Hey, can you help me install & config the theme, I'm a new Hugo user and try to install and edit the theme locally, but I have some problems every time
If you have some free time and want to help me, I'll appreciate it.
hey mahdi - sure, can you share more details of what you did so far, please? any specific errors? Thank you.
Mariano González my first problem with config.toml files. on the blowfish docs say
Set up theme configuration files:
- delete the config.toml file that was generated by Hugo.
- but the "hugo server" cmd not working !
- Copy the *.toml config files from the theme into your config/_default/ folder.
- on this step i try to copy *.toml files i fund on the \themes\blowfish\exampleSite\config_default to the \themes\blowfish\config_default
Is this method correct? I feel like something is wrong or something is missing. Because if I skip the first step and do the second step, the site works fine, but I feel that it looks empty or has missing elements
my sec problem is the RTL Support i try many thinks like
- set RTL = true on \themes\blowfish\config_default\languages.ar.toml
- creating ar.yaml file on i18n folder
- change many "en" to "ar"
- set RTL = true on \themes\blowfish\config_default\languages.ar.toml
- add some code lines to the default config.toml of hugo which was suggested from bing Ai chat
for now this is my 2 big problems im new on the static sites world. I have been using WordPress for the past several years but it no longer serves my needs so I wanted to try something new and I also found this wonderful theme that meets all my needs to create content but unfortunately I am having difficulty with it not to mention that there is not a single video to explain the theme only the docs page and this article is here
From blowfish.page/docs/installation/#set-up-th…, and blog.mariano.cloud/your-website-in-minutes…
1- delete *.toml
.
2- download default files from the Blowfish repo.
3- update the new config.toml
with your custom url.
I think it is better explained in this blog, i added a detailed description to do so. And if there is no config.toml
, the hugo server will not work.
Regarding the language, it should be as simple as creating a new language toml, set RTL=true (blowfish.page/docs/configuration) and update the config.toml
- I did not test this one, but will have a look.
Hope this helps.
UPDATE
Indeed, I just set rtl = true
in my config/_default/languages.en.toml
, commented out baseUrl
from config/_default/config.toml
and ran hugo server
. The text in my local version of the page is now right to left.
