Theme not generated #35

Closed felixcheruiyot closed 11 years ago

felixcheruiyot commented 11 years ago

I am trying to create a tinkerer blog but the theme and _static folders are empty.

I installed it through pip and followed the documentation but I could not get it work. Any idea?

Could you please give some more details on what you are trying to do and what you are seeing? Like, how did you set up your blog, did you create a post, did you run build? What are you expecting to see?

Here are the steps I followed. I installed tinkerer in my active virtualenv

pip install tinkerer

In my blog directory I did

tinker --setup

I edited the conf.py to my preference and then created a post and a page

tinker --post 'Hello World!'
tinker --page 'About'
tinker --build

The htmls were generated but the static files folders are empty. It seems the theme files are not loaded. I thought I missed a step and decided to remove everything and do it again. Result is still the same. You can see it here. Visiting the site does not load the theme.

Note: No errors flashed during building, post and page creation.

Other details:

_static directory seems to be there under blog/html. If you are hosting on github, make sure to have a .nojekyll file in your repository root, otherwise github tries to serve things through Jekyll. Tinkerer (Sphinx) is not compatible with Jekyll, specifically due to underscores at beginning of names. Jekyll has special meaning for those, which you don't want for Tinkerer static websites.
