Get a visible site title #1

Closed joede closed 5 years ago

joede commented 5 years ago

This is my first contact with Hugo and with this theme. I've tried to get the configured title of the site ({{ .Site.title}}) into the navigation bar.

I've done this by adding an entry into <nav> section of header.html. Here I used <h1> to get a bigger this.

In the end, the result looks ugly (wrong font, wrong color, bad spacing). I don't know which CSS styles I have to use to get a proper look and feel. ;-)

Could you please add the title into the navigation bar area? Could this be "switchable" from within config.yml?

Sounds good to me, shouldn't take too long to throw something together.

In config.yml under params, set the key showNavTitle to a value of true to show the title, or false or delete the key to hide the title, hence it's hidden by default.

Great! Thank you for the fast result. I've seen you have updated your own site with a title too? Exactly the way it should be. ;-)

Normally I'm using Pelican which is part of my (preferred) Debian Linux. This was the first time I've tried Hugo. Very interesting....

By the way... I had to use Hugo extended to get your theme up and running. If this is ok, you should add a note to the readme.

Yep, it wasn't something I noticed as being missing until you mentioned it.

Thanks for mentioning that, I actually didn't realize there was an extended version of Hugo (my inexperience with Hugo is showing here 😄). I've been using either Homebrew or the Arch User Repository to install, seems like both of them use Hugo extended. From what I can tell, the only difference is that Hugo extended comes with support for SASS/SCSS processing?

If that's the case, then yes it's required because the theme uses SCSS. I'll make a note of that on the README
