# feather
|
|
A lightweight theme for zola
|
|
|
|
Feather is a blog theme specifically designed for the static site generator [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/). It's as far as
|
|
I know the first theme for the platform that isn't a port or just contained within template files.
|
|
|
|
Feather is *not* intended for anything other than blogs.
|
|
|
|
# Developing & Contributing
|
|
Because feather comes with example content, you can run the theme just like any Gutenberg
|
|
blog with `zola serve`. Your changes will autoreload!
|
|
|
|
## Considerations
|
|
Please don't edit the `content` folder directly for your own blog, use it as a theme like
|
|
intended!
|
|
|
|
# Usage
|
|
Using feather is easy. Install [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/) and follow
|
|
[the guide for creating a site and using a theme](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/themes/installing-and-using-themes/). Then,
|
|
add `theme = "feather"` to your `config.toml` file.
|
|
|
|
If you intend to publish your site to Github Pages, please check out [this tutorial](http://vaporsoft.net/publishing-gutenberg-to-github/).
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
Zola allows themes to [define `[extra]` variables](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/configuration/)
|
|
in the config. Here's a full list of theme variables with example values and comments.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[extra]
|
|
# specify an image for the big header at the top of the page.
|
|
# this will be a background cover image, so make it large enough
|
|
# so that it won't upscale enough to pixelate
|
|
feather_header_image = "/theme_images/default.gif"
|
|
|
|
# if you want comments, add your disqus embed code here.
|
|
# you can obtain a code on the disqus website.
|
|
feather_disqus_code = "<div id='disqus_thread'></div><script> var disqus_config = ... etc ... etc ..."
|
|
|
|
# if you'd like people to be able to donate to you, you can include a donate link
|
|
# to be displayed in the footer of the website.
|
|
feather_donate_link = "https://paypal.me/piedoomy"
|
|
|
|
# if you want analytics, add your tracking code HTML here.
|
|
feather_analytics = "<script async src='https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/... etc ... etc ..."
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
Feather also provides several features optional.
|
|
|
|
- [x] Categories page
|
|
- [x] Tags page
|
|
- [x] Sorting chronologically
|
|
- [x] Comments
|
|
- [x] Analytics
|
|
- [x] Donate links
|
|
|
|
## Using Categories and Tags
|
|
In order to use categories and tags, you'll need to enable their compilation by adding the following lines to your `config.toml`
|
|
(make sure they aren't under `[extra]`):
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
generate_categories_pages = true
|
|
generate_tags_pages = true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
