## How to start



You can download the theme manually by going to [https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git](https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git) and pasting it to `themes/hello-friend-ng` in your root directory.



You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:



``` bash

$ git clone https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng

```



If you don't want to make any radical changes, it's the best option, because you can get new updates when they are available. To do so, include it as a git submodule:



``` bash

$ git submodule add https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng.git themes/hello-friend-ng

```



## How to configure



The theme doesn't require any advanced configuration. Just copy the following config file.

To see all possible configurations, [check the docs](docs/config.md).

Note: There are more options to configure. Take a look into the `config.toml` in `exampleSite`.



``` toml

baseurl      = "localhost"

title        = "My Blog"

languageCode = "en-us"

theme        = "hello-friend-ng"

paginate     = 10



[params]

  dateform        = "Jan 2, 2006"

  dateformShort   = "Jan 2"

  dateformNum     = "2006-01-02"

  dateformNumTime = "2006-01-02 15:04"



  # Subtitle for home

  homeSubtitle = "A simple and beautiful blog"



  # Set disableReadOtherPosts to true in order to hide the links to other posts.

  disableReadOtherPosts = false



  # Enable sharing buttons, if you like

  enableSharingButtons = true

  

  # Show a global language switcher in the navigation bar

  enableGlobalLanguageMenu = true



  # Metadata mostly used in document's head

  description = "My new homepage or blog"

  keywords = "homepage, blog"

  images = [""]



[taxonomies]

    category = "blog"

    tag      = "tags"

    series   = "series"



[languages]

  [languages.en]

    title = "Hello Friend NG"

    keywords = ""

    copyright = 'CC BY-NC 4.0'

    readOtherPosts = "Read other posts"



  [languages.en.params]

    subtitle  = "A simple theme for Hugo"



    [languages.en.params.logo]

      logoText = "hello friend ng"

      logoHomeLink = "/"

    # or

    #

    # path = "/img/your-example-logo.svg"

    # alt = "Your example logo alt text"



  # And you can even create generic menu

  [[menu.main]]

    identifier = "blog"

    name       = "Blog"

    url        = "/posts"

```



## More things



### Built-in shortcodes



Of course you are able to use all default shortcodes from hugo (https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/).



#### image



Properties:



  - `src` (required)

  - `alt` (optional)

  - `position` (optional, default: `left`, options: [`left`, `center`, `right`])

  - `style`



Example:



``` golang

{{< image src="/img/hello.png" alt="Hello Friend" position="center" style="border-radius: 8px;" >}}

```



### Code highlighting



By default the theme is using PrismJS to color your code syntax. All you need to do is to wrap you code like this:




``` html

  // your code here

```




### Favicon



Check the [docs](docs/favicons.md).



### Audio Support



You wrote an article and recorded it? Or do you have a special music that you would like to put on a certain article? Then you can do this now without further ado.



In your article add to your front matters part:



```yaml

audio: path/to/file.mp3

```



## Social Icons:



A large variety of social icons are available and can be configured like this:



```toml

[[params.social]]

  name = ""

  url = ""

```



Take a look into this [list](docs/svgs.md) of available icon options. 



If you need another one, just open an issue or create a pull request with your wished icon. :)



## Known issues



There is a bug in Hugo that sometimes causes the main page not to render correctly. The reason is an empty taxonomy part.

Related issue tickets: [!14](https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng/issues/14) [!59](https://github.com/rhazdon/hugo-theme-hello-friend-ng/issues/59).



Either you comment it out completely or you write the following in



``` toml

[taxonomies]

  tag      = "tags"

  category = "categories"

```



## How to edit the theme



Just edit it. You don't need any node stuff. ;)
