Making the theme "Hugo" Friendly
dudil opened this issue · comments
Hi @SteveLane ,
Thank you for this project - It is very good skin in terms of design and simplicity.
However, the current way to setup the themes is strictly through config.toml which is not very Hugo friendly (adding text / items is really hard work).
I already modified that largely on my own project, but this will break the current implementation.
Let me know if you wish me to create a pull request or just preferred me to keep my own branch.
Cheers,
Dudi
Hi Dudi,
I'd love to take a look at what you've done, so a pull request would be great.
Sorry - I've moved into another theme but might be still to help.
@carneybill - can you elaborate what blogging capability are you looking for?
@dudil On the Hugo site (https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-icon/), it mentioned: "add blogging capability" under To Do. I'm new but can't figure out how to create a blogging tab/new post. I was unsure if @SteveLane or you might have addressed it?
@carneybill I haven't addressed it yet, but it would be useful, so I opened it as a to do. Here's what I think would need to be done:
- add another partial for latest blog posts
- apply appropriate css classes - I think using something like the classes in the
missionpartial would work - paginate the blog posts within that single page section
- create new single blog post template
- link each item to that single post
So, there's a bit of infrastructure needed before blogging can be added. (I didn't set the theme up with the intention of blogging straight away).
@SteveLane - Even though I’ve moved to another theme, I’ll be happy to assist.
I have solid understanding of Hugo and can help with building it up. Will need more help with CSS etc.
Also would love to add support for localization.
Is that fine?
@dudil for sure! If you want to help out, that'd be great. This is not a high priority for myself.
