Generate icons
It's best to use the provided generate_icons.sh
script to generate all necessary icons for your website. This script requires ImageMagick, that you will need to install separately.
For the best results, place your logo in svg format inside the static
directory of your website, rename it to logo.svg
and then call ./themes/hugo-ficurinia/generate_icons.sh static/logo.svg
.
The script will take care of generating all the icons you need.
Finally, make sure to edit your config.toml to include the following:
# ...
[params]
logo = "/logo.svg"
favicon = "/favicon.png"
faviconIco = "/favicon.ico"
appletouch = "/apple-touch-icon.png"
svgicon = "/logo.svg"
# ...
Inject custom content
Ficurinia supports injecting custom content into the theme. There are several files you can create in layouts/partials/inject
that will be included inside the theme in different places.
Partial | Placement |
---|---|
layouts/partials/inject/body.html |
Before closing the body tag |
layouts/partials/inject/content-after.html |
After a post or page content |
layouts/partials/inject/content-before.html |
Before a post or page content |
layouts/partials/inject/footer.html |
At the beginning of the footer |
layouts/partials/inject/head.html |
Before closing the head tag |
layouts/partials/inject/header-after.html |
