Having writing on top of photo in Gallery and being able to click on it and write an explanation of project

I’m currently using the “Cohub” Theme (GitHub - StaticMania/hugo-cohub). In the exampleSite (GitHub - StaticMania/hugo-cohub), there are four photos in a gallery, and I’m wondering how I would create a gallery for projects vs photos, so it would be great to be able to write over photos I choose and then have those expand and be able to explain the projects in greater depth. I’ve looked through the config.toml file and the .yml file where the images are stored as well as the blog layout further down (which does have a click feature where it takes you to another page), but I can’t figure out where I would look for what I want. Can someone point me in the right direction? Will continue looking through different themes to see if there’s one I could borrow from.

Thanks!

Just following up on this if anyone can offer any advice!

That would be a question for the theme author…

Okay, thanks, that was the insight I was looking for.

So there’s not a way that I can open up html code, explore what’s doing what, and then add some html code to get the effect I want? It’s something that would have to go through the theme author?

How would I contact the theme author? I have his Git, but don’t see any contact info…is there a way you can find theme authors through Hugo?

Create an issue:
https://github.com/StaticMania/hugo-cohub/issues

Sure you can, but theme author is the best source of information and guidance.

Awesome…thanks so much! Just created an issue. I looked through some Hugo books…that was taking forever because I didn’t really know what I was looking for.

Hi all,

So I created an issue on git on May 2nd and unfortunately still haven’t heard back from the authors. Would it be an arduous route to learn what I need to make this happen? Are there code specific terms for what I’m trying to do?

Thanks,

James

It’s not an issue though is it, yours is a feature request. The theme author provides a contact method for feature requests and technical support: GitHub - StaticMania/hugo-cohub

Would it be an arduous route to learn what I need to make this happen?

If you are not familiar with html and css already then yes, I think it would be.

The template for the home page is this file “hugo-cohub/layouts/index.html at master · StaticMania/hugo-cohub · GitHub

You can add your text here or in one of the called templates: ex. in gallery.html

HTH, I’m not the theme author
