The settings.yml file (a.k.a. data file)allows users to set up site-wide key values using the CloudCannon interface. It also provides the ability to inject additional scripts into <head> and <body> as well as custom CSS if wanted.
The data file is set up to optimize the site build and content provided: social icons can be rendered as chat bubble icons; address, phone number and else will be output throughout the project. This is done by referencing the file using Liquid. An example:
{{site.data.settings.general.address}} will output the address provided in the data file.
Another example:
{% for menu in site.data.settings.navigation.menus %}
{% unless menu.is_dropdown %}
<a href="{{menu.url}}" class="nav-bar-menu--item {% if menu.style_as_button %}btn{% endif %}">Menu</a>
{% else %}
<button class="nav-bar-menu--item dropdown {% if menu.style_as_button %}btn{% endif %}">
Dropdown
<div class="dropdown-menu">
{% for submenu in menu.submenus %}
<a href="#" class="dropdown-menu--item">Submenu</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</button>
{% endunless %}
{% endfor %}
You must include the cookie-banner.html file and the cookie-prefs.html on the base layout and enable the cookie-settings-v2.js script for it to work.
The cookie script is GDPR-EU-compliant and stores preferences on the client-side sessionStorage. When the page is refreshed or changed, the cookie banner will re-render as per GDPR-EU requirements. You can tweak the JS file to remember preferences when refreshing, to hide the cookie banner but do it at your own discretion. sessionStorage is cleared when the tab is closed.
If required, add markup on the cookies-banner.html file and define variables on the cookie-settings-v2.js file.
The jekyll-webp plugin generates a .webp version of images inside the /assets/images folder. The plugin can be configured on the _config.yml file.
Simply add the <img> tag and add the srcset attribute to it, referencing the image's path but with the .webp extension.
Examples:
<!-- default img tag -->
<img src="/assets/images/image.jpg" srcset="/assets/images/image.webp">
<!-- using Liquid -->
<img src="{{page.image}}" srcset="{{page.image | replace: "jpg", "webp"}}">
If running into the Error: unterminated attribute selector for type error:
Run npm audit fix to restore working order.
Often, cleaning the cache by deleting the .jekyll-cache folder will also allow to run the build or serve commands
**If running into the PostCSS error Cannot load module:
Delete both node_modules and jekyll-cache folders, run npm i and then start Jekyll server with bundle exec jekyll s -l
