Chaschper

History

Chaschper is based on Casper Two, a port of the Casper, the default personal blogging theme for Ghost. A legacy version (v1.x) has already been ported to Hugo years ago.

I simplified aspects of the Casper theme (removed the two different single page styles, cleaned up partials and tried to organize things in a way that suited me better).

In addition, Chaschper features additional features:

• IndieWeb integration
• IndieAuth integration
• Webmention.io integration
• Optional Matomo analytics (see installation instructions)
• Image Galleries (see content/galleries)
• Responsive images using the {{< figure >}} shortcut (this replaces the regular Hugo figure shortcut)

Theme Demo

• invisible.ch

Installation

Inside the folder of your Hugo site run:

$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/jcfischer/hugo-chaschper.git chaschper

or if you plan to use netlify to host your site

$ git submodule add https://github.com/jcfischer/hugo-chaschper.git themes/chaschper

For more information read the official setup guide of Hugo.

Matomo setup

If you want to use Matomo, install the Matomo theme:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/holehan/hugo-components-matomo.git themes/matomo

Search

This theme has a search function. It uses DuckDuckGo for a site specific search (be sure to set the domain in config.toml)

To get DuckDuckGo to index your domain, submit it to the Yandex Webmaster Tools - after a few days, DuckDuckGo will have picked up the domain and the pages indexed by Yandex.

Image Galleries

Create a directory called "galleries" in your content directory. Add a directory for each gallery and place the images in it. Add index.md (otherwise it will not work) with a description (optional) and the following front matter:

---
title: "Scuol 2018-10-25"
date: 2018-10-25T15:26:46+01:00
tags: ["scuol", "autumn"]
type: "gallery"
---

A wonderful, sunny day in Scuol in autumn. Pictures taken during a walk down to the Inn river.

The galleries will mix in with your regular posts and there is a /galleries path that lists all of them in reverse chronological order.

Uses Fluidbox to display images.
