This is a porting of Beautiful Jekyll theme by Dean Attali. It supports most of the features of the original theme.
Too see a live preview, just visit my blog!
From version 1.1, beautiful-ghost will support only Ghost >= 1.0. It will work also on older versions, but some feature may be disabled (e.g., favicon).
- Comments count disqus
Easy way:
Head to the releases page and grab the last version. Then in your ghost installation go in Settings/Design and click on Upload a theme. You're done! 🎉
If you want to customize some parts, great! Clone the repository, make your modifications and recreate the zip file:
$ git clone https://github.com/boh717/beautiful-ghost.git
// Your modifications
// Then move in theme root level
$ cd beautiful-ghost
$ zip -r beautiful-ghost.zip *
// Upload the theme zip as before
This theme is designed for both large-screen and small-screen (mobile) devices.
This theme has support for syntax highlighting thanks to the PrismJS library.
To use this feature, change {{!> disqus}} into {{> disqus}} in post.hbs and fill out the disqus_shortname parameter in partials/disqus.hbs.
To add Google Analytics, simply sign up to Google Analytics to obtain your Google Tracking ID, add this tracking ID to partials/google-analytics.hbs and change {{!> google-analytics}} into {{> google-analytics}} in partials/footer.hbs.
In header_post_page.hbs you will find a switch:
{{> header_image}}
{{!> no_header_image}}
The first one ({{> header_image}}) is the default: if you upload a post image it will be shown in post page AND on social networks when you share it; if you don't upload an image, then it won't show anywhere. Easy peasy.
The second option ({{!> no_header_image}}) is a little bit different: you will never see the uploaded post image on your blog, but if you share it, then the image will display, giving better visibility to your tweet/FB post.
These two options are mutually exclusive, only one at a time must be activated.
