Description

This repository contains a Hugo theme that is based on the Bootstrap Freelancer template. I created this Hugo theme as I have always liked the Freelancer Bootstrap template, and my preference for Hugo for static site generation made it a no brainer to me. As the origional Freelancer theme was a single page template, I have used some creative licence when it comes to the post listing pages, and content pages. If you have any suggestions on how it can be made better, please commit. You can see an example site running it, like I said my own site is using.

How To Use

You can use this theme like you would with any Hugo theme. The generally accepted way of using themes is to install them as a git sub module so you’re able to keep them upto date with the theme repository.

# inside your hugo directory clone this repository as a sub module
git submodule add https://github.com/joseph-mccarthy/hugo-bootstrap-freelancer-template themes/freelancer
# update your config to use new themem
echo theme = \"freelancer\" >> config.toml

This theme also comes with it’s own default content type, and should be used also along with the idea of bundles. Here is an example command on how to use the default content type

hugo new --kind default posts/my-post

This content type has some font matter that you’ll be able to make use of as it’s using bundles. There is a field named “hero” which would be the path to the banner image of the post, this image is also used in the post listing pages. The “sidebar” field states if to show the post as full width or with the meta sidebar which will show related posts and last 5 publised posts.

There are also some extra paramters that should be added to your config.toml in order to use the theme to it’s full.

[params]
  tagLine = "Graphic Artist - Web Designer - Illustrator"
  homePosts = 3
  homeProjects = 3

  aboutLeft = "Freelancer is a free bootstrap theme created by Start Bootstrap. The download includes the complete source files including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well as optional SASS stylesheets for easy customization."
  aboutRight = "You can create your own custom avatar for the masthead, change the icon in the dividers, and add your email address to the contact form to make it fully functional!"

[params.location]
  lineOne = "2215 John Daniel Drive"
  lineTwo = "Clark, MO 65243" 

[params.sbform]
      token = ""

[params.homebutton]
  text = "Free Donwload"
  link = "https://startbootstrap.com/theme/freelancer/" 
  icon = "fa-download"

[related]
  includeNewer = true
  threshold = 80
  toLower = false
[[related.indices]]
  name = 'tags'
  weight = 100
[[related.indices]]
  name = 'date'
  weight = 10

There are also some assumptions made on the content structure for this theme. I have created this with the idea of two areas posts and projects which will drive the menu, home page and content listing areas.
