattern example about templer

[skx]

Unfortunately this isn't directly supported. It is close to being supported, but due to a bug it fails - I'll report that and fix it shortly.

The best I could do is fix the bug, then write this:

     files: file_glob( "*.jpg*" )
     ----
     This is a simple image-gallery:

    <!-- tmpl_loop name='files' -->
        <!-- tmpl_if name='width' -->
            <img src= "<!-- tmpl_var name='file' -->" width="<!-- tmpl_var name='width' -->" height="<!-- tmpl_var name='height' -->">
        <!-- /tmpl_if -->
        <!-- tmpl_if name='contents' -->
             <p><!-- tmpl_var name='contents' --></p>
        <!-- /tmpl_if -->
     <!-- /tmpl_loop -->

This relies upon the FileGlob.pm behaviour which I'd forgotten about:

• If a glob matches an image and you have Image::Size available then the variables width and height will be populated.
  • Here we use that to wrap an "if" around the image.
• If the glob does not match an image, and does not match the templer suffix, then the contents are available as content - but this is a bug, becaues the same name is used in the layout.
  * I've just updated the code to use contents instead.

The files here are:

    deagol ~/x $ ls -1 input/
    17635184_10212309877612942_91544094097573559_o.jpg
    17635184_10212309877612942_91544094097573559_o.jpg.caption
    18278724_10155384183372342_4594716052523220387_o.jpg
    18278724_10155384183372342_4594716052523220387_o.jpg.caption
    index.skx

So the glob here matches "*.jpg*" which half the time is an image, and half the time is a caption.

OK bug fixed - the example above should now work if you update to include the commit I just made, but this is a bit terrible, so you might prefer to write a plugin instead :)

I might have a try at a plugin then, and if I can't make it work try the "terrible" way :)

Thanks for the rapid reply! I guess I'll close this as it seems a plugin is the "official" way to do it.
