Il piattaforma di blogging Ghost Recentemente ha ricevuto molta attenzione a causa del recente passaggio dalla versione beta a quella pubblica (se in qualche modo non ne hai ancora sentito parlare, dirigetevi qui e letto).

Come altre piattaforme, Ghost supporta "temi" di terze parti. In questo articolo progetteremo un blog semplice, reattivo e basato sui contenuti. Quindi codificalo in un tema completamente funzionale per Ghost.

Il design

Il tema predefinito di Ghost, 'Casper', è molto pulito. Mettono in primo piano i contenuti, mostrando la tipografia con una tavolozza di colori moderna, in modo che l'attenzione si concentri sulla scrittura.

Seguiremo questa direzione, quindi il nostro processo di progettazione deve iniziare comprendendo come Ghost funziona e ciò che è disponibile all'utente nel back-end. Ci sono 4 elementi principali che saremo in grado di attingere dal back-end mentre progettiamo il tema (a parte ovviamente gli articoli / i post stessi) che sono:

• Titolo del Blog
• Descrizione del blog
• Logo del blog
• Copertina del blog

Tutto ciò può essere impostato nella scheda Impostazioni in Ghost. Questi indicano il design in una direzione ovvia di una sorta di banner nella parte superiore della pagina, che contiene il titolo, il logo e la descrizione e una copertina come sfondo.

La home page

Quindi dobbiamo solo progettare 2 pagine, cioè la home page, che mostra tutti gli ultimi post e la singola pagina post. Dato che il design è relativamente semplice, mostrerò prima la pagina finita, quindi ripasso i dettagli. Quindi, ecco la pagina "home" che mostra gli ultimi post:

Quindi, come puoi vedere, punti salienti colorati, insieme al design semplice e pulito. Esaminiamo nuovamente i dettagli. Quindi abbiamo l'intestazione, che contiene il logo (qui ho realizzato un piccolo costume in lamiera per un fantasma), il nome del blog e la descrizione.

Quindi, se l'utente sceglie una foto di copertina, la inseriremo qui come immagine di sfondo a tutta larghezza. Altrimenti andremo per un colore blu fisso che sarà il nostro colore di evidenziazione come sopra.

Poi abbiamo alcune caselle di contenuto in cui mostreremo tutte le informazioni su ogni post (titolo, data di pubblicazione, autore, tag) e l'estratto.

Finalmente creiamo un semplice link di impaginazione e un piè di pagina. Nella casella di condivisione dell'articolo, nel footer e in tutto il sito, utilizziamo un font personalizzato creato a Fontello e il carattere Apri Sans da Google Web Fonts. Che vedremo come implementare in seguito.

La singola pagina del post

Questo design è molto simile alla home page. Tranne il blocco in cui abbiamo inserito l'estratto prima ora si estenderà a tutta altezza e mostrerà tutto il contenuto. Inoltre aggiungeremo una casella dell'autore in fondo.

Quindi tutto uguale, a parte alcuni stili di testo incorporati che andremo a finire nella fase di sviluppo. Ed ecco la nuova finestra dell'autore:

Lo sviluppo

Ok, ora il design è stato guardato (e ovviamente lo personalizza secondo le tue preferenze). È tempo di iniziare lo sviluppo. Prima di tutto, se non lo hai già fatto, prendi un secondo e leggi il Ghost ufficiale documentazione sulla creazione del tema. Sono molto chiari e concisi su ciò che è necessario e sulla struttura dei file e così via. Fondamentalmente per questo tutorial, possiamo dividere lo sviluppo in due fasi. Contenuto e stile. Come una relazione di base tra HTML e CSS, faremo funzionare il tema, quindi renderlo simile al nostro design.

La struttura del file

Per iniziare devi avere Ghost installato localmente sul tuo computer. Questo è relativamente semplice da fare, e ora ci sono anche installatori automatici (come questo ). Una volta installato e funzionante, dovrai trovare la cartella fantasma che si chiama 'ghost-version.number' (al momento della scrittura è 'ghost-0.3.2'). Una volta individuato, vai a 'contenuto / temi', lì ti verrà voglia di creare una nuova cartella che abbia il nome del tuo tema. Quindi in questo caso lo chiameremo 'foglio'. All'interno di questa cartella, creeremo 2 file essenziali per un tema Ghost. Questo è 'index.hbs' e 'post.hbs', se hai letto la documentazione di Ghost (o hai usato Handlebars altrove) riconoscerai il formato di file '.hbs' che significa che possiamo usare i cosiddetti 'manubri' : {{}} nel nostro modello.

Dopodiché, aggiungeremo un altro file chiamato "default.hbs" e una struttura di cartelle per i nostri asset e file parziali. Segui questa struttura di file:

A "assets / css / fonts" inseriremo i nostri file font per l'implementazione di @ font-face. Per questo design ho scelto solo 6 icone: Facebook, Twitter, Google, RSS, Tag, Calendar.

A parte questo, il resto dei file è piuttosto auto-esplicativo. Ora entriamo nel codice. Vedremo prima i due file essenziali nel tema.

"Index.hbs" e "post.hbs"

Per quanto riguarda i disegni, darò prima l'intero contenuto del file, poi suddivideremo i bit importanti. Prima di tutto il file 'index.hbs':

{{!< default}}{{> header}}
{{#foreach posts}}
{{autore}}
  {{date date = 'DD MMM YYYY'}} 
  {{excerpt words = "100"}} ... Leggi di più
  {{/ foreach}} {{# se paginazione}} 
  {{{Pagination}}} 
  {{/Se}} 
 {{> footer}} 

So to explain what's happening, the very first line is essential to the theme and tell us that this file will be inserted into the content area into the default file. The second line then inserts our header. Instead of putting it into this file we'll create a partial file later in the 'partials' directory. HBS files are just like HTML files in which you can include normal HTML elements. So the next element in the file is a which will hold all of our main content. Then inside of the repeater we'll put our article element that will contain the post. Inside each there will be a with the title and the meta data of the article (author and publish date). After that the actual excerpt. Then a that has our post's tags (in between an 'if' statement) and the share links, with some span's calling in our icon font. Finally we have some pagination, and we eventually call in the which works like the header. So as you can see it's relatively simple code. Obviously any class or ID names are optional for CSS styling. Next up comes the 'post.hbs' file. Which is mostly similar, but with a few additions and modifications. /">← Go Back {{title}} by {{author}} {{date format='DD MMM YYYY'}} {{content}} {{#if tags}} Tags: {{tags separator=" . "}} {{/if}} Share: {{#if author}} About the Author {{#if author.image}} {{/if}} {{author.name}} {{#if author.website}} {{author.website}} {{/if}} {{author.bio}} {{/if}}{{/post}} {{> footer}} Once again we have the and handlebars. And our element. But this time the wrapping handlebar is Then we call in the (Not excerpt, because this is the individual page we want to show all of the content in the post.) Another difference here is the 'if' statement which is verifying if there's an author for the post. If there is we'll show a box with the author's image, name, URL and bio. All of these elements are editable in the back-end by the user, and will either show up or not depending on whether they exist. 'default.hbs' and the partial files Now we're going to look at the default.hbs file. So if you haven't made it yet, create a new file. In that file we're going to put all the default things that are needed for our page to display correctly in a browser, mainly the doctype and the , and tags. {{ghost_head}} {{{body}}} {{ghost_foot}}

{{!< default}}
