Postcraft Images

This should be a little thing...

Markdown format is :

![alt text](https://hyperdata.it/images/raw-data_320x480.png)

The markdown lib I'm using should understand that :

I'd better check relative URLs :

![alt text](../images/not-an-image.png)

Looking good. That gets rendered as :

<img src="../images/not-an-image.png" alt="alt text">

So now, image locations. I must have set up a folder or something...yup. Of the form :

danny.ayers.name/media/images/2024-08/

I'd better check how I've got the paths when sent to the server...

danny.ayers.name/public/home/index.html

Ok, what if I copy the dir to :

danny.ayers.name/public/home/media/images/2024-08/

(The public/home seems like an unnecessary bit of path, but I'll leave that for now).

Hmm. There are some semi-untested bits here. I guess safest is to copy application :

/home/danny/github-danny/transmissions/src/applications/postcraft
->
/home/danny/github-danny/transmissions/src/applications/postcraft-beta

Ok,

./run postcraft ../postcraft/danny.ayers.name

worked.

Next, look back how I did application src/applications/file-copy-remove-test

In transmission.ttl there's :

:s4 a :FileCopy ;
    trm:configKey :copyStartToSeveralEmpty .

In services.ttl there's :

t:copyStartToSeveralEmpty a trm:ServiceConfig ;
    trm:key t:copyStartToSeveralEmpty ;
    trm:source "data/start" ;
    trm:destination "data/several-empty" .

Hmm. The paths are relative to the application, ie. on my local machine in :

/home/danny/github-danny/transmissions/src/applications/file-copy-remove-test/data

I need them to be relative to the target of the postcraft-beta application, ie.

/home/danny/github-danny/postcraft/danny.ayers.name

That should be going in the message somewhere. Time for a little probe, in:

/home/danny/github-danny/transmissions/src/applications/postcraft-beta/transmission.ttl

Lol, fool danny, I'm already using FileCopy :

:postTemplating a trm:Pipeline ;
    trm:pipe (:s00 :s10 :s11 :s12 :s20  :s30 :s40  :s50 :s60 :s70 :s80 :s90 :s100
                :s110 :s120 :s130 :s140 :s150  :s160 :s170 :s180) .

:s00 a :DatasetReader . # read the manifest
# trm:configKey trm:describe .

### Copy layout dirs
:s10 a :FileCopy ;
    trm:configKey :cssCopy .

In

/home/danny/github-danny/transmissions/src/applications/postcraft-beta/services.ttl

there is:

t:copyCSS a trm:ServiceConfig ;
    trm:key t:cssCopy ;
    trm:source "layouts/mediocre/css" ;
    trm:destination "public/home/css" .

So let me try adding an entry for the media dir as above.

:postTemplating a trm:Pipeline ;
    trm:pipe (:s00 :s05 :s10 :s11 :s12 :s20  :s30 :s40  :s50 :s60 :s70 :s80 :s90 :s100
                :s110 :s120 :s130 :s140 :s150  :s160 :s170 :s180) .

:s00 a :DatasetReader . # read the manifest
# trm:configKey trm:describe .

### Copy media dirs
:s05 a :FileCopy ;
    trm:configKey :mediaCopy .

### Copy layout dirs
:s10 a :FileCopy ;
    trm:configKey :cssCopy .

...

t:copyMedia a trm:ServiceConfig ;
    trm:key t:mediaCopy ;
    trm:source "media" ;
    trm:destination "public/home/media" .

I'll stick an image in the media source dir, and then:

![Claudio Grouse Hunting](media/images/2024-08/claudio-grouse-hunting.jpeg)

and maybe...

Yay!

But the image is cropped. Can you specify scale in markdown? No wait, would be better to do in CSS, make it responsive.

So in danny.ayers.name/layouts/mediocre/css/style.css:

img {
  max-width: 100%;
  height: auto;
}

Double-yay!!!

This is exactly how #Transmissions is meant to work. Maximum reuse, minimum thought/effort.

postcraft application moved to postcraft-previous, postcraft-beta move to postcraft.

Job done.
