-This is a Bootstrap 3 theme for Pelican. 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
@@ -23,16 +30,126 @@ This theme honors the following standard Pelican 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`
* `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`
-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
+### 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
+
+For a demo of the different Pygment styles, have a look [here](http://pygments.org/demo/218030/)
+
+### 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.
+
+### Favicon
+
+Set the `FAVICON` option in your `pelicanconf.py`. For example: `FAVICON = 'images/favicon.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_
+* **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_.
+* 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:

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.
+
### 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.
### 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.
