Image sliders on main page not working anymore?

[ottlinger]

I recently upgraded to the latest version of hugo-scroll and my image slider on the index page stopped working.

Has that feature been removed? How can I configure multiple images on my start page.

The slider integration was based on a slide.json under the data directory.
At the moment no cover image/image at all is shown on the base index page.

The video background on the main page seems to be broken, too:
Trying to enable it by providing a custom partial stops rendering with

executing "partials/custom_header_video.html" at <$videoResource.RelPermalink>: nil pointer evaluating resource.Resource.RelPermalink

PS: I took the custom_header_video.html from the exampleSite's layout/partials folder.

aye, we should prepare a github page with video cover, otherwise this get detected too late :/

Unfortunately no image is rendered on the main page anymore -
has the parameter/parameter names changed as well?

I had a look into the theme code and still saw:

• header_image "/img/slide/slide01.jpg"

The referenced file is available under /public/img/slide but just not gets rendered/shown at all.

The image itself can be rendered locally via
http://localhost:1313/img/slide/slide01.jpg but no markup is rendered containing any reference to the image.

I found a hacky workaround to get my background back ....

• define a custom_header_video and enable video rendering in _index.md
• remove all the permalink stuff (Go template part)
• link to background image in video*s poster attribute
• provide a link to a video via source that does not exist

Voila - the background is shown!

I can reproduce this issue and found that commit 4191af6 introduced this behavior. You can test it yourself quite easily:

cd themes/hugo-scroll/
git checkout a1772f49e4491e1fce510fdd21e4f3b8ebf0294c
cd ../..
hugo

a1772f4 is the commit before the multi language patch. Using 4191af6 or newer I'm unable to view the defined header_image, it's not referenced anywhere after generating the public pages.
