# Hugo Future Imperfect

Future Imperfect is a responsive theme tailored for blogging. The name is of no
coincidence, because it is a port of [HTML5 UP's theme](http://html5up.net/future-imperfect)
by the same name. In addition to the original features, there are more features
that have been added for you to utilize.

## Getting Started

Run the following commands in your Hugo site directory:

```
mkdir themes
cd themes
git clone https://github.com/jpescador/hugo-future-imperfect.git
```

You will then have access to the theme at _themes/hugo-future-imperfect_ from within
your project folder.

### exampleSite

Within the hugo-future-imperfect folder, there will be a folder in this theme called
_exampleSite_. The structure of the folder will look like this:

```
exampleSite
├── config.toml
├── staticman.yml
├── content
|   ├── about
|   |   └── _index.md
|   ├── blog
|   │   ├── creating-a-new-theme.md
|   │   ├── goisforlovers.md
|   │   ├── hugoisforlovers.md
|   │   └── migrate-from-jekyll.md
|   ├── contact
|   │   └── _index.md
|   └── itemized
|       ├── item1.md
|       ├── item2.md
|       ├── item3.md
|       └── item4.md
├── data
│   └── comments
│       └── .gitkeep
└── static
    ├── css
    │   └── add-on.css
    ├── img
    |   ├── 2014
    |   |   ├── 04
    |   |   |   ├── pic02.jpg
    |   |   |   └── pic03.jpg
    |   |   └── 09
    |   |       └── pic01.jpg
    |   └── main
    |       └── logo.jpg
    └── js
        └── add-on.js
```

Copy _config.toml_ from _exampleSite_ to the root directory of your Hugo site.
If you want static comments hosted by [Staticman](https://staticman.net/), also
copy the _staticman.yml_.

### config.toml

This file is the main sorce of customization within the theme. Each parameter has
a comment included to explain its functionality. Typical usage of _true_ means to
turn a function on, while _false_ means to turn a function off.

This file consists of six main sections. The first section contains the site wide
parameters innate to Hugo. The second section, _[params]_, contains site wide
parameter that are custom to the _hugo-future-imperfect_ theme. The third section,
_[params.staticman]_ controls how staticman comments interact with your repository.
The fourth section, _[params.intro]_ and _[params.postAmount]_, control aspects
of the sidebar. The fifth section, _[[menu.main]]_, sets the navigation menu items.
Lastly, the sixth section, _[social]_, allows you to easily link to, and include,
various social platforms.

### Hugo's Built-In Server

Run the following command to start a local server and to view a live version of
the website:

```
hugo server
```

You will then be able to view your live website at [localhost:1313](http://localhost:1313).

## Shortcodes
In addition to the native [Hugo shortcodes](https://gohugo.io/extras/shortcodes/),
the theme also includes the following codes that I hope you find useful:
fancybox, img-post, img-fit, and url-link.

### fancybox
[Fancybox](http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/3/) is a jQuery lightbox script for displaying images, videos and more. It is touch
enabled, responsive and fully customizable. The commands are shown below:

**Named**
```
{{< fancybox path="path" file="file" caption="caption" gallery="gallery" >}}
```

**Positional**
```
{{< fancybox "path" "file" "caption" "gallery" >}}
```

Please refer to _layouts/shortcodes/fancybox.html_ for more details on the function.

### img-post
Add an image which can be aligned center, left, or right. The commands are shown
below:

**Named**
```
{{< img-post path="date" file="filename.jpg" alt="Alt Text" type="left" >}}
```

**Positional**
```
{{< img-post "title" "filename.jpg" "Alt Text" "left" >}}
```

Please refer to _layouts/shortcodes/img-post.html_ for more details on the function.

is shown below:

        "4u" "filename2.jpg" "Alt text 2"
        "4u$" "filename3.jpg" "Alt text 3"
        "date" >}}
```

`_blank`. The command is shown below:
