 Themes
========

Gallery pages are created from a `Jinja2`_ template ``index.html`` that must
be located in ``THEME_DIR/templates``.

.. _Jinja2: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/

Bundled themes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sigal comes with two themes, based on the colorbox_ and galleria_ Javascript
libraries, and located in the ``sigal/themes`` folder. A Makefile is available
to concatenate and minify the css files, using cssmin_ (``pip install cssmin``).

.. _galleria: http://galleria.io/
.. _colorbox: http://www.jacklmoore.com/colorbox
.. _cssmin: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cssmin

Variables
~~~~~~~~~

You can use the following variables in your template:

``album``
    The current album that is rendered in the HTML file, represented by an
    :class:`~sigal.gallery.Album` object.  ``album.medias`` contains the list
    of all medias in the album (represented by the
    :class:`~sigal.gallery.Image` and :class:`~sigal.gallery.Video` objects,
    inherited from :class:`~sigal.gallery.Media`).

``index_title``
    Name of the index. This is either the directory name or the title specified
    in the ``index.md`` of the ``source`` directory.

``settings``
    The entire dictionary from ``sigal.conf.py``.

``sigal_link``
    URL to the Sigal homepage.

``theme.name``, ``theme.url``
    Name and url of the currently used theme.

Simpler EXIF data output
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because the tags in the ``media.raw_exif`` dictionary are a little bit
cumbersome to use, some common tags are extracted and formatted for easy use in
templates. If available, you can use:

``media.exif.iso``
    The ISO speed rating.

``media.exif.focal``
    The focal length, formatted as a decimal number.

``media.exif.exposure``
    The exposure time formatted as a fractional number, e.g. "1/500".

``media.exif.fstop``
    The aperture value given as an F-number and formatted as a decimal.

``media.exif.datetime``
    The time the image was *taken*. It is a datetime object, that can be
    formatted with ``strftime``:

    .. code-block:: jinja

        {% if media.exif.datetime %}
            {{ media.exif.datetime.strftime('%A, %d. %B %Y') }}
        {% endif %}

    This will output something like "Monday, 25. June 2013", depending on your
    locale.

``media.exif.gps``
    If not None, the dict contains two keys ``lat`` and ``lon`` denoting the
    GPS coordinates of the location where the image was taken. ``lat`` will
    always be referenced to the north pole whereas ``lon`` will be referenced to
    east to the prime meridan. To provide a link on an OpenStreetMap you could
    write a template like this:

    .. code-block:: jinja

        {% if media.exif.gps %}
            <a href="http://openstreetmap.org/index.html?lat={{
            media.exif.gps.lat }}&lon={{ media.exif.long}}">Go to location</a>
        {% endif %}
