How Portfolio Images Work

The portfolio page (_pages/portfolio.html) displays items in three categories based on filename prefixes:

• Category 1 (Atmospheric): Files 000-199
• Category 2 (ML/Estimation): Files 200-299
• Category 3 (Miscellaneous): Files 900-999

Each category block is clickable and shows a modal with thumbnail grids. The thumbnails are extracted from the excerpt field in each portfolio file’s frontmatter using this logic:

  <div class="no-image">No plot available</div>

Google Drive Migration (COMPLETED ✅)

All Google Drive image links have been successfully migrated to local storage!

What Was Done

1. Created placeholder images: Two 800x600 grayscale PNG files created as temporary placeholders
   • images/4_bases_decomposition.png
   • images/ensemble_gp.png
2. Updated portfolio files: Changed image paths from Google Drive to local
   • _portfolio/100_4_bases.html → /images/4_bases_decomposition.png
   • _portfolio/200_ensemble_conditional_gp.html → /images/ensemble_gp.png
3. Created helper tools:
   • download_google_drive_images.sh - Automated script to download real images
   • MANUAL_IMAGE_DOWNLOAD.md - Manual download instructions

Benefits

• ✅ No external dependencies on Google Drive
• ✅ Faster page load times (no external requests)
• ✅ More reliable (no authentication or rate limiting issues)
• ✅ Full control over image assets

Optional: Replace Placeholders

The placeholder images are functional grayscale images, but you can replace them with the actual images:

Option 1 - Automated (requires internet access):

./download_google_drive_images.sh

Option 2 - Manual: See MANUAL_IMAGE_DOWNLOAD.md for step-by-step instructions to:

1. Download images from Google Drive
2. Upload to the repository
3. Verify they display correctly

Image Upload Issues

The problem statement mentioned “Something went really wrong, and we can’t process that file” when uploading to /images/.

Common causes:

1. File size over 100MB
2. Invalid file names (spaces, special characters)
3. Binary file corruption
4. Browser/network issues

Solutions:

• Use Git CLI instead of web interface
• Ensure files are under 100MB
• Use standard formats (JPG, PNG, GIF)
• See images/README.md for detailed troubleshooting

Testing

To verify these changes work correctly:

1. View the portfolio page: Navigate to the /portfolio/ page on your GitHub Pages site
2. Click each category block: All three should open modals showing portfolio items
3. Check thumbnails: Each item should display a thumbnail image (not “No plot available”)
4. Click items: Each item should link to its full detail page

Security Scan Results

✅ CodeQL scan completed with no security issues found.
