# Ethereal - Jekyll template > An augmented version of the "Ethereal" theme by [HTML5 UP][html5up], ported to Jekyll. :rainbow: You can preview the theme [here](https://moodule.github.io/jekyll-theme-ethereal) ![Ethereal Theme](assets/images/screenshot.jpg "Ethereal Theme") # Features > **Responsive**: out of the box support for all screen sizes, be it smartphones, laptops, tablets... > **Multilingual**: easily manage pages, menu, url, dates, sitemap in several languages > **Customizable**: theme colors, header, banner, menu, social items can be changed from a central config file > **Many templates**: contact forms, galleries, and others can be easily inserted thanks to custom Jekyll includes > **Vector images**: the theme images are vectorized, render smoothly on any display and can be dynamically styled > **GDPR ready**: bundled with a cookie consent plugin and a boilerplate privacy policy compliant with GDPR > **SEO ready**: sitemap, robots.txt and tags are automatically generated for the website > **Light**: svg images, thumbs and lazy loading for raster images, few libraries > **Hardened**: form validation, recaptcha, verified libraries # Installation Add this line to your Jekyll site's `Gemfile`: ```ruby gem "jekyll-theme-ethereal" ``` And add this line to your Jekyll site's `_config.yml`: ```yaml theme: jekyll-theme-ethereal ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install jekyll-theme-ethereal # Usage For those unfamiliar with how Jekyll works, check out [jekyllrb.com](https://jekyllrb.com/) for all the details, or read up on just the basics of [front matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/), [writing posts](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/), and [creating pages](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/pages/). ## Initialization Copy the file `_config.yml` from the theme repository to the root of your website folder tree. The following section explains what the settings impact and how to configure `_config.yml` properly. ## Configuration You can use the following custom parameters in `_config.yml`. ### Site Both `title` and `subtitle` are displayed side by side : - in the tab name - at the top of the page, in the header ### Social Social icons will appear for each url your fill in, among `facebook_url` etc. ### Contact Your contact information can be used in contact forms, the footer or anywhere else. ### Recaptcha The contact form is validated using [google's recaptcha plugin][recaptcha-documentation]. First, you need to [sign your website up] to enable the plugin. Google will provide you with a **client-side integration key**: copy it to `_config.yml` under `recaptcha.sitekey`. ## Publication ### On Github Pages In your own website's repository, edit the `_config.yml` file: ```yaml url: "https://.github.io/" ``` Build the website with: $ JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build Commit all your work to the current branch. Create a branch named `gh-pages`: $ git checkout -b gh-pages And finally replace the repository's content with the generated webpages: $ mkdir ~/backup $ mv ./* ~/backup/ $ mv ~/backup/.git ./ $ mv ~/backup/_site/* ./ $ git add . $ git commit -m "First draft" The repository's content is backup in the home directory of the user. And finally push to github $ git push --u origin gh-pages ### On any server In your own website's directory, edit the `_config.yml` file: ```yaml url: "https:" ``` Build the website with: $ JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build Copy the content of the folder `_site` to your server, most likely in `www`. If necessary, configure your server to serve this directory. # Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/moodule/jekyll-theme-ethereal. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the [Contributor Covenant][contributor-covenant] code of conduct. # Development To set up your environment to develop this theme, run `bundle install`. Your theme is setup just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run `bundle exec jekyll serve` and open your browser at `http://localhost:4000`. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal. When your theme is released, only the files in `_layouts`, `_includes`, `_sass` and `assets` tracked with Git will be bundled. To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in `jekyll-theme-ethereal.gemspec` accordingly. # Credits Original README from HTML5 UP: ``` Ethereal by HTML5 UP html5up.net | @ajlkn Free for personal and commercial use under the CCA 3.0 license (html5up.net/license) This is Ethereal, my latest, greatest, and quite possibly most unique template for HTML5 UP. Since releasing Parallelism 3-4 years ago (!!!), I've been dying to do another side-scrolling template with more in the way of flexibility/customization potential. The result is this template, Ethereal, which combines a robust side-scrolling framework of my own creation (with various "scroll-assist" features like drag/momentum scrolling, keyboard shortcuts, etc.) with a unique look and feel, a lightbox gallery, tons of customization options, and, of course, full responsiveness. Hope you dig it :) Demo images* courtesy of Unsplash, a radtastic collection of CC0 (public domain) images you can use for pretty much whatever. (* = not included) AJ aj@lkn.io | @ajlkn Instructions: Overview ======== Browsers deal with side-scrolling pages differently to vertically-oriented ones in that they require elements (or at the very least, the top-most wrapper element) to have a defined (fixed) width. This leads to a number of limitations (eg. the page won't automatically grow/shrink in the same way a vertically-oriented one will), so Ethereal does two things to work around this: - The entire page is made up of "panel" elements, each of which can be assigned an optional "size" modifier (satisfying the fixed width requirement). - For panels that don't use a size modifier, individual containing elements *inside* them (eg. a column) can be assigned a "span" modifier to give those a fixed width instead (also satisfying the fixed width requirement). Another fun quirk of side-scrolling pages is how to actually implement horizontal scrolling *without* resorting to using the (usually ugly) horizontal scrollbar. Ethereal does this in FOUR (!) ways: - Dragging: Users can simply click and drag the page left or right to scroll it around. This works exactly as you'd expect, and even has a nice "post-scroll momentum" effect. - Scroll Wheel: Ethereal modifies* the scroll wheel's behavior to translate vertical scrolling into horizontal scrolling, allowing the user to use either the scroll wheel or trackpad to scroll the page (the latter of which retains the ability to horziontally scroll as normal, so nothing changes there). * Special thanks to @miorel + @pieterv of Facebook for "normalizeWheel()" :) - Scroll Zones: Users can hover the mouse cursor on the left or right edges of the page to automatically scroll in either direction. - Keyboard Shortcuts: Finally, users can simply use the left/right arrows, page up/down, home/end, and the spacebar to scroll the page. Note that any (or all) of these scroll-assist features can be turned off (and in some cases customized). See the top of assets/js/main.js for more information. Span Modifiers ============== Span modifiers are simply classes that give elements a fixed width, the size of which is determined by the "unit value" associated with the modifier (eg. "span-3" means "span 3 units"). These sizes are in "rem" units when used inside panels that don't use a size modifier, and in percentage units when used inside panels that do. Ethereal includes span modifiers ranging from 0.25 units ("span-0-25") to 10 units ("span-10"). Here's a partial list: span-0-25 Span 0.25 units. span-0-5 Span 0.5 units. span-0-75 Span 0.75 units. span-1 Span 1 unit. span-1-25 Span 1.25 units. span-1-5 Span 1.5 units. span-1-75 Span 1.75 units. ... span-9 Span 9 units. span-9-25 Span 9.25 units. span-9-5 Span 9.5 units. span-9-75 Span 9.75 units. span-10 Span 10 units. Major Elements ============== Most of Ethereal's elements are pretty much what you'd expect, but there are a handful of "major" ones that warrant a bit more explanation: Panel ------ The primary building block of Ethereal. HTML
(intro content)
(inner content)
Note: The entire "intro" child element can be excluded. Note: You can have as many "intro" and "inner" child elements as you like. Modifiers Size small Use small size. medium Use medium size. large Use large size. Color color0 Use background color 0 (gradient). color1 Use background color 1. color2 Use background color 2. color3 Use background color 3. color4 Use background color 4. color1-alt Use background color 1 (alt). color2-alt Use background color 2 (alt). color3-alt Use background color 3 (alt). color4-alt Use background color 4 (alt). Inner columns Divides child elements into columns. aligned When used with "columns", aligns content to top of panel. divided When used with "columns", separates each column with a vertical line. Examples Here's a very basic example:

Panel

Just a generic panel.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

And here's a more advanced example using columns and *no* size modifier:

Panel

Just a generic panel.

This column is 4 units wide.

This column is 3 units wide.

This column is 2 units wide.

Note: The "intro" child element already has a fixed width, so a span modifier isn't required. Panel (Banner) -------------- The "Banner" variant of a regular panel. HTML Modifiers Orientation left Content on the left, image on the right. right Content on the right, image on the left. Image filtered Applies a gradient filter to the image. tinted Applies a tint filter to the image. Image Position (required) top left Position image in the top-left corner. top Position image along the top edge. top right Position image in the top-right corner. right Position image along the right edge. bottom right Position image in the bottom-right corner. bottom Position image along the bottom edge. bottom left Position image in the bottom-left corner. left Position image along the left edge. center Position image in the center.
