How to make an image grid

1

I am using TiddlyWiki as a backup to my Instagram account. This is how I have the tiddlers formatted:

created: 20231119031328660
modified: 20231119031352665
tags: image
title: instagram-20200228.jpg

<$macrocall $name="ximg" image={{!!title}}/>
Fake Jazz noise in Vancouver BC

What I would like to do is create a tiddler showing a grid based on a filter that would show all of the images without having to open them one by one. For example, all photos in 2020 would be [prefix[instagram-2020]]

Maybe there is already a plugin or perhaps I need to change how I format my Instagram image tiddlers.

You could try Macy though it has some niggles when pictures are slow to load or there are animations involved.

The code would look a bit like this:

<$macy>
<$list filter="[prefix[instagram-2020]]" variable="img">
<div class="item-container">
<$image source=<<img>>  class="item" />
</div>
</$list>
</$macy>

You could also avoid Macy and just use the list widget as above and use CSS to control the image sizes.

I’m already using your Spotlight plugin and this is great addition - thanks.

I was wondering if I could alter the number of columns displayed and after copying the whole code into my wiki to experiment, I noticed that this section:

<$macy columns="6" breakAt="1300:5:15:15 940:3:10:10 520:2:5:5 400:1:1:1">

didn’t appear to be doing anything as the display remained the same if it was cut out and changed to:

<$macy columns>

Please ignore - apparent behaviour due to wiki not being refreshed… and changing the column number gives desired result. This is great - thanks!
