# ── Gallery Structure ──────────────────────────────────────────────
# This file defines WHICH albums and subpages are shown.
# Global settings (theme, map, legal, title) now live in content/settings.yaml.

# Hero images for the homepage carousel (Immich asset UUIDs)
hero:
  - "your-asset-uuid-1"
  - "your-asset-uuid-2"

# Standalone albums (shown on the home page)
#
# Photo order inside an album: by default a Folio album mirrors the Immich
# timeline. The optional `sort` key lets the portfolio order differ from the
# archive order, without changing anything in Immich.
#
#   immich    Default. Inherits the album's own asc/desc setting in Immich.
#             This is capture-time order — Immich does not expose the drag
#             order from its web UI, so Folio cannot reproduce that.
#   newest    Capture time, newest first, whatever Immich is set to.
#   oldest    Capture time, oldest first.
#   filename  originalFileName, natural order (IMG_2 before IMG_10).
#             Matches scanned-film and camera-export workflows.
#   manual    Pinned photos first, in the order given by `assetOrder`;
#             everything else follows in the album's Immich order. Far easier
#             to set in /admin, which has a drag & drop editor for it.
#
# Two things worth knowing:
#   • On a subpage with several albums, `sort` orders photos *within* each
#     album — the albums themselves stay in the order they are listed in.
#   • Lightbox permalinks (#photo-3) are positional, so changing an album's
#     sort moves where a previously shared link lands.
#
# `sort` works the same on subpage and section albums, shown further down.
albums:
  - "your-album-uuid-1" # no sort key → Immich order, exactly as before
  - "your-album-uuid-2":
      sort: filename # an entry may carry only a sort, with no title override
  - "your-album-uuid-3":
      title: "Hokkaido, in sequence"
      sort: manual
      assetOrder: # pinned, in this order. Everything else follows automatically.
        - "asset-uuid-opening-frame"
        - "asset-uuid-second-frame"

# Subpages: group albums under custom URL paths.
# One `subpages:` key for the whole file — every page below is one entry in it.
subpages:
  # Simple form: a name and its albums.

          #   Offer the original file from the lightbox for this album.
          #   Off everywhere by default, and opt-in per album on purpose: a
          #   public portfolio should not start handing out full-resolution
          #   originals because one client gallery needed to.
          #   The download route checks the allowlist, this switch, the
          #   album's password and that the asset really belongs to the
          #   album, so an edited URL cannot reach anything else.
          #
          # zoom: false
          #   1:1 zoom in the lightbox for this album, overriding the subpage
          #   and `zoom` in settings.yaml in either direction. Applies where
          #   this entry is: the same album on another page keeps its own.
          #
          # location: city
          #   How precisely this album's photographs may be placed — on the
          #   map, and in the info panel of the viewer, which names the city
          #   and country of each photo.
          #     exact    (default) the mean of the photographs' own coordinates
          #     city     rounded to 0.05° — roughly 5 km, city still named
          #     country  rounded to 1° — roughly 100 km, only the country named
          #     hidden   no marker on the map, and no place in the info panel
          #   Worth setting for an album shot in one place — a garden, a
          #   studio, a client's home, a fragile site — where the mean of the
          #   coordinates is that place, and the marker stands on the property.
          #   May also be set once on a subpage, where it applies to every
          #   album on it unless the album says otherwise.
          #   Where one marker merges several albums, the most cautious of
          #   them governs the whole marker. A photograph that is in several
          #   albums likewise follows the most cautious of them.

  # ── Subpage with Sections ────────────────────────────────────────
  # Use sections to group albums by location, theme, or any other logic.
  # A typographic table of contents is rendered above the albums.
  # Sections are optional: leave them out and you get a flat album grid (as above).

  # ── Photo Essay / Storytelling Subpage Example ───────────────────
  # Render editorial Markdown essays with fullbleed & side-by-side images.
  #
  # essayFile is a SLUG, not a path: "sample-story" resolves to
  # content/journal/sample-story.md (or content/essays/sample-story.md).
  # Slashes and dots are rejected. Copy the shipped template to get started:
  #   cp content/journal/sample-story.md.example content/journal/sample-story.md
  #
  # Leave essayFile out and keep `layout: essay`, and the essay is generated
  # from the albums below — one heading per album, followed by its photos.
  # See docs/journal.md for the Markdown block syntax.

  # ── Content Page in the Menu ─────────────────────────────────────
  # A timeless text page (pricing, workshops, FAQ) lives in
  # content/pages/<slug>.md and is served at /<slug>. Listing it here puts it
  # in the header menu at this position; leave it out and the page is still
  # reachable at its URL, just not in the menu. Create and edit pages under
  # Admin → Pages. See docs/gallery-config.md#content-pages.
