ZOLA.386 is a theme that refers to the 90s, but with cutting edge features to be fast and responsive. ## Installation The easiest way to install ZOLA.386 is to clone this repository and build your site upon it: ```bash $ git clone https://github.com/lopes/zola.386 ``` Of course you can install it just as another theme for your site, but ZOLA.386 must be added as a module: ```bash $ cd themes $ git submodule add https://github.com/lopes/zola.386 ``` ## Configuration Configuration is mainly done in `config.toml` and here I'll describe the main topics. ### Global `config.toml` starts with the global variables. All of these items are important, but it is fundamental to create two taxonomies at least: ```toml taxonomies = [ {name="categories", rss=true}, {name="tags", rss=true}, ] ``` Remember that all descriptions (`config.description` and `page.description`) are shown on the index page, one at the header and the others through the body. ### Extras ZOLA.386 comes with a lot of extra variables which eases the creation and maintenance of the site, so it's important to review all of them after installing the theme. The `zola386_menu` composes the navbar and is created by setting up a `path`, which will be appended to the `base_url` and the `name` will appear on the navbar. ```toml zola386_menu = [ {path="/", name="Home"}, {path="categories", name="Categories"}, {path="tags", name="Tags"}, {path="about", name="About"}, ] ``` ### Social ZOLA.386 is also prepared to deal with Google Analytics, Disqus, and Twitter --[Open Graph Protocol](https://ogp.me/) is welcome. This theme is prepared to use the output of [Favicon Generator](https://www.favicon-generator.org/), to do so, you'll just need to download the output of that site and extract in `static/images`. As said, Disqus is supportted, but besides setting the username in `config.toml`, you also must to put a `comments = true` extra option on the pages where Disqus will be enabled --this gives you the freedom to enable or disable comments on certain posts. You can use the extra option `image` on each page, to represent that post. ### Animations All JavaScript animations can be set at `static/js/zola386.js`. Basically you can disable all animations, use one or two scans, and change the scan speed. Personally, I prefer only one scan with a speed factor of 5. ### Language Under the `label_` variables, you can set names to better localize your site. Note that you can change the language of a single page, by using `page.extra.lang`, which causes `` to change only on that page. A theme to provide information for its owner and SEO-friendly. ### Search Search was implemented according to the [official documentation](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/content/search/). It uses JavaScript to search on an indexed version of the site based on `search_index.LANG.js`, `elasticlunr.min.js`, and `search.js` --the first two are generated after each build. If you're running your site in other default language other than English, you **must** change the `search_index.LANG.js` line in `index.html`, setting up `LANG` accordingly. ### Other files The `content\_index.md` file must be properly configured to provide better experience. Check out this file for more information. The 404 page is almost hardcoded, so you must edit it directly. ## License This theme is released under the MIT license.
