bulma-clean-theme

Gem Version Gem

This is a clean and simple Jekyll Theme built with the Bulma framework, providing a modern looking site to start with.

Contents

Installation

This theme requires Jekyll 3.8 so it is compatible with GitHub Pages.

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "bulma-clean-theme"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: bulma-clean-theme

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bulma-clean-theme

Usage

Pages

Create your pages as individual markdown files and use the layout: page for normal pages. Set the pages title and subtitle in the front matter and it will appear in the hero.

Page Hero

New in 0.2 Heros can now display a background image if you provide a hero_image: /path/to/image.jpg setting in your page front matter, or in the defaults in your sites _config.yml

You can also set the height of the hero by providing a bulma hero height class in your front matter, such as hero_height: is-fullwidth. If you do not provide this, it will revert to is-medium

New in 0.5.4 If you would like to add a call to action button in the hero then add hero_link and hero_link_text to the page's front matter.

New in 0.5.7 If you would like to hide the hero, you can set hide_hero: true in the page's front matter.

New in 0.7.1 If you would like to darken the hero so the title stands out more, you can set hero_darken: true in the page's front matter. You can overwrite the default background colour by setting the $hero-darken sass variable.

Table Of Contents

New in 0.5.8 If you want to display a table of contents (toc) then add toc: true to your page's front matter. You can customise the default table of contents title by setting toc_title: My Custom Title in the page's front matter.

Posts

If you want posts, create a _posts directory to store your posts as per normal Jekyll usage, with the layout: post. Next create a blog directory with an index.html file that has layout: blog

Set the paginate and the paginate_path up in the _config.yaml to configure the posts per page and the blog pagination path.

paginate: 5
paginate_path: "/blog/page:num"

New in 0.2 It will now display an image in the blog page if you set image: /path/to/image.jpg in your post's or page's front matter, or in the defaults in your sites _config.yml

You can also set the height of the hero by providing a Bulma hero height class in your front matter, such as hero_height: is-fullwidth. If you do not provide this, it will revert to is-medium

Social Share Buttons

Share buttons will be displayed on your posts unless you hide them by adding hide_share_buttons: true to your config file.

Navigation

For the top navigation, create a navigation.yml file in _data directory with the following format with the pages you want to include in the top navigation. You can now also add items to a dropdown menu.

- name: Page 1
  link: /page-1/
- name: Blog
  link: /blog/
  dropdown: 
    - name: Page 2
      link: /page-2/

For the current page to have an active class, ensure the link: format matches your permalink format. The above example will work with permalink: pretty setting in your _config.yml

Colours and Styles

To overwrite the primary theme colour, set a sass variable in assets/css/app.scss before importing main

---
---
$primary: #333333;
// Import Main CSS file from theme
@import "main";

You can overwrite any of the Bulma initial variables in this way as long as they are declared before the @import "main"'

Sidebar Visibility

New in 0.2

If you want to show the sidebar with latest posts then set show_sidebar: true in the pages frontmatter, or in the defaults in your sites _config.yml

Menubar

New in 0.3

The menubar gets its content from a data file in your site's _data directory. Simply set the name of your data file in the page's menubar setting in the frontmatter.

show_sidebar: false
menubar: example_menu

You will probably want to disable the show_sidebar otherwise there will be little room for the page content.

Creating a menubar data file

Create a data file in the _data directory and use the following format (if using yml)

- label: Example Menu
  items:
    - name: Home
      link: /
    - name: Pages
      link: #
      items:
        - name: Page With Sidebar 
          link: /page-1/
        - name: Page Without Sidebar
          link: /page-2/
        - name: Page With Menubar
          link: /page-3/
    - name: Blog
      link: /blog/

For the current page to have an active class, ensure the link: format matches your permalink format. The above example will work with permalink: pretty setting in your _config.yml

Multiple menus

You may make multiple menus in the same file, separated by the label

- label: Menu Label
  items:
    - name: Example item
      link: /example-item/
- label: Second Menu Label
  items:
    - name: Parent Item
      link: /parent-item/
      items:
        - name: Sublink 
          link: /sublink/
        - name: Sublink 2
          link: /sublink2/
- label: Third Menu Label
  items:
    - name: Another example item
      link: /another-example-item/

Tabs can be used in conjunction with menubar and/or sidebar if you wish.

- name: Blog
  link: /blog/
- name: About

If you would like to hide the footer on a particular page then set hide_footer: true in the page's frontmatter.

Products

New in 0.5

Now you can add simple product pages to your site using collections.

Product pages

Start by creating a _products directory to hold your product pages and create a new page for each product, such as product1.md. In the front matter for this page you can set the standard settings, such as your title, subtitle, description (for meta-description), hero_image, as well as the additional product settings such as price, product_code, image, features and rating.

title: Product 1 Name
subtitle: Product 1 tagline here
description: This is a product description
hero_image: /img/hero-img.jpg
product_code: ABC124
layout: product
image: https://via.placeholder.com/640x480
price: £1.99 + VAT
features:
    - label: Great addition to any home
      icon: fa-location-arrow
    - label: Comes in a range of styles
      icon: fa-grin-stars
    - label: Available in multiple sizes
      icon: fa-fighter-jet
rating: 3

The text you write for the page content will be displayed as the product description.

Next, add the following to your _config.yml to use collections to process the product pages and output them as individual pages.

collections:
  products: 
    output: true
    layout: product
    image: https://via.placeholder.com/800x600
    show_sidebar: false

You can also set default product page values here if you like, such as the layout or image.

Product Reviews

To add reviews to your product page, create a reviews directory in the _data directory and add a yml file with the name of the product_code from the product page, for example _data/reviews/ABC124.yml. Create the reviews using the following format:

- name: Mr E Xample
  rating: 4
  title: Great product, highly recommended
  date: 01/01/2019
  avatar: https://bulma.io/images/placeholders/128x128.png
  description: >
    The product worked really well. I would recommend this to most people to use. Delivery was quick and reasonable. 
    Would recommend this to my friends. 
- name: Mrs R E View
  rating: 5
  title: Nice, really liked this
  date: 02/02/2019
  description: >
    The product worked exactly as described. 

If you don't want to display an avatar image then a default user icon will be displayed. If you don't want to display a rating then omit it from the yml.

Product Category Page

To create a page listing your products you will need to create a product category page. Create a page, for example products.md, with the layout: product-category in the frontmatter. You can set the sort order of the products using sort: title to sort by the title, or by any setting in your product pages, such as price, rating or any custom frontmatter tags you wish to set.

title: Products
subtitle: Check out our range of products
layout: product-category
show_sidebar: false
sort: title

Scripts

New in 0.5.2

There are two new files within the includes directory called head-scripts.html and footer-scripts.html. These are empty files by default but allow you to add any additional JavaScript to your site, such as the script for AddThis share buttons, in the <head> or after the <footer> of the page.

Callouts

New in 0.5.4

You can now add callouts to a page to make a landing page style layout.

Create a callout data file

Create a data file following the below format. The style is for classes to set the background colour and sizes you would like to use of the Bulma hero container for the callouts.

New in 0.5.7 You can set the height of the callouts in the data file, such as is-small, is-medium or is-large. If unset it will be is-medium by default.

The items have 6 fields, but only the title and subtitle are required. If the icon is a brand icon, such as GitHub in the below example, set icon_brand: true.

style: is-light
height: is-medium
items:
  - title: Example callout 1
    subtitle: Example subtitle 1
    icon: fa-github
    icon_brand: true
    description: >
      The example description text goes here and can be multiple lines.

      For example, such as this. 
    call_to_action_name: Call to action 1
    call_to_action_link: /page-1/

Set the callouts in the frontmatter

To display the callouts on your page, add a callouts property in the frontmatter and set it to the name of your data file without the extension.

layout: page
title: Example Landing Page
subtitle: This is an example landing page
callouts: example_callouts

Favicon

The default favicon path is {{ site.baseurl }}/favicon.png but you can overwrite it in the sites _config.yml like this favicon: /path/to/favicon.png

Showcases

Showcases allow you to display your work to others using a simple layout.

Creating A Showcase Datafile

Create a datafile in your sites _data directory in the following format. Subtitle, features and tags are not required.

The description text accepts markdown and is run through the markdownify filter on the page.

The image_ratio will default to is-16by9 if it is not defined and accepts the Bulma image classes.

To display GitHub Stars, Forks and Watchers badges add your GitHub user and repo name to the github setting, such as chrisrhymes/bulma-clean-theme

To change the default styles of the features, set features_styles. This uses the styles from bulma-block-list npm package.

  This is some introduction text for the showcases.
  
  ## Example Heading
  It can convert markdown format

items:
  - title: Example showcase item
    subtitle: Example subtitle

    link_text: View example
    tags: PHP,CSS,JavaScript
    github: user/repo-name

Displaying the Showcase

Set the showcase in the page's front matter to be the name of the showcase data file without the extension. This gives you the ability to create multiple showcases to be used on different pages.

title: Showcase
subtitle: An example showcase page
layout: page
showcase: showcase_example
show_sidebar: false

Sponsors

Sponsor link in navbar

If you have a GitHub sponsors account set up, you can add your username to gh_sponsor in the _config.yml file and it will display a link to your profile on the right of the navbar.

gh_sponsor: chrisrhymes

Creating a Sponsors Datafile

If you would like to create a page to thank your sponsors then create a data file, such as my_sponsors.yml file with the following structure:

- tier_name: Platinum Sponsors
  size: large
  description: |-
    This is the description for the Platinum Tier
  sponsors:
    - name: Dave McDave
      profile: https://github.com/
    - name: Sarah Lee-Cheesecake
      profile: https://github.com/
- tier_name: Gold Sponsors
  description: |-
    This is the description for the Gold Tier
  sponsors:
    - name: Dave McDave
      profile: https://github.com/

The tier_name and description are required. The size is not required, but can be overwritten to 'large' or 'small' to increase or decrease the size of the box and the text size.

The sponsors require a name, but not a profile link.

layout: page
title: My Sponsors Page
sponsors: my_sponsors
