Remi Marenco -- Jekyll Theme (originally made by Jack614)

Remi Marenco's Personal Website.

http://marenco.remionramp.com

This is a simple, beautiful and swift theme for Jekyll. It's mobile first, fluidly responsive, and delightfully lightweight.

It's pretty minimal, but leverages large type and drastic contrast to make a statement, on all devices.

The landing page of the blog is bilingual page.

If you like this Jekyll theme, please give me encouragement and star this project, I will make it better.

Getting Started

If you're completely new to Jekyll, I recommend checking out the documentation at http://jekyllrb.com or there's a tutorial by Smashing Magazine.

Fork, then clone

Fork the repo, and then clone it so you've got the code locally.

$ git clone https://github.com/<your githubname>/jalpc_jekyll_theme.git
$ cd jalpc_jekyll_theme
$ gem install jekyll # If you don't have jekyll installed
$ rm -rf _site && jekyll server

Modify the _config.yml

The _config.yml located in the root of the jalpc_jekyll_theme directory contains all of the configuration details for the Jekyll site. The defaults are:

# Welcome to Jekyll!

# Site settings
title: "Remi Marenco"    ### Website title

baseurl: "/"      ### Some links refer to this
url: "http://www.marenco.remionramp.com"     ### This is for product environment
# url: "http://127.0.0.1:4000"    ### This is used for debug 

# author
author:
  name: 'Remi Marenco'
  first_name: 'Remi'
  last_name: 'Marenco'
  email: '[email protected]'
  facebook_username: 'remi.marenco'
  github_username: 'remimarenco'
  head_img: 'static/img/landing/Remi.jpg'

# landing page
landing:
  home: 'Home'
  about: 'About'
  career: 'Career'
  skills: 'Skills'
  blog: 'Blog'
  contact: 'Contact'

...

Jekyll Serve

Then, start the Jekyll Server. I always like to give the --watch option so it updates the generated HTML when I make changes.

$ jekyll serve --watch

Now you can navigate to localhost:4000 in your browser to see the site.

Using Github Pages

You can host your Jekyll site for free with Github Pages. Click here for more information.

A configuration tweak if you're using a gh-pages sub-folder

In addition to your github-username.github.io repo that maps to the root url, you can serve up sites by using a gh-pages branch for other repos so they're available at github-username.github.io/repo-name.

This will require you to modify the _config.yml like so:

# Welcome to Jekyll!

# Site settings
title: Repo Name

baseurl: "/"
url: "http://github-username.github.io"
# url: "http://127.0.0.1:4000"

# author
author:
  name: nickname
  first_name: firstname
  last_name: lastname
  email: [email protected]
  facebook_username: facebook_example
  github_username: 'github_example
  head_img: 'path/of/head/img'

# landing page
landing:
  home: landing-1
  about: landing-2
  career: landing-3
  skills: landing-4
  blog: landing-5
  contact: landing-6

# blog index
index:
  home: index-1
  python: index-2
  linux: index-3
  html: index-4
  database: index-5
  mac: index-6
  life: index-7

# blog img path
img_path: '/path/of/blog/img/'

If you start server on localhost, you can turn on # url: "http://127.0.0.1:4000".

Pagination

The pagination in jekyll is not very perfect,so I use front-end web method,there is a blog about the method and you can refer to jPages.

Bilingual Page

The landing page of the blog is bilingual page,when you click national flag,the page language changes.The fllowing is how to set up bilingual page.

Step 1

To add i18 support for your app you need to define what text you would like to translate. The best way to define your text is to store it in external json file. For example:

Each language you should have own json file!

en.json

{
  "website":{
    "title": "Jalpc"
  },
  "nav":{
    "home": "Home",
    "about_me": "About",
    "skills": "Skills",
    "career": "Career",
    "blog": "Blog",
    "contact": "Contact"
  }
}

cn.json

{
  "website":{
    "title": "Site de Remi Marenco"
  },
  "nav":{
    "home": "Accueil",
    "about_me": "À propos",
    "skills": "Compétences",
    "projects": "Projets",
    "career": "Carrière",
    "blog": "Blog",
    "contact": "Contact"
}

Step 2

Next you need to add html indicators in all place you want to use i18.(index.html)

<a class="navbar-brand" href="#page-top" id="i18_title"><span data-i18n="website.title">{{ site.title }}</span></a>

Step 3

Next you need to initialise the i18next plugin: json files are located in static/locales folder.

$.i18n.init(
    resGetPath: 'locales/__lng__.json',
    load: 'unspecific',
    fallbackLng: false,
    lng: 'en'
}, function (t)
    $('#i18_title').i18n();
});

Step 4

After that if you want to change the language you just need to add buttons and fire the i18n.setLng() function.

HTML markup

<a class="btn btn-sm set_en"><img src="{{"static/img/flags/64/United-States.png"| prepend: site.baseurl }}" height="16px" width="16px"></a>
<a class="btn btn-sm set_cn"><img src="{{"static/img/flags/64/France.png"| prepend: site.baseurl }}" height="16px" width="16px"></a>

Javascript code

$('.set_en').on('click', function (){
    i18n.setLng('en', function(){

        $('#i18_title').i18n();

   });
});

$('.set_cn').on('click', function (){
    i18n.setLng('cn', function(){

        $('#i18_title').i18n();

    });
});

Link: i18next

Web analytics

I use Baidu analytics and Google analytics to do web analytics, you can choose either to realize it,just register a account and replace id in _config.yml.

Comment

I use Changyan and Disqus to realize comment.

Changyan

To configure Changyan, get the appid and conf in http://changyan.kuaizhan.com/. Then, in _config.yml, edit the changyan value to enable Changyan.

Disqus

To configure Disqus,you should set disqus_shortname and get public key and then, in _config.yml, edit the disqus value to enable Disqus.

Share

I use bshare to share my blog on other social network platform. You can register a count and get your share uuid.

Search engines

I use javascript to realize blog search,you can double click Ctrl or click the icon at lower right corner of the page,the detail you can got to this repo: https://github.com/androiddevelop/jekyll-search.

Just use it.

CNAME

Replace your website domain in CNAME file.

Put in a Jalpc Plug

If you want to give credit to the Jalpc theme with a link to my personal website http://www.jack003.com, that'd be awesome. No worries if you don't.

Enjoy

I hope you enjoy using Jalpc. If you encounter any issues, please feel free to let me know by creating an issue. I'd love to help.

Upgrading this template

This website or Jalpc (the original repo) is always being improved by its users, so sometimes one may need to upgrade.

Ensure there's an upstream remote

If git remote -v doesn't have an upstream listed, you can do the following to add it:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/johnotander/pixyll.git

Pull in the latest changes

git pull upstream master

There may be merge conflicts, so be sure to fix the files that git lists if they occur. That's it!
