Code highlight

Hexo theme uses Hexo's pluginhexo-prism-plugin to show the code highlight instead of its own theme.The Installation commands are as follows:

npm i -S hexo-prism-plugin

Then,modify the value of highlight.enable to false in _config.yml file of Hexo root folder，and add the configuration of prism plugin as follows:

highlight:
  enable: false

prism_plugin:
  mode: 'preprocess'    # realtime/preprocess
  theme: 'tomorrow'
  line_number: false    # default false
  custom_css:

Search

The theme uses the Hexo pluginhexo-generator-search to search the content,and the Installation commands are as follows:

npm install hexo-generator-search --save

Add configuration of _config.yml file in Hexo root folder as follows：

search:
  path: search.xml
  field: post

Translate Chinese Link to Pinyin (Optional)

Defualt permalinks of Hexo will include Chinese if your atrticle's title is Chinese.But it's adverse to SEO,and gitment comments don't suport Chinese Link as well.We can use the hexo-permalink-pinyin of Hexo plugin to generate permalinks of Chinese Pinyin when generating posts.

Installation commands are as follows：

npm i hexo-permalink-pinyin --save

Add such configurations in _config.yml file of Hexo:

permalink_pinyin:
  enable: true
  separator: '-' # default: '-'

*Note:hexo-abbrlink can genarate non-Chinese link in addtion to this plugin.

Post word count statistics plugin（Optional）

If you want to display the post word count and reading time information in the post detail page, you can install the hexo-wordcount plugin.

Installation commands are as follows：

npm i --save hexo-wordcount

Then just activate the following configuration items in the theme _config.yml file:

wordCount:
  enable: false # Set this value to true.
  postWordCount: true
  min2read: true
  totalCount: true

Add RSS feed support (Optional)

The theme uses the Hexo pluginhexo-generator-feed to support RSS feed , and the Installation commands are as follows:

npm install hexo-generator-feed --save

Add configuration of _config.yml file in Hexo root folder as follows：

feed:
  type: atom
  path: atom.xml
  limit: 20
  hub:
  content:
  content_limit: 140
  content_limit_delim: ' '
  order_by: -date

Execute hexo clean && hexo g to regenerate the blog file, and then you can see the atom.xml file in the public folder, indicating that you have successfully installed.

Modify website footer

Website footer may need to be customized, and it is not convenient to make configuration information, So need to modify and process it by yourself. The changes are in the /layout/_partial/footer.ejs file, including the site, the theme used, the amount of traffic, and so on.

Modify social links

In the theme _config.yml file, the configuration of QQ, GitHub and mailbox is supported by default. In the /layout/_partial/social-link.ejs file of the theme, you can add or modify the social link address as you need. To add a link, please refer to the following code:

<a href="https://github.com/blinkfox" class="tooltipped" target="_blank" data-tooltip="访问我的GitHub" data-position="top" data-delay="50">
    <i class="fa fa-github"></i>
</a>

You can search social icon such as fa-github in Font Awesome.There are common social icons you can reference:

Facebook: fa-facebook

Slack: fa-slack
Sina Weibo: fa-weibo
Wechat: fa-wechat
QQ: fa-qq

Note: The version of Font Awesome is 4.7.0.

Configure music player (optional)

To support music playing, you must activate the file of music playing configuration and music data.

First, create a new musics.json file in the _data directory (new if you don't have one) of your blog's source directory. The contents of the file are as follows:

[{
	"name": "五月雨变奏电音",
	"artist": "AnimeVibe",
	"url": "http://xxx.com/music1.mp3",
	"cover": "http://xxx.com/music-cover1.png"
}, {
	"name": "Take me hand",
	"artist": "DAISHI DANCE,Cecile Corbel",
	"url": "/medias/music/music2.mp3",
	"cover": "/medias/music/cover2.png"
}, {
	"name": "Shape of You",
	"artist": "J.Fla",
	"url": "http://xxx.com/music3.mp3",
	"cover": "http://xxx.com/music-cover3.png"
}]

Note: The properties in the above JSON: name, artist, url, cover indicate the name of the music, the author, the music file address, and the music cover, respectively.

Then, activate the configuration in the theme's _config.yml configuration file:

# Whether to display the musics.

Post Front-matter

Detailed Front-matter options

Everything in the Front-matter option is not required. But I still recommend at least filling in the values of title and date.

Options	Defaults	Description
title	Markdown's file title	Post title, it is highly recommended to fill in this option
date	Date and time when the file created	Publish time, it is highly recommended to fill in this option, and it is best to ensure that it is globally unique
author	`author` in root `_config.yml`	Post author
img	a value in `featureImages`	Post feature image，For exampl: `http://xxx.com/xxx.jpg`
top	`true`	Recommended post (whether the post is topped), if the `top` value is `true`, it will be recommended as a homepage post.
cover	`false`	The `v1.0.2` version is added to indicate whether the post needs to be added to the homepage carousel cover.
coverImg	null	The new version of `v1.0.2` indicates that the post needs to display the image path on the cover of the homepage. If not, the default image of the post is used by default.
password	null	The post read the password. If you want to set the reading verification password for the article, you can set the value of `password`, which must be encrypted with `SHA256` to prevent others from seeing it. The premise is that the `verifyPassword` option is activated in the theme's `config.yml`
toc	`true`	Whether TOC is turned on or not, you can turn off the TOC function for an article. The premise is that the `toc` option is activated in the theme's `config.yml`
mathjax	`false`	Whether to enable math formula support, whether this article starts `mathjax`, and you need to open it in the theme `_config.yml` file.
summary	null	Post summary, custom post summary content, if the attribute has a value, the post card summary will display the text, otherwise the program will automatically intercept part of the article as a summary
categories	null	Article classification, the classification of this topic represents a macroscopically large classification, only one article is recommended for one classification.
tags	null	Post label, a post can have multiple labels
reprintPolicy	cc_by	Post reprint policy, value could be one of cc_by, cc_by_nd, cc_by_sa, cc_by_nc, cc_by_nc_nd, cc_by_nc_sa, cc0, noreprint and pay

Note:

post's featured piature will take remainder if not writing the img property,and chose the featured picture of theme to let all of post's picture have their own characteristics.

The value of date should try to ensure that each article is unique, because Gitalk and Gitment recognize id in this topic are uniquely identified by the value of date.

If you want to set the ability to read the verification password for the article, you should not only set the value of the password with SHA256 encryption in Front-matter, but also activate the configuration in the theme _config.yml.

you can define reprint policy for a single article in the front-matter of the specific md file using this key: reprintPolicy

The following are examples of the post's Front-matter.

I think everyone should have their own style and feature of blog。if you are not satisfiled with functions and theme color,you can modify by yourself,and more free functions and deatil need to be modified by modify source code when it is hard to be finished in _config.yml.

modeing theme color

Search .bg-color to modify background color in /source/css/matery.css in theme file：

/* The overall background color, including navigation, mobile navigation, footer, tab, etc.. */
.bg-color {
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #4cbf30 0%, #0f9d58 100%);
}

@-webkit-keyframes rainbow {
   /* Dynamically switch background colors. */
}

@keyframes rainbow {
    /* Dynamically switch background colors. */
}

Modify banner picture and post's featured pictures

You can change banner pictures in /source/medias/banner as you like .Theme code can switch dynamically every day and just need 7 pictures.If you master JavaScript,you can change it to your favorite swithing logic,such as Random switching.The code of switching banneris in <script></script> of /layout/_partial/bg-cover-content.ejsfile.

$('.bg-cover').css('background-image', 'url(/medias/banner/' + new Date().getDay() + '.jpg)');

There are 24 featured pictures in /source/medias/featureimages,you can add or delete,and modify it in _config.yml at the sametime.
