It's fully responsive. Bootstrap 3 has seen an official, final release now, so +I don't expect any breaking changes anymore. I will try to keep it up-to-date. + +## CONTRIBUTING + +If you want to adjust this theme to your own liking, I 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 _Readable_. 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. + +#### Update: Readable has seen some major changes. I added the new version as 'readable' and renamed the old version to 'readable-old'. Update your config accordingly. + +### 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. + +### 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`. + +### 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') + +### 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'),) +``` +* **Tags** will be shown if `DISPLAY_TAGS_ON_SIDEBAR` is set to _True_. Normally, tags are shown as a list. + * Set `DISPLAY_TAGS_INLINE` to _True_, to display the tags inline (ie. as tagcloud) +* **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. + +### 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`. + +### 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. + +## Live example + +[This is my website](http://dandydev.net) + +If you want more examples of what you could do with this theme, have a [look here](EXAMPLES.md). + +## Screenshot + +![](screenshot.png) + +![](screenshot-article.png) + + |
