[[trail]] and [[transient]] plugins. The [[meta]] plugin is also
recommended.
-## Changing the templates
-
-When a viewer page is generated or inlined into an album, the template can
-contain these extra variables:
-
-* `<TMPL_VAR ALBUM>` - page name of the album
-* `<TMPL_VAR ALBUMURL>` - relative URL to the album
-* `<TMPL_VAR ALBUMTITLE>` - title of the album, usually taken from
- a [[ikiwiki/directive/meta]] directive
-* `<TMPL_VAR CAPTION>` - caption for the image
-* `<TMPL_VAR THUMBNAIL>` - a small [[ikiwiki/directive/img]] for the image
-* `<TMPL_VAR IMAGEWIDTH>` - width of the full-size image in pixels
-* `<TMPL_VAR IMAGEHEIGHT>` - height of the full-size image in pixels
-* `<TMPL_VAR IMAGEFILESIZE>` - size of the image, e.g. `1.2 MiB`
-* `<TMPL_VAR IMAGEFORMAT>` - format of the image, typically `JPEG`
-
-The template for the viewer page can also contain:
+## Demo
-* `<TMPL_VAR IMG>` - a large [[ikiwiki/directive/img]] to display the image
-* `<TMPL_VAR PREV>` - a link to the previous viewer, typically with a
- thumbnail
-* `<TMPL_VAR NEXT>` - a link to the next viewer, typically with a
- thumbnail
+* [HTML page of thumbnails](http://ikialbum.hosted.pseudorandom.co.uk/album/)
+ as an entry point to the album
+* Each thumbnail links to
+ [a "viewer" HTML page](http://ikialbum.hosted.pseudorandom.co.uk/album/img_0120/)
+ with a full size image, optional next/previous thumbnail links, and
+ optional [[plugins/comments]]
-## Including album entries elsewhere
+### Altered Demo
-To display images from elsewhere in the wiki with the same appearance as
-an [[ikiwiki/directive/album]] or [[ikiwiki/directive/albumsection]],
-you can use an [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] with the `albumitem`
-template:
+[[!template id=gitbranch branch=cbaines/album]]
+This uses the album plugin, with some altered css, and with the css applied to
+all of the themes.
- \[[!inline pages="..." sort="-age" template="albumitem"]]
+* [Simple album, rendered using mutiple themes](http://cbaines.net/projects/ikiwiki/album/dest/basic)
+ using the ikiwiki logo.
