Installation

First of all, You need to add config files. Follow the Configuration step.

Then, You can download and unpack the theme manually from Github but it's easier to use git to clone the repo.

If you use git to version control your site, highly recommended, it's best to add the zzo theme as a submodule.

From the root of your site:

git submodule add https://github.com/zzossig/hugo-theme-zzo.git themes/zzo

Updating

From the root of your site:

git submodule update --remote --merge

Layout

CSS grid for layout

Modern CSS grid is the easiest and cleanest way to layout your pages.

The CSS grid layout are in assets/sass/layout/_grid.scss. A lot can be done by just reordering "grid-template-rows".

grid structure

left	right
1	2
3	4
5	6
7	8

• left, right column width ratio => 5 : 2
• 1 => .navbar-main
• 2 => .navbar-side
• 1 + 2 => .navbar
• 3 => .header-main
• 4 => .header-side
• 3 + 4 => .header
• 5 => .main-main
• 6 => .main-side
• 5 + 6 => .main
• 7 => .footer-main
• 8 => .footer-side
• 7 + 8 => .footer

grid structure example applied in home page

<div class="navbar"></div>
<div class="header"></div>
<div>
  <div class="main-main"></div>
  <div class="main-side"></div>
</div>
<div class="footer></div>

Gallery

There are two ways to make gallery. You can specify mode at frontmatter.

content/gallery/anygalleryname/index.md

---
title: "{{ replace .Name "-" " " | title }}"
date: {{ .Date }}
description: 
type: gallery
mode: one-by-one # at-once or one-by-one
tags:
-
series:
-
categories:
-
images: # when mode is one-by-one, images front matter works
  - image: image1.jpg
    caption: caption1
  - image: image2.jpg
    caption: caption2
    ...
---

If you set the mode to one-by-one, list.html page will use images frontmatter above. If you set the mode to at-once, list.html page will not use images frontmatter and just read all files under the static/gallery/anygalleryname folder.

1. Make a gallery folder under the content folder

root
├── content
│   ├── gallery

2. Make a sub folder under the gallery folder

root
├── content
│   ├── gallery
│   │   ├── anygalleryname

3. Make a index.md file under the sub folder using this command

hugo new --kind gallery gallery/anygalleryname/index.md

4. Put your images in static folder

root
├── static
│   ├── gallery
│   │   ├── anygalleryname
│   │   │   ├── ...your images here

Multi Language

The default language of this theme is English. If you want to use another language, follow these steps

1. Make a menu file.

root
├── config
│   ├── _default
│   │   ├── ...
│   │   ├── menus.ko.toml

config/_default/menus.ko.toml

[[main]]
  identifier = "about"
  name = "about"
  url = "/about/"
  weight = 1

[[main]]
    identifier = "archive"
    name = "archive"
    url = "/archive/"
    weight = 2
...

2. Make a content file. Add your language code before the md extension.

hugo new about/index.ko.md
hugo new posts/markdown-syntax.ko.md
...

3. Make an i18n file.

i18n/ko.toml

[search-placeholder]
other = "검색..."

[summary-dateformat]
other = "2006년 01월 02일"

[taxo-tags]
other = "태그"

...

Customizing

It's better idea not to modify zzo theme's folder if you wanna future support and upgrade. (You can modify if it doesn't matter) If you want more customizing options, open an issue.

custom css

1. Add this line of code to your params.toml file

config/_default/params.toml

...
custom_css = ["css/custom.css", "scss/custom.scss", ...]
...

2. Add your file to assets folder. Filename must match with config params you set above.

assets/scss/custom.scss
assets/css/custom.css

3. If you want to modify zzo theme's default color, you should override the theme style. For example, if you want to change the body background-color, because I set the background-color in #body selector, not in body tag selector, you should override body background-color there. body tag selector won't work. And make sure to set !important.

assets/scss/custom.scss or assets/css/custom.css

...
#body {
  background-color: red !important;
}
...

custom js

1. Add this line of code to your params.toml file

config/_default/params.toml

...
custom_js = ["js/custom.js", ...]
...

2. Add your file to assets folder. Filename must match with config params you set above.

assets/js/custom.js

custom skin(sub theme)

1. Make a skin.toml file in data folder. (data/skin.toml)

2. Set custom_theme_primary_color variable. The range of value that can be set is from "0" to "359".

3. Restart hugo.

4. Once you change the skin.toml file, restart hugo.

custom syntax highlighting

1. Make a skin.toml file at root/data folder. Set the chroma_theme value as you want. Refer this link. If chroma_theme value include - or _ like special character, just delete it. For example, if you want use solarized-dark256 style, set the param like this.

root/data/skin.toml

chroma_theme = "solarizeddark256"

2. Add a custom style file if you want to change specific colors. [custom-css] Then, override chroma class. You can find this class at themes/zzo/assets/sass/syntax folder. Example code is like this.

root/assets/scss/custom.scss

.chroma {
  background-color: #123456 !important;
}

Make sure that !important is necessary. After you changed this param, restart hugo.

custom header

You may want to change home page header. There are 4 options which is slider, image, text, empty.

1. Set param at config/_default/params.toml(homeHeaderType)

2. Make _index.md file at root/content/_index.md and copy & paste below.
