# Crab
|
|
|
|
Crab is a clean website theme for the [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) static
|
|
site generator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- responsive
|
|
- nested menus
|
|
- two-column
|
|
- tag support
|
|
- blog articles
|
|
|
|
## Preview
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to get a live demo of the Crab theme locally, you could
|
|
clone the repository, cd to the `exampleSite` directory and run
|
|
`HUGO_THEMESDIR=../.. hugo serve -t crab` from there (assuming
|
|
[Hugo](http://gohugo.io) is already installed).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Read the [Hugo Quickstart
|
|
Guide](https://gohugo.io/overview/quickstart/) for an introduction to
|
|
Hugo itself. Once you created a new Hugo site, you can use the Crab
|
|
theme.
|
|
|
|
In your Hugo site's folder:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/thomasheller/crab themes/crab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if your site is in a git repository, you can use git
|
|
submodules:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ git submodule add https://github.com/thomasheller/crab themes/crab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To update the theme to the latest version, simply pull in the changes:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ git -C themes/crab pull
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The file `exampleSite/config.toml` provides an example for how the
|
|
Crab theme can be configured, especially in regard to the menu items.
|
|
|
|
Once you put a `config.toml` in your site's root directory, you can
|
|
get a preview of your Hugo site as usual:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ hugo serve -t crab
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Menus
|
|
|
|
See the `exampleSite/config.toml` file for how the menus can be
|
|
configured:
|
|
|
|
- Use the `weight` attribute to specify the order of menu items.
|
|
Menu items with smaller numbers appear before those with bigger
|
|
numbers.
|
|
- For every menu, specify an `identifier` if you intend the menu to
|
|
have sub-items. In each sub-item, make sure the `parent` attribute
|
|
matches the value of the `identifier` used for the parent menu.
|
|
- Choose a unique `name` for each item in the same menu.
|
|
|
|
## Two-column layout
|
|
|
|
Look at the `exampleSite/content/home.md` file for a sidebar example.
|
|
If you put a shortcode like this at the beginning of your content
|
|
file, the summary will appear in the right column:
|
|
|
|
```md
|
|
{{% summary %}}
|
|
This appears in the sidebar. *Markdown* is supported!
|
|
{{% /summary %}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tags
|
|
|
|
Tags are supported as [taxonomies described in the Hugo
|
|
manual](https://gohugo.io/taxonomies/usage/). Make sure your config
|
|
file contains a proper `taxonomies` declaration, like in the
|
|
`exampleSite/config.toml`. You can then put tags in the front matter
|
|
as usual:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
+++
|
|
title = "A Page With Tags"
|
|
tags = [ "Hugo", "theme", "Crab" ]
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Tags will appear both on regular (fixed, static) pages as well as for
|
|
blog posts, although they are probably more commonly used with blog
|
|
posts.
|
|
|
|
## Blog
|
|
|
|
Blog posts are intended to be created in the special directory
|
|
`/blog/`. The main difference about blog articles is that the layout
|
|
includes the timestamp when they were published (fixed pages don't
|
|
show a timestamp by default) and that they appear in the list of blog
|
|
articles.
|
|
|
|
The `exampleSites/config.toml` shows the kind of `permalinks`
|
|
declaration required to generate blog posts in the correct place.
|
|
|
|
## Logo
|
|
|
|
To change the logo of the crab to your own customised image,
|
|
add `logoimage` to `config.toml`, where `logoimage` is the
|
|
path inside your site's `static` directory.
