This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history. Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

| Adding a showcase on freesewing.org | editors |
These are the steps required to add a new showcase to the website:
- Create a new folder in the
org/showcasedirectory of our markdown repository - Add an
en.mdmarkdown file to this folder - Add one of more images to the folder
- Add the frontmatter to the file
- Add the body of the file
Let's look at each step in detail:
Create a new folder for the showcase
Our markdown repository holds all content for both freesewing.org and freesewing.dev.
The content for showcases on freesewing.org is in the org/showcase folder.
You'll find a bunch of directories here for all the existing showcases. Create a new one keeping in mind that this will determine the URL under which the showcase is available. So:
- No spaces
- No uppercase
- Stick to
a-zand-to be safe
Add an en.md file to the folder
Create an empty file in this folder and name it en.md.
Add one of more images to the folder
Add the images you want to use to the folder.
We prefer if you use lowercase for all filenames
Add the frontmatter
Frontmatter is metadata that we add to the top of the file. Please refere to working with frontmatter is you're not sure how to use it.
The following fields need to be filled in:
| Name | Description |

Must be in format YYYY-MM-DD |
title |
Title of the showcase |
img |
Filename of the main image. Must be placed in the folder of the showcase |
caption |
The caption that will go below the image |

An array of designs/patterns that are being showcased. Lowercase only |
