pelican-bootstrap3
This is a Bootstrap 3 theme for Pelican. It's fully responsive. Bootstrap 3 is still in RC state as of now, so expect changes as the Bootstrap 3 codebase matures. I will try to keep it up-to-date.
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_ATOMFEED_ALL_RSS
- Template settings:
DISPLAY_PAGES_ON_MENUDISPLAY_CATEGORIES_ON_MENUMENUITEMS
- Analytics & Comments
GOOGLE_ANALYTICSDISQUS_SITENAME
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
Categories are disabled by default because I don't use them myself. If you want to show them in the sidebar, uncomment the relevant section in includes/sidebar.html
Extras
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_COUNTGITHUB_SKIP_FORKGITHUB_SHOW_USER_LINK
Bootswatch
I included all the lovely Bootstrap 3 themes from Bootswatch, built by Thomas Park. You can tell Pelican what Bootswatch theme to use, by setting BOOTSWATCH_THEME to the desired theme, in lowercase (ie. 'readable' or 'cosmo' etc.). My own site is using Readable.
AddThis
You can enable sharing buttons through AddThis by setting ADDTHIS_PROFILE to your AddThis profile-id. This will display a Tweet, Facebook Like and Google +1 button under each post.
Facebook Open Graph
In order to make the Facebook like button 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 to Facebook for the homepage of you site by setting OPEN_GRAPH_IMAGE to a relative file path, which will be prefixed by your site's static directory.
