# Prosopopee
More or less a small clone of exposure.co in form of a static generator. For
those of you who don't know what exposure.co is, this more or less allows you
to organise you picture in a way that more or less tell a story.
You can find example usages here:

* http://outside.browny.pink
* http://such.life
# Why?
I wanted to learn a bit of advanced css and I wanted to self-host my data.
## Requirements
Installation needs Python, pip and virtualenv
apt-get install python-pip python-virtualenv
Gallery building needs graphicsmagick library
apt-get install graphicsmagick
## Installation
1. Create a virtualenv, and activate it
```
virtualenv ve
source ve/bin/activate
```
2. Download and install Prosopopee
```
pip install prosopopee
```
## Files organisation
The files organisation is quite simple:
* in the root directory of your project you need a settings.yaml file that will contains the title and subtitle of your gallery
* for each gallery you'll need a folder that also contains a settings.yaml file that will describe how to display the content on your gallery
* and you put the pictures of the gallery inside the gallery folder
### Root settings.yaml
The root settings.yaml should contains 2 keys : one for the title of your website and one for the subtitle. It should looks like that:
```yaml
title: My exploration of the outside world
sub_title: it's a scary place, don't go there
```
#### Menu
It is possible to add a menu to your homepage that links to static pages. To do so, add a `menu` key to your `settings.yaml`, for example:
```yaml
menu:
name: "About"
type: "page"
url: "about"
- name: "My first gallery"
type: "folder"
url: "first_gallery"
- name: "Twitter"
type: "external"
url: "http://twitter.com"
```
You can use 3 type of item in the menu:
* page
* folder
* external
For page, the url is the files (without the `.yaml`)
For folder, the url is the name of the folder (like first_gallery in exemple)
And for the external, the url is the full url of the website. You can
use it too for make home in the menu.
So, here, you'll need to create a ``about.yaml`` files in the root directory.
Their content are similar to galleries (see [bellow](#gallery-settingsyaml)).
For example, this could be the content of `about.yaml`:
```yaml
title: "About"
sections:
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
```
### Gallery settings.yaml
This settings.yaml will describe:
* the title, subtitle and cover picture of your gallery that will be used on the homepage
* the tags is optional
* if your gallery is public (if not, it will still be built but won't appear on the homepage)
* the date of your gallery: this will be used on the homepage since **galleries are sorted anti chronologically** on it
* the list of sections that will contains your gallery. A section will represent either one picture, a group of pictures or text. The different kind of sections will be explained in the next README section.
Here is an example:
```yaml
title: Gallery title
sub_title: Gallery sub-title
date: 2016-01-15
cover: my_cover_picture.jpg
tags:
- #yolo
- #travel
sections:
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
text:
title: Big picture title
sub_title: Some text
date: 2016-01-15
- type: pictures-group
images:
-
- image1.jpg
- image2.jpg
- image3.jpg
-
- image4.jpg
- image5.jpg
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
- type: bordered-picture
image: another_picture.jpg
```
And here is an example or a **private** gallery (notice the public
keyword):
```yaml
title: Gallery title
sub_title: Gallery sub-title
date: 2016-01-15
cover: my_cover_picture.jpg
public: false
sections:
- ...
```
### Different kind of sections
A gallery is compose of a succession of sections as you can on this [wonderfully
totally uninteresting example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/) the gallery is
composed of 5 sections:
* a full screen picture with text written on it
* a picture with with borders around it
* a group of 5 pictures
* and a fullscreen picture without text on it this time
In your settings.yaml, a section will **always** have a type
key
that will describe its kind and additional data. Underneath, the
type
key is actually the name of an HTML template and the other
data will be passed to this template.
You can find all the sections templates here: https://github.com/Psycojoker/prosopopee/tree/master/prosopopee/templates/sections
You often have an image
key. You need to give it a path to the
actual file. By convention, those files are put inside your gallery folder but
this is not mandatory.
#### Full Screen picture with OR without text on it
This display a full screen picture as shown in the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/) in the first
and last sections. How you should use it:
With text:
```yaml
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
text:
title: Big picture title
sub_title: Some text
date: 2016-01-15
```
Without text:
```yaml
- type: full-picture
image: big_picture.jpg
```
#### Bordered picture
This display a centered picture that is surrounded by white (the background) as
shown in the second position of the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/).
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: bordered-picture
image: another_picture.jpg
```
#### Group of pictures
This display a group of zoomable pictures on one or multiple lines as shown on
the forth position (after the text) of the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/).
```yaml
- type: pictures-group
images:
-
- image1.jpg
- image2.jpg
- image3.jpg
-
- image4.jpg
- image5.jpg
```
Every sublist (the first level -
represent a line).
**Know bug**: the images are left aligned, so if you don't put enough images on
a line, you'll have white space on the right.
#### Text
This display some centered text as shown on the third position of the [example
gallery](http://psycojoker.github.io/prosopopee/first_gallery/). HTML is
allowed inside the text.
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: text
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
```
#### Paragraph
This display a h2 title followed by text. HTML is allowed inside of the text.
If not title is declared, a separator is added.
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: paragraph
title: the title
text: Some text, HTML is allowed.
```
#### HTML
This section is for raw html that will be centered (for example: inlining an OSM iframe).
How to use it:
```yaml
- type: html
html: some html stuff
