# author_images
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This Pelican plugin adds support for author images and avatars. You may choose
|
||
|
|
to display one or the other.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Configuration
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add the directory to the base plugins directory to `PLUGIN_PATHS` in
|
||
|
|
`pelicanconf.py`, and then add `author_images` to the `PLUGINS` list. For example,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PLUGIN_PATHS = ["../git/pelican-plugins"]
|
||
|
|
PLUGINS = ['author_images']
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also configure the directory for the author images and avatars. Note
|
||
|
|
that both of these directories should exist in your theme, inside the static
|
||
|
|
directory. This feels like the best way to approach this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AUTHOR_AVATARS = 'images/author_avatars'
|
||
|
|
AUTHOR_IMAGES = 'images/author_images'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Adding images
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now you can place images and avatars into the correct places. The location for
|
||
|
|
these is `THEME / THEME_STATIC_DIR / AUTHOR_AVATARS`. For instance,
|
||
|
|
`strudel/static/images/author_avatars` for my particular setup. Note that in
|
||
|
|
this case, `strudel` is my theme.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Naming images
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Images have to named correctly for the plugin to find them. Currently, this
|
||
|
|
means you need to take a `sha256` of the authors name. The extension of
|
||
|
|
the file can be one of `svg`, `jpg`, `jpeg` or `png`. For instance, my name is
|
||
|
|
William Pettersson, so I can run
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python -c 'import hashlib; print hashlib.sha256("William Pettersson").hexdigest()'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
to get the hash sum of my name. Then I just rename my images or avatars to have
|
||
|
|
that name, but with the appropriate extension. For simplicity, there is a
|
||
|
|
`generate_hashsum.py` which can also be used as follows
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
python generate_hashsum.py "William Pettersson"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which prints out
|
||
|
|
`a40249517dfaf4e83264ced7d802c9fe9b811c8425b1ce1b3e8b9e236b52fa3e`. This means
|
||
|
|
my files have to be named
|
||
|
|
`a40249517dfaf4e83264ced7d802c9fe9b811c8425b1ce1b3e8b9e236b52fa3e.png`, or
|
||
|
|
`a40249517dfaf4e83264ced7d802c9fe9b811c8425b1ce1b3e8b9e236b52fa3e.jpg` or
|
||
|
|
similar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Using in themes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These images and avatars are made available to themes through the
|
||
|
|
`author.avatar` and `author.image` variables.
