Octopress 3 Themes: Options? #1778

Open verticon opened 7 years ago

verticon commented 7 years ago

Do I understand correctly that the only theme available for Octopress 3 is Genesis? No way to have the beautiful theme that I see here, and here, and here? (I believe that it is the "default" theme from the previous version of Octopress). I am considering uninstalling v3 and installing v2; albeit I anticipate gem version grief. Any advise for this octopress/jekyll/gems newbie will be much appreciated!

BTW: It is difficult to determine whether what I read on the web is or is not applicable to v3. My default assumption is that it is not.

Thank you for your help.

verticon commented 7 years ago

Apparently, what I referred to as the "default" theme is actually called Classic. Here is an issue pretty much the same as mine; never answered.

BTW: Here is my "out of the box" V3 site, hosted on GitHub pages. (I just got started this weekend).

ianklatzco commented 7 years ago

you can use any jekyll theme! google "jekyll themes"

Thanks, Ian. Is the Classic theme a jekyll theme? Can I use it?

verticon commented 7 years ago

BTW: Please forgive my current inability to distinguish what is provided by jekyll from what is provided by octopress. It seems that octopress layers functionality on top of jekyll in order to make jekyll easier to use; but it is all still a bit murky at the moment.

ianklatzco commented 7 years ago

totally understandable! it took me a while of digging to figure it all out.

you can mkdir blog-testing ; jekyll new ./blog-testing to see what files jekyll creates by default, or try mkdir blog-testing ; octopress new ./blog-testing instead to see what octopress creates.

the directory structure for classic does not look familiar to me, so my guess is that it's out of date. you could probably try fiddling with it some to get it working, though!

verticon commented 7 years ago

Will do. Thank again. Happy New Year, Ian.

Did you ever get the Classic theme working with v3?

verticon commented 6 years ago

Thanks for checking in on me: verticon

jbreckmckye commented 6 years ago

Ah, in the end I decided to try and port the Octopress 2 theme to Hexo!

jms1989 commented 6 years ago

Has anyone built a gem based on the Classic Theme yet? I want to try to port my custom theme based on the Classic one to Octopress 3 for my blog but would like to find a scaffold to work from or at least a how-to on how to make a theme gem.

jbreckmckye commented 6 years ago

Not to my knowledge, but I did complete my Hexo port. Check it out if you're willing to change blog engines (Hexo accepts the same post markup): https://github.com/jbreckmckye/hexo-theme-octo

gonzaarcr commented 4 years ago

Could you find a solution? Or the only solution is to migrate to Hexo?

jbreckmckye commented 4 years ago

@gonzaarcr Well, once I migrated to Hexo, I no longer had a need to look for one.
