## Installation

```
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus.git
```

For more information read the official [setup guide](//gohugo.io/overview/installing/) of Hugo.


## Example Site

There is an example site with config file and markdown files in [`exampleSite`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/tree/master/exampleSite) directory.

## The config file

Take a look inside the [`exampleSite`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/tree/master/exampleSite) folder of this theme. You'll find a file called [`config.toml`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml).

To use it, copy the [`config.toml`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml) in the root folder of your Hugo site. Feel free to change strings as you like to customize your website.

## About page

Use the about page to introduce yourself to your visitors. You can customize the content as you like in the `/content/about/_index.md`.

## Tags page

Use the tags page to show all post's tags. You can create the file `/content/tags/_index.md` and set `hidden = true` so that the page does not show on your home page or other lists of pages.

For example:

```markdown
+++
date = "2015-06-20T14:02:37+02:00"
title = "Tags"
hidden = true
+++
```

## Avatar

Furthermore, you should replace the [avatar placeholder](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/static/images/) with a great image of yourself.

## Hide pages

Pages can be hidden and don't appear in the post list on the homepage if you add the variable `hidden = true` to the frontmatter. This allows you to link from elsewhere, i.e. just the menu.

## Disqus

## Disable Comment

Just set both `enableDisqus = false` and `enableDuoshuo = false` if you want to disable comment.



## Google Analytics

This theme use Google Analytics by default. If you want to disable Google Analytics, just set `enableGoogleAnalytics = false` in [`config.toml`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml).

## Baidu Tongji

This theme alse features Baidu Tongji for Chinese users. To use Baidu Tongji you should set `enableBaiduAnalytics = true` and set `baiduAnalytics` to your  `Baidu Tongji Code` which looks like `39843ea392201290bd6f76173d2e0000` in  [`config.toml`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml).


## Social link icons

You can add a social link panel in the footer by adding entries to the `social` block in the [`config.toml`](https://github.com/nodejh/hugo-theme-cactus-plus/blob/master/exampleSite/config.toml). You can choose between two icon fonts:

- [Font awesome](https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) or
- [Mono social icons](https://github.com/drinchev/monosocialiconsfont)

Assign either `font-awesome` or `mono-social` to the `iconFont` variable. The Mono social icons offer three styles of icons: -circle, rounded, or default (empty).
