adding custom themes #171

Closed therealjr closed 4 years ago

therealjr commented 4 years ago

I created a custom theme's folder under scss/themes/mytheme which contains navbar.scss, post.scss, and theme-mytheme.scss. However when I try to find the theme in the drop-down selection I cannot find it. Is there something in addition to creating the additional theme files that I need to do?

You'll need to add the name of your new theme to THEME_LIST in the configuration file. deploying.md goes into a little more detail. I think it's rather inefficient to have to do this kind of thing myself, so I'm very open to ideas on how to auto-discover themes instead of manually specifying which ones are available.

You also may want to pull from the bootstrap-removal branch if you're working on theming, since the CSS framework is undergoing a partial rewrite as per #163. You shouldn't have to change much, but enough will change that it might be a good idea to get started on it now, I think.

Thanks for the input. I was planning on implementing some sort of management system for themes inside of the site admin page. I know I asked this before but is there a simpl(ish) way of editting/saving edits to static pages you serve in the site? That would allow me to complete what I have written for the site admin page so far. Then I could go onto themes.

Could you join the irc channel? It would make some of my issues much easier to explain. I mean if you have time, of course! No rush.

By static pages, do you mean things like the FAQ? Those are still rendered with Jinja, so modifying the appropriate template in the templates/ directory should work.

I can join IRC, yeah. I should be able to be online for about the next hour and a half.
