# Blowdit
|
|
|
|
A clean, minimal theme for [Bludit](https://www.bludit.com) inspired by the
|
|
[Blowfish](https://blowfish.page/) Hugo theme.
|
|
|
|
  
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- 🎨 **Five-theme swatch picker** — click the theme button to open a dropdown with coloured swatches for Light, Dark, Nord, Dracula and Catppuccin. Choice persists via `localStorage` + cookie (no flash on next load); falls back to OS preference.
|
|
- 🧱 **Monochrome base design** — restrained grayscale palette with crisp Inter typography.
|
|
- 👤 **Profile hero** — circular avatar, site title, slogan and social links on the homepage front page.
|
|
- 📖 **Sticky Table of Contents** — articles that contain headings (`h2`/`h3`/`h4`) get a left sidebar ToC that sticks while scrolling and highlights the active section. Layout automatically switches to 3-column with a wider container.
|
|
- 📚 **Smart right sidebar** — shows only About / Categories / Hit Counter on the homepage (navigation is redundant there); shows the full plugin set on article pages.
|
|
- 🔀 **Randomized navigation** — the Navigation/Pages plugin list is shuffled on each load.
|
|
- ⏱️ **Reading time & dates** shown on the post list and single posts.
|
|
- 🔗 **Social icons** in the navbar and hero (SVG files in `img/`).
|
|
- 🏷️ **Tags & categories** rendered as pill badges.
|
|
- 🖼️ **Image lightbox** — clicking any article image opens it full-screen. A dark overlay with a magnifier icon appears on hover to hint at the interaction. Closes on click or Esc.
|
|
- 🎠 **Image carousel** — use a ` ```carousel ` fenced block, one image per line (markdown image syntax or plain URL).
|
|
- 📑 **Tabbed code blocks** — use a ` ```tabs ` fenced block with `[Tab Name]` or `@tab Name` headers to show content from multiple servers/environments side by side.
|
|
- 📜 **Code block scrollbar** — always-visible horizontal scrollbar on `<pre>` blocks with a custom slim style that respects the active theme.
|
|
- 📱 Fully responsive; no flash of the wrong theme on load.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Download or clone this repository into your Bludit `bl-themes` directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/usr/share/nginx/html/bl-themes/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. In the Bludit admin panel go to **Settings → Themes** and activate **Blowdit**.
|
|
|
|
3. Add your assets to `blowdit/img/`:
|
|
- Your avatar as `spleenftw.jpeg` — used in the homepage hero and the article sidebar compact card.
|
|
To change the filename, update `php/sidebar.php` and `php/home.php`.
|
|
|
|

|
## Themes
|
|
|
|
Each theme is a set of CSS custom properties. Light lives in `:root`; the others
|
|
override it under `[data-theme="dark"]`, `[data-theme="nord"]`,
|
|
`[data-theme="dracula"]` and `[data-theme="catppuccin"]`.
|
|
|
|
The attribute is set on `<html>` before the first paint (in `php/head.php`) to
|
|
avoid a flash. The navbar swatch picker updates it at runtime and persists the
|
|
choice to both `localStorage` and a cookie.
|
|
|
|
To add a new theme, add a variable block in `css/style.css` and add the theme
|
|
name + swatch colours to the picker in `php/navbar.php` and the `THEMES` array
|
|
in `index.php`.
|
|
|
|
## Table of Contents
|
|
|
|
When an article's rendered HTML contains any `h2`, `h3` or `h4` headings, the
|
|
layout automatically switches from 2-column to 3-column:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[ Left ToC (col-md-3) ] [ Article (col-md-6) ] [ Right sidebar (col-md-3) ]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The ToC is hidden on mobile. The left column has no `align-self-start` so it
|
|
stretches to the full article height, which is what `position: sticky` needs to
|
|
function. The container switches to `.container-wide` (1400 px max-width) and
|
|
the navbar inner container widens to match via `body.has-toc .navbar .container`.
|
|
|
|
## Tabbed code blocks
|
|
|
|
Use a ` ```tabs ` fenced block. Delimit tabs with `[Tab Name]` (brackets) or
|
|
`@tab Tab Name` (@ prefix):
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
```tabs
|
|
[pgs01]
|
|
root@pgs01:~# psql -c "SELECT …"
|
|
|
|
[pgs02]
|
|
root@pgs02:~# psql -c "SELECT …"
|
|
```
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
## Image carousel
|
|
|
|
Use a ` ```carousel ` fenced block. Each non-empty line is one slide. Accepts
|
|
standard markdown image syntax or a bare URL with an optional `| caption`:
|
|
|
|
````
|
|
```carousel
|
|

|
|

|
|
```
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Use `![]()` (empty alt) to show no caption. Supports swipe on touch devices.
|
|
|
|
## Randomized navigation
|
|
|
|
If the **Navigation** (or **Pages**) plugin is in the sidebar, its list is
|
|
shuffled on every page load. The plugin output is wrapped in `.js-random-nav`;
|
|
adjust the detection in `index.php` if your plugin uses a different class.
