This version fixes such issues. - -* Icarus - -Icarus is a responsive and customizable theme for bloggers. It's a port of the same-named theme for [[//hexo.io][Hexo]] made by [[https://github.com/ppoffice][Ruipeng Zhang]]. Noteworthy features of this Hugo theme are the integration of a comment-system powered by Disqus, localization (l10n) support, syntax highlighting for source code and optional widgets for the sidebar. - -** Get the theme - -I assume you've Git installed. Inside the folder of your Hugo site run - -#+BEGIN_SRC shell - $ cd themes - $ git clone https://gitlab.com/toryanderson/hugo-icarus.git -#+END_SRC - -You should see a folder called =hugo-icarus-theme= inside the =themes= directory that we created a few moments ago. For more information read the official [[https://gohugo.io/overview/installing/][setup guide]] of Hugo. - - -** Setup - -Next, navigate to the =exampleSite= folder at =themes/hugo-type-theme/exampleSite/=. In order to get your site running, you need to copy =config.toml= and all the content of all relevant subfolders such as =data/l10n.toml= into the root folders. - -To turn the =exampleSite= folder in a standalone demo site the =themesDir= property has been set to =../..=. This way you can preview this theme by running =hugo server= inside =exampleSite= folder. - -**Due to the customized =themesDir= path Hugo will fail to find themes if you copied the =config.toml= into the root directory of a regular Hugo website.** Make sure you comment out the =themesDir= property if you use the theme in production. - - -** The config file - -Now, let us take a look into the =config.toml=. Feel free to play around with the settings. - - -*** Comments - -The optional comment system is powered by Disqus. Enter your shortname to enable the comment section under your posts. - - =disqusShortname = ""= - -Tip: you can disable the comment section for a single page in its frontmatter: - -#+BEGIN_SRC toml -disable_comments = true -#+END_SRC - -*** Menu - -You can also define the items menu entries as you like. First, let us link a post that you've written. We can do this in the frontmatter of the post's content file by setting =menu= to =main=. -#+BEGIN_SRC toml - +++ - menu = "main" - +++ -#+END_SRC - -Furthermore, we can add entries that don't link to posts. Back in the =config.toml= you'll find a section for the menus: - -#+BEGIN_SRC toml - [[params.menu]] - before = true - label = "Home" - link = "/" -#+END_SRC - -Define a label and enter the URL to resource you want to link. With =before= you can decide whether the link should appear before **or** after all linked posts in the menu. Therefore, =Home= appears before the linked post. - - -*** Sidebars - -In order to use the full width of the website you can disable the profile on the left and / or the widgets on the right for a single page in the frontmatter: - -#+BEGIN_SRC toml -+++ -disable_profile = true -disable_widgets = true -+++ -#+END_SRC - - - -*** Tell me who you are - -This theme also provides a profile section on the left. Add your social network accounts to the profile section on the left by entering your username under =social=. The links to your account will be create automatically. - - -*** Widgets - -Beside the profile section you can add widgets on the right sidebar. The following widgets are available: - -- recent articles -- category list -- tag list -- tag cloud - -You can deactivate them under =params.widgets=: - -#+BEGIN_SRC toml - [params.widgets] - recent_articles = false - categories = true - tags = true - tag_cloud = true -#+END_SRC - -*** Date line - -The date line includes: post date, * of words, approximate reading, time tags and categories. However, if you want certain pages to omit the date line, simply put =nodateline = true= in the front matter for that page. - -*** Disable Previous / next article links - -To disable the inclusion of a previous/next article link at the bottom of the page, add =noprevnext = true= to the front matter. This feature, along with =nodateline= can be used to create standalone pages that are less "blog-like" - -** Localization (l10n) - -You don't blog in English and you want to translate the theme into your native locale? No problem. Take a look in the =data= folder and you'll find a file =l10n.toml= that we've copied at the beginning. It contains all strings related to the theme. Just replace the original strings with your own. - - -** Linking thumbnails - -After creating a new post you can define a banner by entering the relative path to the image. - - banner = "banners/placeholder.png" - -This way you can store them either next to the content file or in the =static= folder. - - -** Mathematical equations - -Mathematical equations in form of LaTeX or MathML code can be rendered with the support of [[https://www.mathjax.org][MathJax]]. MathML works out of the box. If you're using LaTeX you need to wrap your equation with =$$=. - -You can also print formulas inline. In this case wrap the formula only once with =$=. - -If you don't need equations, you can disable MathJax but putting =disable_mathjax = true= in your config.toml. This will prevent clients from unnecessarily downloading the MathJax library. - - -*** Gallery shortcode - -This shortcode you to easily include a gallery into your pages. Copy the code below into your content file and enter the relative paths to your images. - - {{< gallery - "/banners/placeholder.png" - "/banners/placeholder.png" - "/banners/placeholder.png" - >}} - - -** Nearly finished - -In order to see your site in action, run Hugo's built-in local server. - - $ hugo server - -Now enter [[http://localhost:1313][=localhost:1313=]] in the address bar of your browser. - -** License -This theme is released under the MIT license.
