hemangsk / gravity Goto Github PK

This issue is created to get you up and running with Jekyll, the superb static site generator.
Basically you have to,

Step 1

• Write step by step manual to install a jekyll theme in general.
  • You can find it easily on the jekyll doc site, just convert it into markdown with proper formatting.
  • There is a new way of installing jekyll theme, which is introduced in Jekyll v3.0, you have to create a seperate section and add those instructions too.

Step 2

• After creating instruction for general theme installation, write specific instructions to install Gravity as a theme. This should not be as detailed as general, keep it minimal.

That's it!

Hi there,

I'm very new to setting up websites, but I really like your gravity theme. I'm trying to learn a bit about how everything is put together, and can't for the life of me figure out how the navigation pages are generated. I see how to change the actual name values associated, but I don't understand how they're being generated. I'm mainly curious, as I'd like to learn how to change the ordering of items in the navigation window, but also to better understand what is happening under the hood.

Thank you,
Spencer

Hi Hemang,

Thanks for your Jekyll theme.

I added images to my blog based on your theme.
When I access my repository from GitHub, the image is available and can be seen in the post via repository, but when I load the HTML version of the post from GitHub pages, the image appears as a broken link.

I am pretty sure I need to add something like this to the base structure
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/path/to/img/myImage.jpg">
but I am unsure where exactly I need to add this in.

Hi,

How would you add icons beside the Github and Twitter you have in the footer? I've downloaded a Facebook icon and converted it to svg and imitated the format for both the svg and html of the github icon, yet it is still not working. Can I ask where you downloaded your svg for Github from?

Thanks!

Here is what the svg for the Facebook icon looks like, and I think somehow it doesn't look right?

All of these are integers, but yours seems to have floating points

i just tried this solution:

#43

{% if post.categories contains "Design" or post.categories contains "Download" %}

which sort of works. i noticed when i add new posts to other categories (eg "Artwork"), it shows up on my home page but as a blank entry. what have i done wrong?

---
layout: default
---

<div class="home">


  {% for post in paginator.posts %}
     {% if post.categories contains "Design" or post.categories contains "Downloads" %}
  <div class="post postContent">
    <div class="postTag">
      {{post.tag}}
    </div>
    <div class="postTitle">
    <a class='postLink' href="http://website.com{{site.baseurl}}{{post.url}}">{{post.title}}</a>
    </div>
    <div class="postExt">
   {{ post.content | strip_html | truncate:275}}
    </div>
  </div>
  {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  {% if paginator.total_pages > 1 %}
    <nav class="pagination">
      {% if paginator.previous_page %}
	<a class="paginationLink" href="http://website.com{{ paginator.previous_page_path | prepend: site.baseurl | replace: '//', '/' }}">&laquo; Prev</a>
      {% endif %}
    {% for page in (1..paginator.total_pages) %}
      {% if page == paginator.page %}
	<em class="paginationLink paginationLinkCurrent">{{ page }}</em>
      {% elsif page == 1 %}
	<a class="paginationLink" href="/">{{ page }}</a>
      {% else %}
	<a class="paginationLink" href="{{ site.paginate_path | prepend: site.baseurl | replace: '//', '/' | replace: ':num', page }}/">{{ page }}</a>
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}

    {% if paginator.next_page %}
      <a class="paginationLink" href="{{ paginator.next_page_path | prepend: site.baseurl | replace: '//', '/' }}/">Next &raquo;</a>
    {% endif %}
    </nav>
  {% endif %}
</div>

Hi,

I'm using this for my blog, and I feel grateful for your share.

I just want some kind of timeline in the archive layout, does it support? Such as, categorizing the posts by year.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have any plans to integrate the Jekyll SEO plugin? It doesn't appear to work currently?

Cheers

hi, i use jekyll lately, and not familiar with html and css, when i finished my post, i founded that home page show all content not excerpt, there is my blog page P.G, i really like Gravity and do not want to change theme, so can you help me fix it? thanks, i will be really appreciate.

I forked this to see what it looked like. I changed the link to my user name and am using the gh-pages and it returns a 404.

I changed it to the master branch after deleting the rest, and the page is missing all the css. What part am I missing? All the other jekyll themes seem to just work off a fork.

• Cleanup code smell
• Document dark mode
• Redefine architecture

Hi Hemang,

Hope you're keeping well.

I needed to share my RSS feed for posts relating to a category with another website - the objective is to enable the other website to publish my posts at their end too.
I can find my RSS feed here:
http://aliarsalankazmi.github.io/blog_DA/feed

I am unsure, however, if the current feed.xml file with Gravity enables segregating posts for certain categories.
If it is possible to achieve this still, could you please guide me?
Thanks.

Hello,
I am trying to setup my github page with your theme and am unable to install jekyll on Ubuntu 16.04.
My default compiler is gcc-4.8 if that could be a possible issue.

The error I get looks like the following:

First off, I love this theme. The issue I am having relates to clicking on the about page or articles page and then when I click the home button, it takes me to your domain.com every time. I even set it to my github url and am getting no luck. I've tried for hours and have gotten nothing butt error page not found pages and your domain.

Can you help me figure out why the template doesn't return to the homepage like I want it to?

you can see my page here https://rollonbears234.github.io

Hey, buddy
I LOVE this theme! It's so simple, clear and cool.
But, is pagination supported by Gravity?
BTW, here is my page 😄 , http://blog.rodickcai.com/

The ultimate aim will be to create a m x n size grid of screenshots in README.md to showcase of different pages in Gravity and put them inside a folder called Screenshots.

Different pages which you can choose are,

• Any post on Gravity
• Main page of Gravity
• About Page
• Category Page

hey i just installed gravity on a brand new server and im not sure how to add posts.

i copied the default.html layout and renamed it test.html. then copied the science.md in the root diretory and renamed it test.md.

$ cat test.md

---
layout: default
title: test
permalink: /test/
tagline: "Humanity is overrated."
category: "test"

---

then i created a new post:

$ cat _posts/2017-03-30-test.markdown

---
layout: default
title:  "Science of Gravity"
date:   2017-03-30 19:45:31 +0530
categories: test
author: "Chandler Bing"

---

<>test

but the post doesnt appear after restarting the jekyll server. any idea what im doing wrong?

what's the easiest way to make design.md or about.md my index.html?

Hi Hemang,

I hope you are keeping well - and that you remember me! ;)
I am facing a problem: When I add a new blog post, for some reason the commit and update is all fine, but the new post does not appear on the main page.

Solutions I have tried:

1. Adding future: true to config.yaml
2. Check feed.xml to ensure a build was successful (which it is, but for some reason the new blog post does not appear on the main page)

Thanks so much in advance for your help :)

I find the font style and size a bit too different in the preview page of posts and the posts themselves. I want to customize it ... how should I go about doing it?

Hey, I'm a complete html and css noobie. What's the easiest way to host the website fonts from the root of my jekyll site? Which lines in which files should I modify?

And thanks for Gravity, it's the best jekyll theme I've see yet.

Your theme has been listed on https://jekyll-themes.com/.

Hello,very like your template.
But I want to change the title,I don't know where is the modification,I hope you can help me,Thank you very much!!!

Would be cool to have the pages centered under the title. Atm it looks like they are left aligned.

I directly fork this repository to my github and build my site. However, the page doesn't look right, with only the raw elements. It seems that the scss doesn't work. How could I get those things right?

My site url is https://zhang-wenjun.github.io/HomePage_Gravity/

Thank you!

Currently the README.md is a bunch of images, remove these 3 images from the README.md
Image 1

Image 2

Image 3

And convert the instructions to text (markdown).
Solving this is all about how you can make the most clean and organised conversion.

That's it!

Hello! Sorry I'm relatively new to git and jekyll.
I've been tinkering with using this theme but the titles of my posts are turning red after I click on them and they stay red. Any fixes or idea of what I could be doing wrong? I didn't touch any of the code and the front matter seems to match the examples.

You have to create a directory structure graphic in README.md using markdown and write in one line what each folder contains.

Update
Directory structure created. Add one line per folder explaining the contents of the folder.

Example of a directory structure : (from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmistakes/made-mistakes-jekyll/master/README.md)

can you help me identify which lines in style.css i need to modify to invert the color theme. everything black to white, everything dark grey to light grey, etc. sorry, im a noob, clearly.

thanks!

How can I tell the homepage to show only posts from /design/ and /download/ but NOT posts from /science/ ?

• Should be configurable via config.yml, where users can do

dark_theme: true

to use the dark theme specific CSS.

• I'm imagining a black background and white text over it with some font adjustments, but completely open to your ideas.

:)

As I see you no longer develop this project, so I took it and added a couple of useful things
If you have something to offer you can take a look at them and send me a Pull requests
But the repository itself -> Gravity by mauladen

Hi! It seems as if the pages in the main navigation are in alphabetical order. Example:

Home | About | Contact | Portfolio

Is there any way to change the order to something specified? Thanks!

Hello, first off wonderful theme.
Now, I'm trying to link to a site where I've gotten some inspiration from, using Markdown's link sytnax.
But, the link isn't being parsed or interpreted.
I've attached some screen shots so you can see what I am referencing.
