2. Configuration

There are some basic configuration options you may want to use:

Add your own custom menus in the config.toml like this:

[[menu.main]]
    url = "/home/"
    name = "Files"
    weight = 6

[[menu.main]]
    url = "/dl/"
    name = "Download"
    weight = 7

A Menu in the footer is also available:

[[menu.footer]]
    identifier = "home"
    name = "home"
    url = "/"
    weight = 1

[[menu.footer]]
    identifier = "about"
    name = "About"
    url = "/about/"
    weight = 2

Now you can add your contacts like this:

# Social icons to be shown on the right-hand side of the navigation bar
# The "name" field should match the name of the icon to be used
# The list of available icons can be found at http://fontawesome.io/icons/

[[menu.icon]]
    url = "mailto:me@xxx.com"
    name = "envelope-o"
    weight = 1

[[menu.icon]]
    url = "https://github.com/username/"
    name = "github"
    weight = 1

[[menu.icon]]
    url = "https://twitter.com/username"
    name = "twitter"
    weight = 1

[[menu.icon]]
    url = "https://www.instagram.com/username/"
    name = "instagram"
    weight = 1

3. Content Management

3.1 Posts

There are three basic sections, ‘post’, ‘zone’ and ‘gallery’. You may create a new post using the following command:

hugo new post/post_name.md

3.2 Zone

A section like facebook

hugo new zone/example.md

3.3 Gallery

Gallery is a simple collection for your photos.

hugo new gallery/gallery_name.md

You can upload your files to the /static directory and write the contents in gallery_name.md:

---
title: "A gallery"
date: 2019-12-01T13:21:53+08:00
draft: false
---

![0](/avater.jpg)
![1](/people/1.png)
![2](/people/2.png)
![3](/people/3.png)

3.4 Add a Zone and Gallery to the Menu

Add the following content to your config.toml file:

[[menu.main]]
    url = "/zone/"
    name = "Zone"
    weight = 1

[[menu.main]]
    url = "/gallery/"
    name = "Gallery"
    weight = 2

4. User-Defined HTML Hooks

There are two hooks available for you to insert your HTML code.

1. layouts/partials/self-define.html renders content above the footer for every page.
2. layouts/partials/self-define-single.html renders content above the footer for every blog post. This hook is useful to define your comment modules, such as gittalk, and Disqus.

4.1 Using Hooks to Add Discus Comments

Add Discus comments to the bottom of each post by inserting the following in the layouts/partials/self-define-single.html hook.

{{ template "_internal/disqus.html" . }}

For this to work you will also need to define the disqusShortName in your config.toml:

disqusShortName = "your-disqus-shortname"
