Installation

Installing the Cacti theme can be done in one of two ways. Our GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the theme with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.

The theme by itself is useful, but you may have an easier time getting up and running by installing a skeleton. The Cacti theme is used in the Multi-Language Skeleton, which is a read-to-run site including: sample content, configuration, theme, and plugins.

GPM Installation

The simplest way to install this theme is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM) through your system's Terminal (also called the command line). From the root of your Grav install type:

bin/gpm install cacti

This will install the Cacti theme into your /user/themes directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/themes/cacti.

GPM Update

The simplest way to update this theme is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM). You can do this with this by navigating to the root directory of your Grav install using your system's Terminal (also called command line) and typing the following:

bin/gpm update cacti

This command will check your Grav install to see if your Cacti theme is due for an update. If a newer release is found, you will be asked whether or not you wish to update. To continue, type y and hit enter. The theme will automatically update and clear Grav's cache.

Setup

If you want to set Cacti as the default theme, you can do so by following these steps:

• Navigate to /your/site/grav/user/config.
• Open the system.yaml file.
• Change the theme: setting to theme: cacti.
• Save your changes.
• Clear the Grav cache. The simplest way to do this is by going to the root Grav directory in Terminal and typing bin/grav clear-cache.

Configuration

The Cacti theme has a few simple options that help you configure the theme (cacti.yaml):

enabled: true
author: Wilberforce Humphries
title_header: false
home_profile: true
infinite_scroll: true
analytics: UA-YOURCODE
social:
    twitter: @getgrav
    facebook: rockettheme

In order to configure Cacti, you should copy the theme's cacti.yaml file into a file of your own: user/config/themes/cacti.yaml and make your modifications there.

Once this is done, you should be able to see the new theme on the frontend. Keep in mind any customizations made to the previous theme will not be reflected as all of the theme and templating information is now being pulled from the cacti folder.

Enable Disqus

To enable comments with Disqus, add disqus_shortname: YOUR_DISQUS_HANDLE to the user/config/site.yaml file.

grav-theme-cacti's Issues

Hello,

After install theme and activated, Grav say : You have'nt default.html.twig for this theme.

For some reason the disqus comments twig file is empty despite it being listed as a feature.

Q about css wrapper width

Is it possible to make the with default to 800px, that leaves us with 720px of usable space in the content width.

520px is just crazy small.

Or better if somehow we can make it configurable?

Cacti set his own title

It set "My blog" instead my own.
And where could I modify the copyright?

Plugin "Markdown Font Awesome" not working

Hi!

I am using Cacti and when I install the plugin "Markdown Font Awesome" this plugin is not working in any page. I try it in another themes and works fine, but not in Cacti (my favourite).

Many thanks for your help.

Infinite scroll not working

Hi!
I updated Cacti to version 1.4.1, but the infinite scroll is not working anymore. I have Pagination v1.4.2 and Grav v1.7.0.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Collapsible navbar on mobile?

Any intention to have this theme support a collapsible navbar on mobile? As of now, it looks quite awkward, with navigation items on top of each other, a situation that is particularly acute in multilanguage environments.

Cacti theme includes css and js for code highlighting, but doesn't use them

This can be seen in the Cacti theme demo.

Image in demo...

Visited this demo using an Android Nexus 5 phone running the Android M Preview Release 1. The link in the tweet took me to the site, but the image on the demo site did not display. Could be OS, my version of Chrome or a bug in the demo site (or something else).
