Okay, I'll try to make it short.
I got an XML file from Musicbrainz. Then I converted it to CSV and replaced the .
's with _
's to make it work with Liquid.
I put music.csv
in _data
and call it with:
{% include music.html %}
_includes/music.html
looks (in part) like:
<table border="1" style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Artist</td>
<td>Track title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
{% if member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_0_recording_artist-credit_name-credit_artist_name %}
<td>{{ member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_0_recording_artist-credit_name-credit_artist_name }}</td>
{% endif %}
{% if member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_0_recording_title %}
<td>{{ member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_0_recording_title }}</td>
{% endif %}
</tr>
<tr>
{% if member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_1_recording_artist-credit_name-credit_artist_name %}
<td>{{ member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_1_recording_artist-credit_name-credit_artist_name }}</td>
{% endif %}
{% if member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_1_recording_title %}
<td>{{ member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_1_recording_title }}</td>
{% endif %}
</tr>
<tr>
{% if member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_2_recording_artist-credit_name-credit_artist_name %}
<td>{{ member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_2_recording_artist-credit_name-credit_artist_name }}</td>
{% endif %}
{% if member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_2_recording_title %}
<td>{{ member.release_medium-list_medium_track-list_track_2_recording_title }}</td>
{% endif %}
</tr>
Now, clearly, this is not the best way to do it. What I'm after is something that:
- Looks for the relevant data
- If the data is there, creates the cells and fills them out.
I'm pretty sure this can be done with Liquid, but I have no idea how. Can someone here help?
EDIT: Turns out I forgot the CSV file -- here it is, on Pastebin.
EDIT 2: This Cheat Sheet might be of help!
