PELICANCONF.PY

Supports a number of common global variables but patches are welcomed if you need better support.

• MATOMO_SITE_ID to use Matomo, set this var to your site ID, e.g. "1"

• USER_LOGO_URL to replace the logo placeholder, put your logo in content/images/your_logo.png and make this var point to SITEURL + '/static/images/your_logo.png'

pelican-svbhack's Issues

Add "Continue Reading" button

Add "Continue Reading" button at the bottom of each blog summary in the index page so it is consistent with svbtle. It's also a strong visual cue that clearly marks the end of a post summary.

I can take a stab at it if everyone thinks the feature is worthy.

allow comments div to be visible by default

Set static page as homepage

I used the documentation example here to set a sample page as my homepage. However, it still has the "Return to Index" button at the bottom. This is not expected.

In Pelican >= 4.0 the format() command needs explicit keyword arguments

For example, in category.html:

{% block head %}
{% if CATEGORY_FEED_ATOM %}
<link href="{{ FEED_DOMAIN }}/{{ CATEGORY_FEED_ATOM|format(category.slug) }}" type="application/atom+xml" rel="alternate" title="{{ SITENAME }} {{ category }} Category Atom" />
{% endif %}
{% if CATEGORY_FEED_RSS %}
<link href="{{ FEED_DOMAIN }}/{{ CATEGORY_FEED_RSS|format(category.slug) }}" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" title="{{ SITENAME }} {{ category }} Category RSS" />
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}

format(category.slug) needs to be format(slug=category.slug)

Pages not linking back to home page

Thanks for a great theme! One little snag, though...

When I am on a Page in the site, and I click the site title, site logo image or the "Index" link in "Index:Archives", instead of taking me back to the home page, it takes me to a "Directory listing for /pages/" and lists the three pages I have on the site.

However, if I am on an article page, I can click on the site title, site logo image or the "Index" link in "Index: Archives", and it'll take me back to the home page, as I'd expect.

I am not getting this problem when I switch back to the default theme Pelican ships with. How can I fix this? I really like this theme, but don't want my site visitors to get lost.

Embedded gists have inconsistent line number presentations

Line numbers and code are inconsistent for embedded gists, cf. http://giuliofidente.com/2013/04/getting-to-know-and-use-emacs-better.html

Tested in Chrome and IE.

mislabeled issue as feature

You put no ie testing as a known issue and not a feature. To close issue please relabel as feature.

Disqus comments integration not working

Hi, I don't get the disqus comments working for my blog.
I have registered for the disqus.com and used the unique identifier in publishconf.py file.
I followed this http://querbalken.net/howto-setup-comments-with-disqus-in-pelican-en.html procedure.
I'm running my blog on my laptop(with internet connection). Any help?

Social links on Mobile

The social icons don't flow well on the mobile site (for me). Can anything be done for the spacing?

Disqus integration broken if pelican site is served over https

Simple fix though. In the article template, remove http in line 34, letting the url start with //.
It will use the same protocol as the site.

Can't find pelicanconf.py ?

Hey, I cloned the repo but I can't see to find the pelicanconf.py file?

Atom feeds for categories with spaces not linked correctly

Maybe this is a config problem on my end, but I have a category page here: http://stiglerdiet.com/category/sundry-links.html. The category is called "Sundry Links". The Atom Feed link points here: http://stiglerdiet.com/feeds/Sundry%20Links.atom.xml. However, the correct feed page is http://stiglerdiet.com/feeds/sundry-links.atom.xml.

best practice using {% block header %}{% endblock header %}

Thanks for the great template.

I am brand new to Pelican and not sure how it picks up custom template modifications using additional files. I moved the row of links to the ending_message div and entered a string literal in its place shown here.

I tried adding header.html to the template directory
{% extends "base.html" %} {% block header %}<h1>something to bark at</h1>}{% endblock header%}

I think I need to tell Pelican to recognize the new file?
