# pelican-bootstrap3
|
|
|
|
This is a Bootstrap 3 theme for Pelican, originally developed by
|
|
[DandyDev](https://github.com/DandyDev). It's fully responsive and contains
|
|
sub-themes from the Bootswatch project. Pelican-bootstrap3 is compatible with
|
|
Pelican 3.3.0 and higher.
|
|
|
|
## CONTRIBUTING
|
|
|
|
If you want to adjust this theme to your own liking, we encourage you to fork
|
|
it. This theme has started to gather more and more attention in the form of
|
|
stars and forks. If you make improvements that are useful to others and can
|
|
make the theme better in general **please don't hesitate to make a pull
|
|
request**. For contributing guidelines, [look here](CONTRIBUTING.md)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
First:
|
|
|
|
`git clone https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-themes.git`
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
Point the `THEME` variable in your `pelicanconf.py` to
|
|
`/path/to/pelican-bootstrap3` and add
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
JINJA_ENVIRONMENT = {'extensions': ['jinja2.ext.i18n']}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to your Pelican configuration, as this template can be
|
|
translated (see `Translations` below). You also
|
|
need to activate a plugin that initializes the i18n jinja extension. One
|
|
possibility is an up to date version of the
|
|
[`i18n_subsites`](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/i18n_subsites)
|
|
plugin:
|
|
|
|
`PLUGIN_PATHS = ['/path/to/git/pelican-plugins']`
|
|
`PLUGINS = ['i18n_subsites']`
|
|
|
|
If you are using
|
|
[`i18n_subsites`](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/i18n_subsites)
|
|
and you are not using English as default language (`DEFAULT_LANG`) for your
|
|
site, make sure to also correctly specify the default language of the theme
|
|
(English):
|
|
|
|
`I18N_TEMPLATES_LANG = 'en'`
|
|
|
|
Otherwise the translations will not be used on your default site.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
This theme honors the following standard Pelican settings:
|
|
|
|
* Putting feeds in the `<head>` section:
|
|
* `FEED_ALL_ATOM`
|
|
* `FEED_ALL_RSS`
|
|
* Template settings:
|
|
* `DISPLAY_PAGES_ON_MENU`
|
|
* `DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_ON_MENU`
|
|
* `MENUITEMS`
|
|
* `LINKS` (Blogroll will be put in the sidebar instead of the head)
|
|
* Analytics & Comments
|
|
* `GOOGLE_ANALYTICS` (classic tracking code)
|
|
* `GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UNIVERSAL` and `GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_UNIVERSAL_PROPERTY` (Universal tracking code)
|
|
* `DISQUS_SITENAME`
|
|
* `PIWIK_URL`, `PIWIK_SSL_URL` and `PIWIK_SITE_ID`
|
|
|
|
It uses the `tag_cloud` variable for displaying tags in the sidebar. You can
|
|
control the amount of tags shown with: `TAG_CLOUD_MAX_ITEMS`
|
|
|
|
## Extras
|
|
|
|
### Bootswatch and other Bootstrap 3 themes
|
|
|
|
Part of the versatility of this theme comes from the fact that I included all
|
|
the lovely Bootstrap 3 themes from [Bootswatch](http://bootswatch.com/), built
|
|
by [Thomas Park](https://github.com/thomaspark). You can tell Pelican what
|
|
Bootswatch theme to use, by setting `BOOTSTRAP_THEME` to the desired theme, in
|
|
lowercase (ie. 'readable' or 'cosmo' etc.). My own site is using _Simplex_. If
|
|
you want to use any other Bootstrap 3 compatible theme, just put the minified
|
|
CSS in the `static/css` directory and rename it using the following naming
|
|
scheme: `bootstrap.{theme-name}.min.css`. Then update the `BOOTSTRAP_THEME`
|
|
variable with the _theme-name_ used.
|
|
|
|
### Article info
|
|
|
|
Set `SHOW_ARTICLE_AUTHOR` to True to show the author of the article at the top
|
|
of the article and in the index of articles. Set `SHOW_ARTICLE_CATEGORY` to
|
|
show the Category of each article. Set `SHOW_DATE_MODIFIED` to True to show the
|
|
article modified date next to the published date.
|
|
|
|
### Custom CSS/JS
|
|
|
|
If you want to add custom css/js to the theme, without having to clone and
|
|
maintain your own version of the theme, you can use `CUSTOM_CSS` and `CUSTOM_JS` variables.
|
|
The value is the location where you tell Pelican to put the file (see below):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CUSTOM_CSS = 'static/css/custom.css'
|
|
CUSTOM_JS = 'static/js/custom.js'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To tell Pelican to copy the relevant file to the desired destination, add the
|
|
path to `STATIC_PATHS` and the destination to `EXTRA_PATH_METADATA`, like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Tell Pelican to add files from 'extra' to the output dir
|
|
STATIC_PATHS = [
|
|
'images',
|
|
'extra'
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
# Tell Pelican to change the path to 'static/custom.css' in the output dir
|
|
EXTRA_PATH_METADATA = {
|
|
'extra/custom.css': {'path': 'static/css/custom.css'},
|
|
'extra/custom.js': {'path': 'static/js/custom.js'}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Pygments
|
|
|
|
You can choose the syntax highlighting style by using the `PYGMENTS_STYLE`
|
|
variable to specify one of the built-in Pygments styles. By default the
|
|
`native` style is used. The following styles are avaiable:
|
|
|
|
- autumn
|
|
- borland
|
|
- bw
|
|
- colorful
|
|
- default
|
|
- emacs
|
|
- friendly
|
|
- fruity
|
|
- manni
|
|
- monokai
|
|
- murphy
|
|
- native
|
|
- pastie
|
|
- perldoc
|
|
- solarizeddark
|
|
- solarizedlight
|
|
- tango
|
|
- trac
|
|
- vim
|
|
- vs
|
|
- zenburn
|
|
|
|
For a demo of the different Pygment styles, have a look [here](http://pygments.org/demo/218030/)
|
|
|
|
### Pagination
|
|
|
|
Pelican-Bootstrap3 follows the standard Pagination settings of Pelican and uses
|
|
the Bootstrap3 [Pagination
|
|
component](http://getbootstrap.com/components/#pagination), but you can
|
|
optionally use the Boostrap3 _Pager_ by setting `USE_PAGER` to `True`.
|
|
|
|
### Bootstrap fluid layout
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to use the fluid container layout from Bootstrap, set the flag
|
|
`BOOTSTRAP_FLUID` to _True_.
|
|
|
|
### Site Brand
|
|
|
|
You can provide a logo for your site using `SITELOGO`. For example: `SITELOGO =
|
|
'images/my_site_logo.png'`. You can then define the size of the logo using
|
|
`SITELOGO_SIZE`. The `width` of the `<img>` element will be set accordingly.
|
|
|
|
By default the `SITENAME` will be shown as well. It's also possible to hide the site name using the `HIDE_SITENAME` flag.
|
|
|
|
### Breadcrumbs
|
|
|
|
It's possible to show breadcrumbs in your site using the `DISPLAY_BREADCRUMBS`
|
|
flag. By default the article category isn't shown in the breadcrumbs, if you
|
|
wish to enable it, set the `DISPLAY_CATEGORY_IN_BREADCRUMBS` flag to _True_.
|
|
|
|
### Navbar
|
|
|
|
If you wish to use the inverse navbar from Bootstrap, set the flag `BOOTSTRAP_NAVBAR_INVERSE` to _True_.
|
|
|
|
### Related Posts
|
|
|
|
This theme has support for the [Related Posts
|
|
plugin](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/related_posts).
|
|
All you have to do, is enable the plugin, and the theme will do the rest.
|
|
|
|
### Series
|
|
|
|
This theme supports the [Series
|
|
plugin](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/series). If
|
|
you enable the plugin you will find in the footer the links to the previous and
|
|
next articles in the series.
|
|
|
|
You may customize the header of this list setting the `SERIES_TEXT` variable,
|
|
which can also include the `index` and `name` variables. The first is the index
|
|
of the current article in the series (starting from 1) and the second is the
|
|
name of the series. The default string is `Part %(index)s of the %(name)s
|
|
series`.
|
|
|
|
You may display on the sidebar the link to the previous and next article in the
|
|
series setting `DISPLAY_SERIES_ON_SIDEBAR` to `True`.
|
|
|
|
You may display information on the series just under the article title setting
|
|
`SHOW_SERIES` to `True`.
|
|
|
|
### IPython Notebook support
|
|
|
|
This theme supports including IPython notebooks through the [Liquid Tags
|
|
plugin](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/liquid_tags).
|
|
If you enable the plugin, the theme will automatically include the right CSS/JS
|
|
to make the notebooks work.
|
|
|
|
### Favicon
|
|
|
|
Set the `FAVICON` option in your `pelicanconf.py`. For example: `FAVICON =
|
|
'images/favicon.png'`
|
|
|
|
### Index page
|
|
|
|
* If `DISPLAY_ARTICLE_INFO_ON_INDEX` is set to _True_, article info (date,
|
|
tags) will be show under the title for each article, otherwise only title and
|
|
summary will be shown (default).
|
|
|
|
### Short menu labels for pages
|
|
|
|
By default, the title of a page is used both for showing the title as
|
|
part of a page's content, and, if pages in menu is enabled, as the
|
|
label of the corresponding menu item. You can choose a different label
|
|
for the menu (such as a short single word) than the page title by adding a
|
|
Menulabel metadata attribute to the page header (`Menulabel:` in
|
|
markdown, `:Menulabel:` in rst).
|
|
|
|
### About Me
|
|
|
|
You can show a short blurb of text about yourself and a picture. The following two settings are used for this:
|
|
|
|
* Your 'About Me' paragraph will be whatever the `ABOUT_ME` variable is set to (raw html is allowed)
|
|
* Your avatar can be set by pointing the `AVATAR` variable to the relevant picture (e.g. 'images/profile.png')
|
|
|
|
### Banner Image
|
|
|
|
A banner image can be added to the theme, displayed with the SITENAME and an optional subtitle. Config options are as follows:
|
|
|
|
* Set the banner image with `BANNER = '/path/to/banner.png'`
|
|
* Set the subtitle text with `BANNER_SUBTITLE = 'This is my subtitle'`
|
|
* By default, the banner is only shown on the index page. To display the banner on all pages, set `BANNER_ALL_PAGES = True`
|
|
|
|
### Sidebar options
|
|
|
|
The following things can be displayed on the sidebar:
|
|
|
|
* **Social links** can be provided through the `SOCIAL` variable. If it's empty, the section will not be shown
|
|
* In your `pelicanconf.py` provide your social links like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SOCIAL = (('twitter', 'http://twitter.com/DaanDebie'),
|
|
('linkedin', 'http://www.linkedin.com/in/danieldebie'),
|
|
('github', 'http://github.com/DandyDev'),
|
|
('stackoverflow', 'http://stackoverflow.com/users/872397/dandydev', 'stack-overflow')
|
|
```
|
|
The first string in each item will be used for both the name as shown in the sidebar, and to determine the [FontAwesome](http://fontawesome.io/icons/)
|
|
icon to show. You can provide an alternative icon string as the third string (as shown in the _stackoverflow_ item).
|
|
* **Tags** will be shown if `DISPLAY_TAGS_ON_SIDEBAR` is set to _True_ and the [tag_cloud](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/tag_cloud) plugin is enabled. Normally, tags are shown as a list.
|
|
* Set `DISPLAY_TAGS_INLINE` to _True_, to display the tags inline (ie. as tagcloud)
|
|
* Set `TAGS_URL` to the relative URL of the tags index page (typically `tags.html`)
|
|
* **Categories** will be shown if `DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_ON_SIDEBAR` is set to _True_
|
|
* **Recent Posts** will be shown if `DISPLAY_RECENT_POSTS_ON_SIDEBAR` is set to _True_
|
|
* Use `RECENT_POST_COUNT` to control the amount of recent posts. Defaults to **5**
|
|
* **Archive** will be shown if `DISPLAY_ARCHIVE_ON_SIDEBAR` is set to _True_ and `MONTH_ARCHIVE_SAVE_AS` is set up properly.
|
|
* **Authors** will be shown if `DISPLAY_AUTHORS_ON_SIDEBAR` is set to _True_
|
|
|
|
Other sidebar related options include:
|
|
|
|
* To remove the sidebar entirely, set `HIDE_SIDEBAR` to _True_.
|
|
* To move the sidebar to the left, set `SIDEBAR_ON_LEFT` to _True_.
|
|
* To turn off inlined icons in the titles set `DISABLE_SIDEBAR_TITLE_ICONS` to
|
|
_True_.
|
|
|
|
### Padded, Single Column Content Style
|
|
|
|
The main body of the pages will be generated centered and with padding on the sides when `PADDED_SINGLE_COLUMN_STYLE` is set to `True`.
|
|
|
|
The values in `HIDE_SIDEBAR`, `ABOUT_ME`, and ` AVATAR` are ignored when `PADDED_SINGLE_COLUMN_STYLE` is set to `True`. This means that none of the sidebar content will be rendered.
|
|
|
|
Use of the `PADDED_SINGLE_COLUMN_STYLE` can be seen at [droun.in](https://droun.in/). Note that the example blog is utilizing a modified [Bootstrap/Bootswatch configuration](https://github.com/digitalrounin/bootswatch/tree/drounin/drounin) with [custom CSS](https://droun.in/css/custom.css).
|
|
|
|
### reStructuredText styles
|
|
|
|
If you're using reStructuredText for writing articles and pages, you can include the extra CSS styles that are used by the `docutils`-generated HTML by setting `DOCUTIL_CSS` to True. This can be done as a global setting or setting it in the metadata of a specific article or page.
|
|
|
|
### Disqus comments
|
|
|
|
* This theme sets identifiers for each article's comment threads. If you are switching from a theme that doesn't (such as the Pelican built-in default) this will result in existing comments getting lost. To prevent this, set DISQUS_NO_ID to _True_.
|
|
* Set DISQUS_ID_PREFIX_SLUG to _True_ if you have configured your article URLs such that the slug alone will likely not be unique. Ignored if DISQUS_NO_ID is _True_.
|
|
* You can also enable Disqus comments for pages. This is a per-page setting you can control by adding a field `comments` to you pages' metadata. Set it to _enabled_ to enable comments for that page. Comment-threads for pages will have an id that is prefixed by 'page-'.
|
|
* To show Disqus comment counts on the index page, set DISQUS_DISPLAY_COUNTS to _True_.
|
|
|
|
### Content license
|
|
|
|
You can optionally declare a [Creative Commons license](https://creativecommons.org) for the content of your site. It will appear in the site's footer. To enable, use one of the following two ways for configuration.
|
|
|
|
* To choose the license by name, set `CC_LICENSE` to the common abbreviated name of the license: `"CC-BY"` (require attribution), `"CC-BY-SA"` (require ShareAlike), `"CC-BY-ND"` (NoDerivatives) , `"CC-BY-NC"` (require attribution, no commercial reuse), `"CC-BY-NC-SA"` (require ShareAlike, no commercial reuse), or `"CC-BY-NC-ND"` (NoDerivatives, no commercial reuse).
|
|
* Alternatively, choose the licence by features:
|
|
* `CC_LICENSE_DERIVATIVES` - `"yes"` if permitted, `"no"` if not permitted, and `"ShareAlike"` if derivatives must be shared under the same terms.
|
|
* `CC_LICENSE_COMMERCIAL` - `"yes"` if commercial reuse is permitted, and `"no"` otherwise.
|
|
* Optionally, you can include attribution markup in the license mark by setting `CC_ATTR_MARKUP` to _True_.
|
|
|
|
The license choice mirrors the [Creative Commons License Chooser](https://creativecommons.org/choose/). Source for the macro that renders the mark is at http://github.com/hlapp/cc-tools.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you want to use another license type, you can instead use the `CUSTOM_LICENSE` property to set a license string that will be showed at the bottom of every page.
|
|
Raw HTML is allowed.
|
|
As `CC_*` variables take precedence, be sure to avoid `CC_*` variables when using `CUSTOM_LICENSE`.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to use the WTFPL license, you can set:
|
|
`CUSTOM_LICENSE='Unless otherwise stated, all articles are published under the <a href="http://www.wtfpl.net/about/">WTFPL</a> license.'`
|
|
|
|
### GitHub
|
|
|
|
The theme can show your most recently active GitHub repos in the sidebar. To enable, provide a `GITHUB_USER`. Appearance and behaviour can be controlled using the following variables:
|
|
|
|
* `GITHUB_REPO_COUNT`: An integer representing the number of repos to display (sorted by modification date, descending)
|
|
* `GITHUB_SKIP_FORK`: Either `'false'` [default] or `'true'`. If `'true'`, exclude forked repositories from display in the sidebar.
|
|
* `GITHUB_SHOW_USER_LINK`: If undefined [default], don't show a link to the `GITHUB_USER`'s user page. If defined, show it.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Boolean values will _not_ work here! They will be interpreted as literal strings by JS, so instead use `'true'` and `'false'`
|
|
|
|
### Facebook Open Graph
|
|
|
|
In order to make the Facebook like button and other social sharing options work better, the template contains Open Graph metatags like `<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>`. You can disable them by setting `USE_OPEN_GRAPH` to _False_. You can use `OPEN_GRAPH_FB_APP_ID` to provide a Facebook _app id_.
|
|
You can also provide a default image that will be passed as an Open Graph tag by setting `OPEN_GRAPH_IMAGE` to a relative file path, which will be prefixed by your site's base url. Optionally, you can override this default image on a per article and per page basis, by setting the `og_image` variable in an article or page.
|
|
|
|
### Twitter Cards
|
|
|
|
The theme supports [Summary Twitter Cards](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/types/summary-card). To activate the necessary tags set `TWITTER_CARDS` to `True`. Because _Twitter Cards_ also use Open Graph tags to identify some of the necessary metadata, `USE_OPEN_GRAPH` must also be set to `True` (which is the default).
|
|
|
|
You can optionally provide a `TWITTER_USERNAME` which will be used to set the Twitter username for the site and for the content creator.
|
|
|
|
The same image options for Open Graph (see above) can be used for setting images that appear on Twitter Cards. So if you have set an `OPEN_GRAPH_IMAGE` and optionally `og_image` for articles and/or pages, you're good to go for Twitter Cards as well.
|
|
|
|
### Twitter Timeline
|
|
|
|
The theme can show your twitter timeline in the sidebar. To enable, provide a `TWITTER_USERNAME` and a `TWITTER_WIDGET_ID`.
|
|
|
|
To get a `TWITTER_WIDGET_ID`, go to: https://twitter.com/settings/widgets and select `Create new`. You'll find the TWITTER_WIDGET_ID under the html or in the site url:
|
|
|
|
`https://twitter.com/settings/widgets/TWITTER_WIDGET_ID/edit`
|
|
|
|
### AddThis
|
|
|
|
You can enable sharing buttons through [AddThis](http://www.addthis.com/) by setting `ADDTHIS_PROFILE` to your AddThis profile-id. This will display a **Tweet**, **Facebook Like** and **Google +1** button under each post.
|
|
|
|
* AddThis automatically adds a short hashtag to the end of your URLs. This lets you reveal how often visitors copy your URL from their address bar to share. Example of URL: `http://domain.com/page.html#UF0983`. This function can be disabled by setting `ADDTHIS_DATA_TRACK_ADDRESSBAR` to _False_.
|
|
* All social buttons are enabled by default. You can disable certain button by setting following properties to _False_: `ADDTHIS_FACEBOOK_LIKE`, `ADDTHIS_TWEET`, `ADDTHIS_GOOGLE_PLUSONE`.
|
|
|
|
### Shariff
|
|
|
|
As an alternative, you may use [Shariff](https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff) by setting `SHARIFF = True`. This will display the privacy enabled social media buttons developed by [heiseonline](https://github.com/heiseonline).
|
|
|
|
* By default, `data-url` is set to the URL of the current article.
|
|
* To customize the social media buttons, set
|
|
* `SHARIFF_BACKEND_URL` (see [Shariff Backends](https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff#backends))
|
|
* `SHARIFF_LANG` (`de` (default), `en` or `fr`)
|
|
* `SHARIFF_ORIENTATION` (`horizontal` (default) or `vertical`)
|
|
* `SHARIFF_SERVICES` (default: `["facebook","googleplus"]`)
|
|
* `SHARIFF_THEME` (`standard` or `gray`)
|
|
* `SHARIFF_TWITTER_VIA` (`True`/`False`, uses `TWITTER_USERNAME`)
|
|
|
|
For a detailed description of each setting, refer to [data attributes](https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff#options-data-attributes) description at the [Shariff README](https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff).
|
|
|
|
### Flattr
|
|
|
|
This theme has support for linking your domain with [Flattr](https://flattr.com). To enable this provide your `FLATTR_ID`. Be aware that you will also have to go [Flattr's domain settings](https://flattr.com/settings/domains) and link your domain.
|
|
|
|
### Footer
|
|
|
|
The footer will display a copyright message using the AUTHOR variable and the year of the latest post. If a content license mark is enabled (see above), that will be shown as well.
|
|
|
|
### Sidebar Images
|
|
|
|
Include a series of images in the sidebar, with an optional header:
|
|
|
|
SIDEBAR_IMAGES_HEADER = 'My Images'
|
|
SIDEBAR_IMAGES = ["/path/to/image1.png", "/path/to/image2.png"]
|
|
|
|
Originally developed for including certification marks in your sidebar. E.g.,
|
|
|
|
http://dmark.github.io
|
|
|
|
### Translations
|
|
|
|
This template can be translated using pybabel and the enclosed Makefile. See
|
|
