DPSG Hugo Theme

DPSG is a responsive, simple, clean and content-focused Hugo theme that imitates the official Wordpess theme featured by the DPSG German scout association. It's forked from the Mainroad Hugo theme.

The reference implementation is visible on the website of DPSG Stamm Bruder Klaus Konstanz.

Sidebar

Hugo DPSG comes with a configurable sidebar that can be on the left, on the right, or disabled. The default layout can be specified in the [Params.sidebar] section of the configuration. The position can be specified for home, list and single pages individually. Use the keys home, list and single with values "left", "right" or false. The layout can be configured per page, by setting the sidebar parameter with one of the same values in the page's front matter.

The sidebar consists of multiple widgets. Widgets can be enabled individually using the widgets key with a list of widget names as value. You can add your own widgets, by placing a template under layouts/partials/widgets/<name>.html. The list of widgets can be overwritten from a page's front matter.

Some widget respect optional configuration. Have a look at the [Params.widgets] and [Params.widgets.social] sections in the example configuration above.

Menus

Hugo DPSG supports multiple menus. The main menu is fully responsive and displayed right under the site header. The secondary menus side and footer are displayed in a sidebar widget and the page footer. To add a page to a menu, add a `menu:

` parameter to the page's front matter: 
menu: main # Add page to a main menu

You can also add a page to multiple menus by providing a list:

menu: ["main", "side", "footer"] # Add page to a main, side, and footer menu

Note: Don't forget to enable the sidemenu widget in the widgets configuration param if you want to use the side menu.

Note: Please keep in mind that the menus don't support nested items i.e. submenus.

Social Widget: custom links

Hugo DPSG contains built-in social links in the social widget. In addition, you can also set custom social links by adding Params.widgets.social.custom to your config.toml. Here is an example.

[[Params.widgets.social.custom]]
  title = "Youtube"
  url = "https://youtube.com/user/username"
  icon = "youtube.svg"

Note: You need to put your icon file in layouts/partials directory under your project's root if you want to display an icon of your social link. The icon field, which is optional, should be a path relative to layouts/partials.

Note: Only SVG files are supported to be used as custom social icons in the current version. If you use any files of another format, PNG for example, a compile error will be raised by Hugo.

Note: Not every SVG icon can be used. For better results, it should be one-color SVG file with a special class attribute {{ with .class }}{{ . }} {{ end }} and 24x24 size. At a minimum, custom SVG icon needs these attributes:

<svg class="{{ with .class }}{{ . }} {{ end }} icon" width="24" height="24">...</svg>
