# Hugo Bootstrap v4 Blog [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog)
A simple [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) theme based on the [Bootstrap v4 blog example](http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/examples/blog). Opinionated and geared towards blog-style content.

![Screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/master/screenshot.png "Screenshot")

See [picturingjordan.com](https://picturingjordan.com) for an example of this theme in use.

## Features

- Responsive design
- Uses Bootstrap v4's [native system fonts](http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/content/reboot/#native-font-stack) to load quickly and look good on all platforms
- Basic [OpenGraph](http://ogp.me) and [Twitter Card](https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types) metadata support
- robots.txt linking to XML sitemap (disabled by default, see [Hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/extras/robots-txt/))
- Basic support for [multi-lingual content](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/blob/master/docs/content/content/multilingual.md) (added in Hugo 0.17)
- Supports Google, Bing, and Yandex site verification via meta tags
- Supports Google Analytics (async version), see [Hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/extras/analytics/)
- Supports Disqus comments, see [Hugo docs](https://gohugo.io/extras/comments/)
- Can show a message about cookie usage to the user, see [`exampleSite/config.toml`](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml)
- Allow addition of custom `<head>` code in site's `layouts/partial/head-custom.html` (see [#17](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/pull/17))

## Usage
Clone the repository to your site's `themes` directory. Refer to [`exampleSite/config.toml`](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml) for recommended configuration values.

## Content Suggestions
A few suggestions to help you get a good looking site quickly:

- Keep blog posts in the `content/post` directory, for example: `content/post/my-first-post.md`
- Keep static pages in the `content` directory, for example: `content/about.md`
- Keep media like images in the `static` directory, for example: `static/2016/10/screenshot.png`
- If you want an image to be shown when you share a post on social media, specify at least one image in the post's front matter, for example: `images: ["/2016/10/screenshot.png"]`
- Use the `<!--more-->` tag in posts to control how much of a post is shown on summary pages
- Disable comments on a post by setting `comments = false` in its frontmatter
- Disable social sharing icons site wide (or on individual pages/posts) by setting `sharingicons = false`
- If your content is stored in git, add `enableGitInfo = true` to your site config and Hugo will use git history to set a more accurate modification date in page metadata

See the source code and structure of [picturingjordan.com](https://github.com/alanorth/picturingjordan.com) to get more ideas.

## Building (For Developers)
This theme uses the [Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) framework. A static version of this is already included, but if you want to bump the version, tweak the style, etc, you'll need to rebuild the assets. Make sure you have NodeJS >= v6 installed, and then run the following from inside the theme's directory:

```console
$ npm install
$ npm run build
```

## Contributing
There are several ways to help with the development of the theme:

- [Open an issue](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/issues/new) on GitHub if you have problems or feature requests
- Alternatively, tackle one of the [existing issues](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/issues) on the issue tracker
- Fork [the repository](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog) on GitHub, add features on a "feature" branch like `update-bootstrap`, and then send a [pull request](https://github.com/alanorth/hugo-theme-bootstrap4-blog/compare) with your changes

README.md: Change wording about config.toml to "recommended" The theme really needs some config options in order to look decent, so I will change the wording here from "optional" to "recommended". Hopefully some users actually read this rather sparse readme, as there have been several GitHub issues opened due to misconfigured sites. 2017-01-08 23:32:37 +01:00			Clone the repository to your site's `themes` directory.
