Nikola theme forked from https://github.com/pagecho/maupassant

Description from the original:

A simple typecho template with great performance on different devices.

Suggested configuration is to add Home to nav links so you see the "tabs" properly:

NAVIGATION_LINKS = {
    DEFAULT_LANG: (
        ("/", "Home"),
        ("/archive.html", "Archive"),
        ("/categories/", "Tags"),
    ),
}

TODO:

• Could add support for fontawesome icons in nav bar like some forks of this theme have.
• Image gallery is somewhat broken

Nikola MDL Mako Template

This theme is based from Material Design Lite templates. It gets the idea from the blog example. This theme is for Nikola static site generator and used Mako templates. The RSS feed icon is getting from Community Icons

Installation

To install:

Enter the command line below at the console

$ nikola theme -i mdl

Edit conf.py for setting these values below:

• THEME = "mdl"

Refer to Customizing Your Site for more information. If post_type is used, it accepts a dictionary value, where key is the post meta type and value is the icon name from Google Material Design Icons. There is an example in Customization section.

Style development

You can skip this section if the theme is going to be used as it is. As the final styles.css is generated and placed in assets/css folder.

The css file is generated using SASS compiler. If you have it installed, you can generate the final styles.css file by calling make as there is a Makefile that contains the generation commands.

If you want to add custom styles in custom.scss or custom.css, set mdl__custom_css to True. Both files are git-ignored.

JavaScript development

If you want to add custom JavaScript in custom.js, set mdl__custom_js to True. The custom.js file is git-ignored.
