Blowfish è un tema altamente personalizzabile e utilizza alcune delle più recenti funzionalità di Hugo per semplificarne la configurazione.
Il tema viene fornito con una configurazione predefinita che ti consente di essere operativo con un blog di base o un sito Web statico.
We just launched a CLI tool to help you get started with Blowfish. It will help you with installation and configuration. Install the CLI tool globally using:
npx blowfish-tools
I file di configurazione forniti con il tema sono forniti in formato TOML dato che questa è la sintassi predefinita di Hugo. Sentiti libero di convertire la tua configurazione in YAML o JSON se lo desideri.
La configurazione predefinita del tema è documentata in ogni file in modo da poter regolare liberamente le impostazioni per soddisfare le proprie esigenze.
As outlined in the installation instructions, you should adjust your theme configuration by modifying the files in the
config/_default/ folder of your Hugo project and delete the config.toml file in your project root.Configurazioni del sito#
Standard Hugo configuration variables are respected throughout the theme, however there are some specific things that should be configured for the best experience.
La configurazione del sito viene gestita tramite il file config/_default/config.toml. La tabella seguente descrive tutte le impostazioni di cui si avvale Blowfish.
Tieni presente che i nomi delle variabili forniti in questa tabella utilizzano il punto per semplificare la struttura dei dati TOML (ad esempio, “outputs.home” si riferisce a “[outputs] home”).
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
theme | "blowfish" | Quando si utilizzano i moduli Hugo, questo valore di configurazione deve essere rimosso. Per tutti gli altri tipi di installazione, questo deve essere impostato su “blowfish” affinché il tema funzioni. |
baseURL | Not set | The URL to the root of the website. |
defaultContentLanguage | "en" | This value determines the default language of theme components and content. Refer to the language and i18n section below for supported language codes. |
enableRobotsTXT | true | Se abilitato, verrà creato un file “robots.txt” nella radice del sito che consentirà ai motori di ricerca di eseguire la scansione dell’intero sito. Se preferisci fornire il tuo file robots.txt predefinito, impostalo su false e posiziona il file nella directory static. Per un controllo completo, puoi fornire un layout personalizzato per generare questo file. |
pagination.pagerSize | 10 | Il numero di articoli elencati in ciascuna pagina dell’elenco degli articoli. |
summaryLength | 0 | Il numero di parole utilizzate per generare il riepilogo dell’articolo quando non ne viene fornita una nella front matter. Un valore pari a “0” utilizzerà la prima frase. Questo valore non ha effetto quando i riepiloghi sono nascosti. |
outputs.home | ["HTML", "RSS", "JSON"] | I formati di output generati per il sito. Blowfish richiede HTML, RSS e JSON affinché tutti i componenti del tema funzionino correttamente. |
permalinks | Not set | Fare riferimento alla documentazione di Hugo per la configurazione del permalink. |
taxonomies | Not set | Fare riferimento alla sezione Organizzazione dei contenuti per la configurazione della tassonomia. |
Thumbnails#
Blowfish è stato creato in modo che sia facile aggiungere supporto visivo ai tuoi articoli. Se hai familiarità con la struttura degli articoli di Hugo, devi solo inserire un file immagine (quasi tutti i formati sono supportati ma consigliamo .png o .jpg) che inizi con feature* all’interno della cartella dell’articolo. E questo è tutto, Blowfish sarà quindi in grado di utilizzare l’immagine sia come miniatura all’interno del tuo sito web sia per le schede oEmbed su piattaforme sociali.
Qui c’è anche una guida con maggiori informazioni e un esempio se vuoi vedere come puoi farlo.
Lingua e i18n#
Blowfish è ottimizzato per siti Web multilingue completi e le risorse tematiche sono tradotte in diverse lingue immediatamente. La configurazione della lingua ti consente di generare più versioni dei tuoi contenuti per fornire un’esperienza personalizzata ai tuoi visitatori nella loro lingua madre.
Il tema attualmente supporta le seguenti lingue per impostazione predefinita:
| Language | Code |
|---|---|
| Arabic | ar |
| Bulgarian | bg |
| Bengali | bn |
| Catalan | ca |
| Czech | cs |
| German | de |
| English | en |
| Esperanto | eo |
| Spanish (Spain) | es |
| Finnish | fi |
| French | fr |
| Hebrew | he |
| Croatian | hr |
| Hungarian | hu |
| Indonesian | id |
| Italian | it |
| Japanese | ja |
| Korean | ko |
| Dutch | nl |
| Polish | pl |
| Portuguese (Brazil) | pt-br |
| Portuguese (Portugal) | pt-pt |
| Romanian | ro |
| Russian | ru |
| Turkish | tr |
| Vietnamese | vi |
| Ukrainian | uk |
| Simplified Chinese (China) | zh-cn |
| Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) | zh-tw |
Le traduzioni predefinite possono essere sovrascritte creando un file personalizzato in “i18n/[code].yaml” che contiene le stringhe di traduzione. Puoi anche utilizzare questo metodo per aggiungere nuove lingue. Se desideri condividere una nuova traduzione con la community, apri una richiesta pull.
Configurazione#
Per essere il più flessibili possibile, è necessario creare un file di configurazione lingua per ciascuna lingua sul sito web. Per impostazione predefinita Blowfish include una configurazione della lingua inglese in config/_default/linguals.en.toml.
Il file predefinito può essere utilizzato come modello per creare lingue aggiuntive o rinominato se desideri creare il tuo sito web in una lingua diversa dall’inglese. Basta nominare il file utilizzando il formato “lingue.[language-code].toml”.
Nota: assicurati che il parametro
defaultContentLanguage nella configurazione del sito corrisponda al codice della lingua nel nome del file di configurazione della lingua.Globale#
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
languageCode | "en" | Il codice della lingua Hugo per questo file. Può essere una lingua di livello superiore (ad esempio “en”) o una variante secondaria (ad esempio “en-au”) e deve corrispondere al codice della lingua nel nome del file. Hugo si aspetta che questo valore sia sempre in minuscolo. Per una corretta conformità HTML, imposta il parametro “isoCode” che fa distinzione tra maiuscole e minuscole. |
languageName | "English" | Il nome della lingua. |
weight | 1 | Il peso determina l’ordine delle lingue durante la creazione di siti multilingue. |
title | "Blowfish" | Il titolo del sito web. Questo verrà visualizzato nell’intestazione e nel piè di pagina del sito. |
Parametri#
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
params.displayName | "EN" | Il nome utilizzato quando la lingua appare sul sito web. |
params.isoCode | "en" | Il codice della lingua ISO per scopi di metadati HTML. Può essere una lingua di livello superiore (es. en) o una sottovariante (es. en-AU). |
params.rtl | false | Se si tratta o meno di un linguaggio RTL. Imposta su “true” per ridisporre il contenuto da destra a sinistra. Blowfish supporta pienamente l’uso simultaneo dei linguaggi RTL e LTR e si adatterà dinamicamente ad entrambi. |
params.dateFormat | "2 January 2006" | Come vengono formattate le date in questa lingua. Fare riferimento alla documentazione di Hugo per i formati accettabili. |
params.logo | Not set | Il percorso relativo al file del logo del sito all’interno della cartella “assets/”. Il file del logo deve essere fornito con una risoluzione 2x e supporta qualsiasi dimensione dell’immagine. |
params.secondaryLogo | Not set | The relative path to the secondary site logo file within the assets/ folder. The logo file should be provided at 2x resolution and supports any image dimensions.

params.description | Not set | The website description. This will be used in the site metadata. |

The order that the links are displayed is determined by the order they appear in the array. Custom links can be added by providing corresponding SVG icon assets in assets/icons/. |
Menus#
Blowfish also supports language-specific menu configurations. Menu config files follow the same naming format as the languages file. Simply provide the language code in the file name to tell Hugo which language the file relates to.
Menu config files are named with the format menus.[language-code].toml. Always ensure that the language code used in the menus configuration matches the languages configuration.
The Getting Started section explains more about the structure of this file. You can also refer to the Hugo menu docs for more configuration examples.

Always ensure this file is present in the config directory and that the required values are set. Failure to do so may cause certain features to function incorrectly and could result in unintended behaviour.
