Really love this theme

wellzen opened this issue 7 years ago · 11 comments

I am a real Hugo newbie and have been really enjoying setting up a blog using this theme. I have a really dumb question, hopefully someone will be willing to take a moment to answer it: I can't figure out how to change to the appearance in my site to what is seen in the example front page which shows both the subject line and a bit of sample text, whereas the default has a really big font for the list of posts and no text; even just being able to reduce the default font size would be great! Thanks for your patience :-)

Try setting enableSummary = true in your config file.

Answer 2 · 2018-05-09T20:37:56.000Z

Hi, thanks very much for the reply and suggestion, however I did enable this setting early on, (and it is still on) but it didn't make any difference unfortunately

I guess it's because the useDescriptionReplaceSummary is true, but there is no description in your .md files' front matter . Maybe you can try to set useDescriptionReplaceSummary = false.

Answer 6 · 2018-05-10T06:55:03.000Z

not so: every post has a variation of this in the front matter: +++ title = "For there to be conflict..." description = " conflict or dispute can be described as: a difference plus an uncomfortable emotion....." tags = [ "avoidance", "compromise", "assertive", "collaboration", "fairness", "win", ] date = "2014-09-01" categories = [ "Restorative Justice", "accountability", "children", "hope", ] menu = "main" summary = "true" +++

Looks like no problem. Could you send me your hugo folder?

Answer 8 · 2018-05-10T09:19:27.000Z

I tried a few ways but nothing worked - e.g. rejected cos too big, so I put a zipped up file in dropbox here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qnc9otl3j5ita3x/AAB4wx9T1FEUyGgONtcB3Koha?dl=0

Answer 9 · 2018-05-10T10:21:18.000Z

I got the file and found the trouble. Because there is some syntax error in config.toml file.

Change your config.toml file to below. Pay attention to the params character. The values nested under params are properties of pramas.

baseURL = "http://conflictmatters.nz/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "Conflict Matters"
theme = "cactus-plus"
staticDir = ["static","about"]

[params]
  author = "William Hursthouse"
  description = "Conflict matters is an occassional blog providing tips onn dealing with conflict in relationships of all kinds, including at home and at work"
  enableToc = true
  enableRSS = true
  enableSummary = true
  useDescriptionReplaceSummary = true
  showLatestPosts = true
  enableGoogleAnalytics = true

The example config file is https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml

Wonderful!! I can't tell you how grateful I am, thank you so much!! Also I wanted to let you know the reason I have not changed your picture of the solitary person within the circle is that I also really like it - I think it works really well with my posts: we all feel alone when we are in conflict :-) If you still have patience, would you be willing to help me figure out how to "activate" the "subscribe" button? Thanks again!

I'm glad to help you solve the problem! I also really like the picture and I very much agree with your description, it is a poster named The Future.

If you want to use "activate" the "subscribe" button, just the set enableRSS = true.
