Hi @chesterhow,

First off, great theme; I've decided to use it for my blog.

One little suggestion I would make is to make Disqus and Google Analytics optional. I am not familiar enough with Jekyll to know if you can provide optional build params.

If not I would probably remove these two from the base repo, especially Google Analytics.

First of all, thank you for the great theme. I am having problems understanding the instructions in the GitHub Pages method, and I am not even sure if it is applicable to me:

I am using Github Pages I can't get Jekyll to render a page behind a link. I am using the following fork of Tale: https://github.com/antonostrovsky/tale

If I clone the template into a local repo and run bundle exec jekyll serve I get a page with a Contact link that I can successfully follow. The generated _site folder contains a subfolder 'contact' with index.html within it.

I then create an empty repository (https://github.com/antonostrovsky/test_site) at Github and specify this template in _config.yml:

remote_theme: antonostrovsky/tale

The template is successfully rendered, I can see the template on the index page (https://antonostrovsky.github.io/test_site/), BUT the Contact link leads to nowhere, resulting in "Not Found" error.

I think I have followed the 'Github Pages' method correctly: my theme repository has 'Gemfile', and the _config.yml contains references to the necessary jekyll gems.

Would you be so kind and help me understand why this is happening?

I have already posted a question on Stack Overflow with a bounty, and went to Jekyll IRC - nobody seems to know what is happening.

Thank you in advance

Clicking the tags on the tag page does not filter the posts as expected.

Hey!

First, thanks for the great theme.

While testing my website I realized that the display property is set to inline-block on the catalogue-item.

This is fine when the post's content is big, but for small/empty posts, it produces the following result on the index.html page:

The error seems to go away just by setting the value of the property to block on this line of the _catalogue.scss file.

I would open a PR, but didn't know if this was intentional or not.

I thought that it might be a good idea to revise a part of the project's structure and to split some files into smaller modules (head, navigation, footer, etc.).

Functionality should stay the same and is not supposed to be compromised by this process.

What do you think about this?

Hi, this is my first time using Jekyll, so I may just be making a simple mistake. I've forked the repository and have changed all the needed variables in the configurations file. I also changed the base url to /tale. Unfortunately, the links for the posts still link to the posts on your website, instead of reading the config file and linking to my website.

I wanted to create a static front page and move the posts list to, say, a blog page. So far, I've done this:

• duplicate index.html and save as blog.html
• rename index.html to index.md
• create a new nav. item to access blog.html

The issue is accessing the posts listing in blog.html. It seems to be a problem with the paginate-plugin. I get the following error:
Pagination: Pagination is enabled, but I couldn't find an index.html page to use as the pagination template. Skipping pagination.

I've tried to get around the problem by creating a folder blog and an index.html in it but, of course, it didn't help.

Any idea in how to tell the paginate template to look some place else than index.html?

Thank you for your help.

We no longer include the following libraries with gems or as standard libraries. To use these features, install the corresponding gems.

• sdbm
• webrick
• net-telnet
• xmlrpc

I have resolved the issue by adding webrick to my Gemfile, but Jekyll should provide a gemspec for it.

Hello. I want to add a couple more pages to the navigation bar, instead of only About and Posts. How can I do this? Thanks in advance. Great theme.

I found a problem if a title is very long on the tag page.
Suggest to change the flowing two lines to white-space: normal;

The effect after the change can be found here

I tried to use with my Jekyll project using em instalation method but bundle could not resolve dependencies:

$ bundle add tale
Resolving dependencies...
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "jekyll":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    jekyll (= 4.0.0)

  In Gemfile:

    tale was resolved to 0.1.6, which depends on
      jekyll (~> 3.6)

I want to add seach facility to search with in the blog, is there a way?

I love this theme.
But layout doesn't look well on IE.

Am I allowed to change the copyright holder?

<footer>
      <span>
        &copy; <time datetime="{{ site.time }}">{{ site.time | date: '%Y' }}</time> Chester How. All rights reserved.
      </span>

      <span>
        &copy; <time datetime="{{ site.time }}">{{ site.time | date: '%Y' }}</time> {{ site.author.name }}. All rights reserved.
      </span>
    </footer>

like:

print("hello world")

How can I install mathjax in this theme in order to use it for math syntax?

Hey man! Been a while, how's it going?

So I was trying out Jekyll with your theme as a disposable micro-site solution by using a hexadecimal hash as a subdomain. Great minimal theme for simple uses man.

I realise that in your _config.yml, you wrote:

permalink:  /:year-:month-:day/:title

you omitted the trailing :output_ext

When running jekyll serve, there is no issue. However, on self-hosted solutions, there may be a problem where the server will attempt to load the .html posts without the extension, and respond with a 404.

I was running with an nginx server behind a load balancer.

What I did was to add the following into the server {} block in the nginx site config:

# Remove trailing .html extension
rewrite ^(/.*)\.html(\?.*)?$ $1$2 permanent;
  
# Remove trailing slashes
rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent; 

This rewrite rule basically permits the omission of the extension in the links.

Perhaps it'd be good to add into the README.md if this is true.

It looks like #50 has not been released yet. Are you planning to bump the version and release this in the near future? Thanks!

I am trying to create a customized 404.html page and add a Javascript script into it but it does not work. Could you help me how to a script to a post layout?

Emoji is always getting displayed in a new line and center aligned. I'm using gemoji.

To add an auto-generated RSS/atom feed, github pages says one needs to add

{% feed_meta %}

to the <head> of the document: https://help.github.com/articles/atom-rss-feeds-for-github-pages/

Could you do that?

Hello:

I really liked your website, but I really wanted to have a banner(full width). However, as a beginner, I actually don't know how to create a banner on this Jekyll template.

Do you think you might be able to add this feature? @chesterhow

Thank you

I think it'd be nice to have the next and previous arrows to be the same in both home and post layout:

Currently:
In post: left arrow links to the next page and right arrow links to the prev page.
In home: left arrow links to the prev page and right arrow links to the next page.

I suggest changing the post layout to align with the home page.

Hi,

As I mentioned in minima theme, there are couple useful things located in header like SEO and google analytics included, take a look: https://github.com/jekyll/minima/blob/master/_includes/head.html . Could you please also include these? It will be really helpful.

Thanks

when i follow instructions that error occurs, any help?

hi,

To display excerpts of posts at home page, the function below is used:
{{ post.content | strip_html | truncatewords: 30 }}.

However, the function "truncatewords" does not work for no-english language.
Could you please improve this by using the jekyll default function:
{{ post.excerpt }}

Hi. how do I use the back ticks for multi line codes?

First of all, I would like to thank you for making this beautifully and simply designed Jekyll theme. I love it. I'm still using it right now and don't have the intention of switching to the other themes. But there were a little problem with the date and time next to the "Written by {author_name}" section that I don't really like. When the whole blog is written in Vietnamese, the only part English is that date and time section. Thus making me uncomfortable with the overall looking of the website.

As you can see in the picture, I want it from "May 27, 2019" to "27 tháng 5 2019" but I don't know how to translate this section. Could you mind helping me solving this problem?

Thank you.

Hi,

First of all, thank you for this great theme! :)

I'd like to ask how can I add a cover image to the posts listed on the home page.

I modified home.html like this:

 <div>
        <p style="float: left;"><img src="{{ post.cover }}" height="200px" width="200px" border="1px"></p>
        
        <time datetime="{{ post.date }}" class="catalogue-time">{{ post.date | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}</time>
        <h1 class="catalogue-title">{{ post.title }}</h1>
        <div class="catalogue-line"></div>

        <p>
            {{ post.content | strip_html | truncatewords: 30 }}
        </p>

 </div>

It works but:

1. the nice animated horizintal line is covered by the image
2. it's not responsive

Can you give some hints?

I tried to set up this repository as a new jekyll site using the fork method. When I run jekyll build or jekyll server I get this error from Bundler:

Hi - when the scrollbar appears the content is shifted to the left and when it disappears the content is shifted to the right. You can easily reproduce this on the demo by switching between the About and the Posts pages on the top right.

Here's a potential fix: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1417934/how-to-prevent-scrollbar-from-repositioning-web-page

I found if the content is write by Chinese, and when browse the home page, It will show many lines. ,h ow can I handle this problem. Thank you very much.

Overall this is my favorite theme so far, but I'm curious how difficult it would be to modify a post to use an image in the background of a post title, similar to the screenshot below (from janczizikow/sleek/)
