Code Highlight

Starting from Hexo 5.0.0 version, it comes with support for prismjs code syntax highlighting, and hexo-theme-matery has been modified to support it.

If the plugin of hexo-prism-plugin has been installed in your blog, then you need to execute npm uninstall hexo-prism-plugin to uninstall it, otherwise there will be {, } escape characters in the code block of the post.

Then, modify the value of highlight.enable to false in _config.yml at the root your hexo project, and set the value of prismjs.enable to true, the main configuration is as follows:

highlight:
  enable: false
  line_number: true
  auto_detect: false
  tab_replace: ''
  wrap: true
  hljs: false
prismjs:
  enable: true
  preprocess: true
  line_number: true
  tab_replace: ''

The default prismjs theme in the hexo-theme-matery is Tomorrow Night, if you want to customize your own theme, you can go to prismjs download page to download yourself favorite theme css file, then name this css theme file prism.css, replace the source/libs/prism/prism.css file in the theme folder of hexo-theme-matery.

Search

The theme uses the Hexo plugin hexo-generator-search to search the content, and the Installation command is as follows:

npm install hexo-generator-search --save

Add the following content in _config.yml at the root of your hexo project:

search:
  path: search.xml
  field: post

Translate Chinese Link to Pinyin (Recommended)

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

Installation command is 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 generate non-Chinese link in addition to this plugin.

Post word count statistics plugin (Recommended)

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 command is as follows：

npm i --save hexo-wordcount

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

postInfo:
  date: true
  update: false
  wordCount: false # set true.
  totalCount: false # set true.
  min2read: false # set true.
  readCount: false # set true.

Add emoji support (Optional)

This theme adds support for the emoji emoticon, using the Hexo plugin hexo-filter-github-emojis to support the generation of the emoji expression. The corresponding markdown emoji syntax (::, for example: :smile:) is converted into a emoji expression that jumps. The installation command is as follows:

npm install hexo-filter-github-emojis --save

Add the following configuration into the _config.yml file in your hexo project root folder：

githubEmojis:
  enable: true
  className: github-emoji
  inject: true
  styles:
  customEmojis:

Execute hexo clean && hexo g to regenerate the blog file, and then you can see the expression you wrote in the emoji grammar in the corresponding position in the article.

Add RSS feed support (Optional)

The theme uses the Hexo plugin hexo-generator-feed to support RSS feed , and the Installation command is as follows:

npm install hexo-generator-feed --save

Add the following configuration into the _config.yml file in your hexo project root folder：

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.

DaoVoice online chat (Optional)

Go to the official website of DaoVoice, register and get the app_id. Fill the app_id into the the theme _config.yml file.

Tidio online chat (Optional)

Go to the official website of Tidio, register and get the Public Key. Fill the Public Key into the the theme _config.yml file.

Modify website footer

Website footer may need to be customized, and it is not convenient to make it part of the configuration, So you need to modify and process it by yourself. Changes could be made in the theme's /layout/_partial/footer.ejs file, including the site information, the theme used, the amount of traffic and so on.

Modify social links

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

<% if (theme.socialLink.github) { %>
    <a href="<%= theme.socialLink.github %>" class="tooltipped" target="_blank" data-tooltip="访问我的GitHub" data-position="top" data-delay="50">
        <i class="fab fa-github"></i>
    </a>
<% } %>

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

Facebook: fab fa-facebook
Twitter: fab fa-twitter
Google-plus: fab fa-google-plus
Linkedin: fab fa-linkedin
Tumblr: fab fa-tumblr
Medium: fab fa-medium

Configure music player (optional)

To support music playing, you just need to activate music playing configuration in the theme's _config.yml file.

# Whether to display the music
music:
  enable: true
  title: 		   # non-fixed mode works
    enable: true
    show: Listen to music
  server: netease   # require music platform: netease, tencent, kugou, xiami, baidu

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 example: `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.
hide	`false`	Whether show this post in homepage, if the `hide` value is `true`, it will not be showed in homepage.
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
keywords	Post Title	Post key Words With SEO
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 picture will take remainder if not writing the img property, and choose 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.

Custom modification

You can modify some custom modification in _config.yml as follows:

Menu
My dream
Home music player and video player configuration
Whether to display the title of the recommended posts
favicon and Logo
profiles
TOC
post rewards
Append copyright information when copying article content
MathJax
Post word count, reading times
the 'love' effect of clicking on the page
My Projects
My Skills
My Gallery
Gitalk, Gitment, Valine and Disqus
Busuanzi Statistics And Google Analytics
The map of default featured pictures. The theme will take remainder according to hashcode of the post title if the post does not set featured pictures.

I think everyone should have their own style and feature for their blogs. If you are not satisfied with the theme's functions and color, you can modify them by yourself, and more free functions and details could be changed by modifying source code when it is hard to achieve by modifying the theme's _config.yml.

Customizing 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 switching logic, such as Random switching. The code for 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 some, and modify corresponding settings in the theme's _config.yml.
