Using gallery with non-top level baseURL about hugo-easy-gallery HOT 9 CLOSED

As a temporary workaround, I inserted the following into gallery.html

{{ $siteURL := .Site.BaseURL }}

[snip]

   {{- $linkURL := print $siteURL "/" ($.Get "dir") "/" .Name | absURL }}<!-- absolute URL to hi-res image -->
   {{- $thumbURL := print $siteURL "/" ($.Get "dir") "/" $thumb | absURL }}<!-- absolute URL to thumbnail image -->

It works, although not sure if it isn't a little "hacky"...

Thanks @tcwilkinson, this is an oversight on my part.

Probably more efficient to do something like

{{ $imgBaseURL := print .Site.BaseURL "/" ($.Get "dir") "/" }}

[snip]

   {{- $linkURL := print $imgBaseURL .Name | absURL }}<!-- absolute URL to hi-res image -->
   {{- $thumbURL := print $imgBaseURL "/" ($.Get "dir") "/" $thumb | absURL }}<!-- absolute URL to thumbnail image -->

I'm not in front of the correct computer for me to test this, so feel free to get something working and then submit a PR.

@liwenyip Tried your patch for this problem as I have a documentation site that runs in a sub-folder of server root. it looks as if the patch works for the background URLs in "gallery from folder" mode, but does not fix "gallery from list" which suffers from the same problem.

Unfortunately I don't have time just now to triage this properly, but I'm sure you know your code well enough to spot why this is happening.

Thanks @jbrice

I'm also kinda busy at the moment; so I'll add it to my to-do list. But I'd be very happy for someone else to fix and submit a PR in the meantime.

Happy to put some time to it, and have had a go but "retired hurt" as I am a newcomer to Hugo/golang template coding and finding your code somewhat cryptic, probably as a result of that.

I have been unable to find much in-depth documentation or "power user" examples of Hugo template coding. Are there any resources you would recommend?

@jbrice the Hugo documentation covers basics, and is improving all the time.

For more complicated questions, post/search in https://discourse.gohugo.io/

Good luck!

Thank you!

Am making progress. However from a newcomers point of view a lot of the documentation looks great, but in practice feels as if it has been written by people who are much too familiar with the topic they are writing about. And https://discourse.gohugo.io/ is full of great nuggets but needs a lot of excavation to get to many of them.

@liwenyip
The mists are clearing and I think that the fix is fairly simple. I have found that the best (only?) way to use the current version of Hugo (V0.25.1) in a sub-folder of the server is to create the site with baseURL set to the full path (domain plus path) to the site's root folder plus canonifyURLs = true. Hugo then automatically prepends all asset URLs beginning with "/" with the baseURL string, thus essentially doing the job of the additional code you suggested a short while ago (but on a site-wide basis).

However this URL completion is not foolproof and does not seem to process urls in CSS backgrounds in this way, including the one on line 13 of the current version of figure.html. So I have proposed a simple change that I have found to work OK on a non-server-root test site, when used along with an appropriate baseURL and canonifyURLs = true set in the config.
