It will load a maximum of 40 images.
A sample data.js data file is included in the package.
This file contains the relative location of the images, and all caption information about them.
This file should be placed in ~/Documents/AMNH/postcards/.
With each revision of this file, new images should be copied to a new folder (beginning with opening) such that if a parse error is detected, the old data file and images will be maintained.
To update the images in the viewer:
First, duplicate the data.js file, and create a new folder in the assets folder.
before:
after:
Then, update the "basepath" variable in the data.js file. Then for each card, paste in the values for each element as indicated in the graphic below. The "path" variable should be the exact filename of the file in the new folder you created in assets (in this case, the files should be in "press".
Before submitting the data file, you can validate it using a free online tool, JSONLint.
Copy and paste the content of the file into JSONLint and click Validate. If it results in "Valid JSON", then the file looks good and should be ready to update the gallery interactive.
