Mimic of the Oregon State University Doug Fir Drupal Theme for the OSU Open Source Lab Website
This theme's master branch is currently being used by the OSL Pelican Site and the OSU CASS Pelican Site.
This theme is intended to provide general formatting for pelican sites used by the OSU Open Source Lab. Several features are implemented in a very general way to allow for usage by different websites. These features require additional setup in the website themselves.

This theme creates a main menu in the following format:
thing1 thing2 thing3 thing4
| | | |
child1 child1 -- gchild1 child1 child1
| | | | |
child2 -- gchild1 child2 gchild2 child2 child2
| | | |
child3 gchild2 gchild3 child3
| |
child4 child4 -- gchild1
|
gchild2The main menu is generated using Jinja2 templating. This requires metadata in the static webpages:
:menu: <parent_name>, <page_name>, <menu_weight>; <parent2>, <name2>, <weight2>; ...
This metadata is required for pages to be included in the menu. Each menu location is delimited by a semicolon (';'). Menu items can have one or multiple locations in the menu.
<parent_name is the name of the menu item above the current item<page_name> is the name of the current item that will be displayed in the
menu<menu_weight> is the weight of the menu item. Items with higher weights
appear lower on the menu.:slug: path/to/rendered/file
This is used as the link in the <a href=''> tag.
Direct templates are their own animal. You cannot add metadata to a direct
template, so if you want to include one in your menu you have to add the
information directly to the site's pelicanconf.py like this:
DIRECT_TEMPLATE_INFO = [
{'parent': u'top', 'link': '/blog', 'name': 'Blog', 'weight': 5, 'children': []}]
