Shortly after the 2.0 release Octopress added the `source/_includes/custom` directory. If you don't have this, you'll want to [update](/docs/updating) because it's really nice.
|
|
|
|
source/
|
|
_includes/ # Main layout partials
|
|
custom/ # <- Customize head, header, navigation, footer, and sidebar here
|
|
asides/ # Theme sidebar partials
|
|
post/ # post metadata, sharing & comment partials
|
|
_layouts/ # layouts for pages, posts & category archives
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="landing_page">Landing Page vs. Blog Index</h2>
|
|
By default Octopress generates your blog's post index at your site's root directory.
|
|
If you'd rather publish your blog index somewhere else like `blog/index.html` do this in your terminal.
|
|
|
|
``` sh
|
|
mv source/index.html source/blog/index.html
|
|
rake new_page[index.html]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Next you'll want to update your `Rakefile` to be sure your new blog index is preserved when you [update Octopress](/docs/updating).
|
|
|
|
``` ruby
|
|
blog_index_dir = 'source/blog'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remember to update the main navigation for your site, since currently the blog link points to `/`. Skip down to the section on [changing navigation](#changing_navigation), add a 'home' link and update the 'blog' link to point to `/blog/`.
|
|
|
|
Finally, `source/index.html` can become the landing page of your wildest dreams.
|
|
|
|
## Changing the <HEAD>
|
|
|
|
If you want to add scripts or tags to the `<HEAD>` take a look at `/source/_includes/custom/head.html`.
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock <HEAD> (source/_includes/custom/head.html) %}
|
|
{% render_partial ../.themes/classic/source/_includes/custom/head.html raw %}
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
Here you can easily change or remove the [Google Webfonts](http://google.com/webfonts), insert javascripts, etc.
|
|
|
|
If you'd rather inject scripts at the bottom of the page, you can add that to `/source/_includes/custom/after_footer.html`.
|
|
|
|
### Changing the sidebar
|
|
Octopress integrates with some [3rd party services](/docs/configuring/#third_party) like Twitter, Pinboard and Delicious which appear in the sidebar.
|
|
In the `_config.yml` you can rearrange these, create custom sidebars for each layout, and add your own sidebar sections.
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock Sidebar configuration (_config.yml) %}
|
|
default_asides: [asides/recent_posts.html, asides/twitter.html, asides/delicious.html, asides/pinboard.html]
|
|
# blog_index_asides:
|
|
# post_asides:
|
|
# page_asides:
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
If you want to add a section to your sidebar, create a new file in `source/_includes/custom/asides/`.
|
|
Since many people probably want to add an About Me section, there's already an `about.html` file in there waiting to be added. Here's a look.
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock About Me (source/_includes/custom/asides/about.html) %}
|
|
{% render_partial ../.themes/classic/source/_includes/custom/asides/about.html raw %}
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
Whenever you add a section to the sidebar, follow this pattern, with a `<section>` block and an `<h1>` for a title. To add it to the sidebar, edit the `_config.yml` and add it to the list of asides.
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock Sidebar configuration (_config.yml) %}
|
|
default_asides: [asides/recent_posts.html, asides/twitter.html, asides/delicious.html, asides/pinboard.html]
|
|
blog_index_asides: [custom/asides/about.html, asides/recent_posts.html, asides/twitter.html, asides/delicious.html, asides/pinboard.html]
|
|
post_asides: [custom/asides/about.html, asides/recent_posts.html, asides/twitter.html, asides/delicious.html, asides/pinboard.html]
|
|
# page_asides:
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
In the configuration above I've added the about page to the blog index and post pages. Since `page_asides` isn't being set, it will inherit from the default list.
|
|
|
|
## Changing the Header, Navigation & Footer
|
|
|
|
These are sections of the site that are most likely to be customized. You can edit each in `/source/_includes/custom/` and your changes will be preserved across updates.
|
|
|
|
### Changing the Header
|
|
|
|
The header title and subtitle should be configured in the `_config.yml` If you want to make other changes to the header, edit `/source/_includes/custom/header.html` which looks like this:
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock Header (source/_includes/custom/header.html) %}
|
|
{% render_partial ../.themes/classic/source/_includes/custom/header.html raw %}
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="changing_navigation">Changing the Navigation</h3>
|
|
|
|
To change or add links to the main navigation, edit `/source/_includes/custom/navigation.html` which looks like this:
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock Navigation (source/_includes/custom/navigation.html) %}
|
|
{% render_partial ../.themes/classic/source/_includes/custom/navigation.html raw %}
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
The `href` for each link begins with `{% raw %}{{ root_url }}{% endraw %}` (this helps Octopress write urls differently if a site is deployed to a subdirectory).
|
|
If you're deploying your site to a subdirectory like `yoursite.com/octopress` you'll want to add this to any links you add.
|
|
|
|
### Changing the Footer
|
|
|
|
You can customize the footer in `source/_includes/custom/footer.html` which looks like this:
|
|
|
|
{% codeblock Footer (source/_includes/custom/footer.html) %}
|
|
{% render_partial ../.themes/classic/source/_includes/custom/footer.html raw %}
|
|
{% endcodeblock %}
|
|
|
|
Change this however you like, but be cool and keep the Octopress link in there.
