## Installation
In the git repo of your zola site:
### Add the theme as a git submodule:
```bash
git submodule add https://github.com/evjrob/zola-folio themes/zola-folio
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule update --remote --merge
```
### Or clone the theme directly into your themes directory:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/evjrob/zola-folio themes/zola-folio
```
Then set `theme = "zola-folio"` in your config.toml file. You can now test the theme locally by running `zola serve` in the terminal and navigating to the localhost URL displayed by the command.
## Configuration
### Menu Bar
Items in the top menu bar can be controlled with the `extra.menu_items` setting in config.toml:
```toml
menu_items = [
{name = "about", url = "/pages/about"},
{name = "projects", url = "/pages/projects"},
{name = "photography", url = "/pages/photography"},
]
```
### About Page Social Contacts
If you have an about page, you can add social contact links using the `extra.socials` setting in the frontmatter of the page:
```toml
+++
title = "about"
template = "about.html"
[extra]
socials = [
{name = "email", uri = "mailto:you@example.com"},
{name = "github", uri = "https://github.com"},
{name = "instagram", uri = "https://www.instagram.com/"},
{name = "bluesky", uri = "https://bsky.app/"}
]
+++
```
### MathJax
MathJax can be enabled by setting `extra.math` in config.toml:
```toml
[extra]
math = true
```
[Example](https://zola-folio.pages.dev/math/).
### Search
Search using elasticlunr.js:
```toml
default_language = "en"
build_search_index = true
[search]
include_title = true
include_description = true
include_path = true
include_content = true
index_format = "elasticlunr_json"
```
### Customizable Colors
Simply set the `extra.theme_color` in the config.toml:
```toml
[extra]
theme_color = "red"|"blue"|"green"|"purple"
```
If the existing colors are not to your liking, then you can create your own by adding a **sass/color/custom.scss** file with the following:
```scss
:root {
--theme-color: #ffffff;
--theme-color-light: #ffffff;
}
```
Then set `theme_color = "custom"`.
### SEO Tags
The typical `<meta>` tags including Open Graph and Twitter are automatically set for posts using the information in the frontmatter of each post. To ensure an image is set for Open Graph and Twitter cards, please ensure the frontmatter contains the `extra.feature_image` value:
```toml
[extra]
feature_image = "my_image.ext"
```
