Contents
Installation
First download this theme to your themes directory:
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/carpetscheme/lightspeed.git
and then enable it in your config.toml:
theme = "lightspeed"
Posts should be placed directly in the content folder.
To sort the post index by date, enable sort in your index section content/_index.md:
sort_by = "date"
Options
Title
Set a title and description in the config to appear in the site header:
title = "Different strokes"
description = "for different folks"
Footer-menu
Set a field in extra with a key of footer_links:
[extra]
footer_links = [
{url = "$BASE_URL/about", name = "About"},
{url = "$BASE_URL/atom.xml", name = "RSS"},
{url = "https://google.com", name = "Google"},
]
If you put $BASE_URL in a url, it will automatically be replaced by the actual
site URL.
Create pages such as $BASE_URL/about by placing them in a subfolder of the content directory, and specifying the path in the frontmatter:
path = "about"
SEO
SEO header tags are enabled by default. Most fields are picked up from the page data, but you can set the author and for the og:image tag provide the path to an image.
[extra]
author = "Grant Green"
ogimage = "Greenery.png"
To disable SEO set field seo in extra to false.
Sass
Styles are compiled from sass and imported inline to the header ⚡
You can overide the styles by enabling sass compilation in the config:
compile_sass = true
...and placing a replacement style.scss file in your sass folder.
Netlify
Deployed on netlify? Add a link in the footer by setting netlify in extra as true.
[extra]
netlify = true
