FiNAN Puls - Source Theme

Custom Ghost theme for the FiNAN Puls website, based on the official Ghost Source theme.

Forked from TryGhost/Source with extensive customizations for FiNAN Puls branding and features.

 

About This Theme

Ghost uses a simple templating language called Handlebars for its themes.

This theme has lots of code comments to help explain what's going on just by reading the code. Once you feel comfortable with how everything works, we also have full theme API documentation which explains every possible Handlebars helper and template.

The main files are:

• default.hbs - The parent template file, which includes your global header/footer
• home.hbs - The homepage
• index.hbs - The main template to generate a list of posts
• post.hbs - The template used to render individual posts
• page.hbs - Used for individual pages
• tag.hbs - Used for tag archives, eg. "all posts tagged with news"
• author.hbs - Used for author archives, eg. "all posts written by Jamie"

One neat trick is that you can also create custom one-off templates by adding the slug of a page to a template file. For example:

• page-about.hbs - Custom template for an /about/ page
• tag-news.hbs - Custom template for /tag/news/ archive
• author-ali.hbs - Custom template for /author/ali/ archive

Development

Styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS. You'll need Node (v22.21.1), Yarn and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

# install dependencies
yarn install

# run development server with live reload
yarn dev

# build assets only
gulp build

# validate theme with gscan
yarn test

# create .zip file for Ghost upload
yarn zip

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

Note: Always run yarn test before committing changes to ensure theme validation passes.

PostCSS Features Used

• Autoprefixer - Don't worry about writing browser prefixes of any kind, it's all done automatically with support for the latest 2 major versions of every browser.

SVG Icons

Source uses inline SVG icons, included via Handlebars partials. You can find all icons inside /partials/icons. To use an icon just include the name of the relevant file, eg. To include the SVG icon in /partials/icons/rss.hbs - use {{> "icons/rss"}}.

You can add your own SVG icons in the same manner.
