# 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/DandyDev/pelican-bootstrap3.git`
Then:
Point the `THEME` variable in your `pelicanconf.py` to `/path/to/pelican-bootstrap3`
## 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
If you want to add custom css to the theme, without having to clone and maintain your own version of the theme, you can use the `CUSTOM_CSS` variable. The value is the location where you tell Pelican to put the file (see below):
```
CUSTOM_CSS = 'static/custom.css'
```
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 'extra/custom.css' to the output dir
STATIC_PATHS = ['images', 'extra/custom.css']
# Tell Pelican to change the path to 'static/custom.css' in the output dir
EXTRA_PATH_METADATA = {
'extra/custom.css': {'path': 'static/custom.css'}
}
```
### 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**
To remove the sidebar entirely, set `HIDE_SIDEBAR` to _True_.
### 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](http://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](http://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`
* `GITHUB_SKIP_FORK`
* `GITHUB_SHOW_USER_LINK`
### 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` (defualt) 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).
### Tipue Search
This theme has support for the
[Tipue Search plugin](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/tree/master/tipue_search).
All you have to do, is:
- enable the plugin, and the theme will add a search box on the right
side of the menu
- Add `'search'` to the `DIRECT_TEMPLATES` in your `pelicanconf.py`. E.g. `DIRECT_TEMPLATES = ('index', 'categories', 'authors', 'archives', 'search').
By default, the Tipue search page is configured at "/search.html", but you can override that with the `SEARCH_URL`
setting, which comes in handy if you have fancy rewrite rules in your Apache or Nginx configuration.
### 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
