Given an 'albums' collection, an item can be added by creating a file in the <source>/_albums
directory. Note that files not including frontmatter will be ignored.
For instance, adding a file called my_album.md
to the _albums
directory would add it to the collection:
---
title: "My Album"
---
...
Everything after the second set of three dashes is included in item.content
. Both an item's content and its front matter variables can be accessed like so:
{% for album in site.albums %}
{{ album.title }}
{{ album.content }}
{% endfor %}
If you don't wish to include any front matter variables in a collection item, two sets of three dashes are sufficient front matter to have an item included:
