Getting Started

Requirements

Installation of Hugo (latest version recommended)

Get the theme

Run from the root of your Hugo site:

$ git clone https://github.com/rcjach/hugo-webslides.git themes/hugo-webslides

Alternatively, you can include this repository as a git submodule. This makes it easier to update this theme if you have your Hugo site in git as well:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/rcjach/hugo-webslides.git themes/hugo-webslides

Preview the theme

Hugo-WebSlides ships with an fully configured example site. For a quick preview:

cd exampleSite/
hugo serve  --themesDir ../..

Then visit http://localhost:1313/ in your browser to view the example site.

Configuration

The following config.toml is used for the example site.

baseurl         = "/"
theme           = "hugo-webslides"
languageCode    = "en-us"
title           = "A Hugo theme for creating Webslides.js presentations"

[params]
  author = "RCJacH"
  homepage = "RCJacH.github.io"

[params.webslides]
  banner = false
  slideshow = true
  vertical = false
  autoslide = false
  changeOnClick = false
  disableLoop = false
  minWheelDelta = 40
  disableNavigateOnScroll = false
  scrollWait = 450
  slideOffset = 50
  hideIndex = false

[blackfriday]
extensionsmask = ["autoHeaderIds"]

Checkout WebSlides Core-API options for an explanation of what different parameters do.

Note that some parameters is inverted in this theme, for example loop -> disableLoop, navigateOnScroll -> disableNavigateOnScroll, showIndex -> hideIndex.

For minimum work, simply copy the content folder of the exampleSite to your project, and modify the existing md files to your need.
