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.

The theme uses Alpine.js for its interactive components, such as mobile navbar and notifications.

Contents

Installation

This theme requires Jekyll 3.9 to be 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

Lang

The html lang attribute is set to 

en
by default but you can override this in the _config.yml file 
lang: en

Pages

Create your pages as individual Markdown files and use 

layout: page
for normal pages. Set the page's 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 site's 
_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.

New in 0.10.3 - If you would prefer to display the contents in the menubar at the side of the page, then use 

menubar_toc: true
instead of 
toc: true
. This will also override the page's 
menubar
setting.

Posts

If you want posts, create a 

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

Set 

paginate
and 
paginate_path
in your site's 
_config.yaml
to configure the posts per page and 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 site's 
_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
.

Post Excerpt and Summary

By default, the blog page and the latest posts will use the automatically generated post excerpt. If you would like to override this you can set the summary in the post's front matter. 

layout: post
title: The post title
summary: |-
    This is the custom summary for the post.


It can be in **Markdown format** if required.

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 the 

_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 a 
permalink: pretty
setting in your 
_config.yml
.

Fixed Navbar

To have a fixed navbar on the top or bottom of your site, you can set 

fixed_navbar: top
or 
fixed_navbar: bottom
respectively 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";
.

Theme Color Meta Tag

If you want to update the theme color meta tag then set 

theme_color: '#333333'
in your 
_config.yml
file.

Sidebar Visibility

New in 0.2 - If you want to show the sidebar with latest posts then set 

show_sidebar: true
in the page's frontmatter, or in the defaults in your site's 
_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 

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 labels.

- 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

New in 0.4 - 

tabs
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 front matter. 
title: Page with tabs
subtitle: Demo page with tabs
layout: page
show_sidebar: false
menubar: example_menu
tabs: example_tabs

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

Creating a tabs data file

Create a data file in the 

_data
directory and use the following format (if using yml). 
alignment: is-left
style: is-boxed
size: is-large
items:
  - name: Tabs
    link: /page-4/
    icon: fa-smile-wink
  - name: Sidebar
    link: /page-1/
    icon: fa-square
  - name: No Sidebar
    link: /page-2/
    icon: fa-ellipsis-v
  - name: Menubar
    link: /page-3/
    icon: fa-bars

Settings

You can control the alignment, style, and size of tabs by using the relevant Bulma tabs classes.

Active Tab Highlighting

It will automatically mark the active tab based on the current page.

Icons

You can add icons to your tab by passing in the Font Awesome icon class. If you don't wish to show icons then simply omit the option from your yaml file.

Notifications

You can include a notification in a page or post using the below include. The message is required but the status defaults to 'is-warning' and the icon defaults to 'fas fa-exclamation-circle', but can be overwritten by setting the values in the includes. The message can also be written in Markdown format.

{% include notification.html message="This is the message for the notification" %}

Dismissible Notifications

To set a notification to be dismissible, set dismissible to 'true'

{% include notification.html
message="This notification is dismissable"
dismissable="true" %}

Iconless Notifications

Omit the icon by setting icon to 'false'

{% include notification.html
message="This notification does not have an icon."
icon="false" %}

Tags

To include a tag use the following include. 

{% include tag.html tag="The tag text" %}

You can overwrite the default style (is-primary) by passing in the style in the include tag.

{% include tag.html tag="The tag text" style="is-light" %}

Google Analytics

New in 0.2 - To enable Google Analytics add 

google_analytics: UA-xxxxxxxx
to your 
_config.yml
replacing the UA-xxxxxxxx with your Google Analytics property.

Footer

New in 0.4.1 - To add some footer links, create a yaml file in the 

_data
directory using the following format. 
- name: Blog
  link: /blog/
- name: About
  link: /about/
- name: Privacy Policy
  link: /privacy-policy/

Then add the name of your yaml file (without the .yml extension) into the 

footer_menu
setting in the 
_config.yml
. 
footer_menu: example_footer_menu

Hiding the footer

New in 0.5.2 - 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), heroimage, as well as the additional product settings such as price, productcode, 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 yaml file with the name of the productcode 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: 2019-01-01
  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: 2019-02-02
  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 yaml file.

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 
 or after the 
 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 six 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 site's 
_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 site's 
_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.

intro: |-
  This is some introduction text for the showcases.


Example Heading


  It can convert Markdown format


items:


    

  • title: Example showcase item
subtitle: Example subtitle
description: |-
  This is the example description for this item that you are showcasing and has an image, title, description, tags and a link.
features:
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.



Displaying the Sponsors



To display the sponsors on your page, set the sponsors to the filename without the extension in the page's front matter


layout: page
title: My Sponsors Page
sponsors: my_sponsors



Gallery



Display a simple image gallery on a page, with image descriptions.



Create an image gallery data file



Start by creating a gallery data file using the below format, for example 
my_gallery.yml
. 

- title: Image Gallery Title
  images:
    - link: https://via.placeholder.com/800x450
      large_link: https://via.placeholder.com/1200x675
      alt: The alt text for the image
      description: |-
        The image description can be written in **Markdown** if required
      ratio: is-16by9
    - link: https://via.placeholder.com/800x600
      large_link: https://via.placeholder.com/1200x675
      alt: The alt text for the image
      description: The image description
      ratio: is-4by3



    

  • If a ratio is not provided it will default to 16 by 9. Use Bulma image classes to define the image ratio required. 
    • 

  • The description can be plaintext or it can be Markdown if required. 
    • 

  • The alt will be used as the image's alt text.
    • 

  • The large_link displays in a modal when the image is clicked.
    • 




Displaying the gallery



In your page's front matter add a gallery with the datafile's filename without the extension.


layout: page
title: My Image Gallery
gallery: my_gallery



Disqus



Disqus comments are available for posts. To be able to use them, you need to set your disqus shortname in 
_config.yml
. 

disqus.shortname=  




Need help finding your Disqus Shortname?  See this helpful post by Disqus on the matter.  



Then you need to set your Jekyll environment to production: 



JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build
. 


Comments are enabled by default. If you want to disable them, set in the front matter this setting: 


comments: false



Recipe



You can make a single page using the recipe layout, or you can use it in your blog by specifying the 
layout: recipe
 instead of post.


You probably want to hide the sidebar, so the recipe takes up the whole page width. If you add any additional content to the page it will appear below the recipe details.



Create a list in the front matter for the ingredients, then the method steps and it will automatically be added to the page.



The front matter will also be added to the page as schema data that is used by search engines. Please see the below example for all of the schema options available.
