NB: I think I should be clear about this – I'm not suggesting that you're the only participant in developing some sort of migration/synthesis/what-have-you. I'm mostly looking to see where you stand on the possibility of something like this and what constraints might exist.
Allow hugo-academic to be used as both a single-page or multi-page site
Academic already can work as both a single page site and a multipage site. Please refer to the docs and reach out on the chat if you have any questions.
I recently found zzo and doscy, both of which are great alternatives
FYI there is a case against the owner of the hugo-theme-zzo
theme as he created hugo-theme-zzo
as a derivative of the Academic code base and then proceeded to replace the name in the copyright notice with his own name.
I've considered transplanting a non-trivial amount of the academic code-base over to zzo
Please familiarise yourself with the Academic license and copyright law before copying Academic code into other themes.
I'd be willing to work towards developing something
If you have an improvement to make to Academic, then please feel free to open a PR for review.
Feature Request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are some components of
hugo-academic
that I find wonderful, and others that are OK. For instance, the documentation layouts and such are great, and onlydocsy
/zzo-docs
appear to really content, but mostly on the front of styling vs construction.Describe the solution you'd like Allow
hugo-academic
to be used as both a single-page or multi-page site. Right now, turninghugo-academic
into a multi-page site requires a significant amount of hacking-on/overriding very useful components ofhugo-academic
.I recently found
zzo
anddoscy
, both of which are great alternatives (in terms of design) tohugo-academic
. I've been playing around withzzo
lately and while I enjoy the design and layout, it's support for publications, projects, and docs pales in comparison toacademic
's.Describe alternatives you've considered I've considered transplanting a non-trivial amount of the
academic
code-base over tozzo
to support this; but before doing so I wanted to see if there might be a way forward that might allow some aspects ofacademic
to be the backbone of various styling layouts.Additional context I believe I'd be willing to work towards developing something that could power
academic
and possiblyzzo
(or other themes), but I'm not entirely sure of the time it might take to translate your efforts into something more general.Please let me know what else you need to know to begin making decisions on this. I've been digging into
zzo
quite a bit recently, but figured brevity would be best to start.
