Template Details

This repository is the Zola theme used by the fishfolk website. The README indicates its content is AdiDoks—a documentation-oriented theme ported to Zola from the Hugo theme Doks. The theme targets static sites that need to host both documentation and a blog: content is divided into three page types—blog, docs, and authors—with each section organized via _index.md, and homepage content configured in content/_index.md.

Configuration is centralized in config.toml: under [extra], you can set the language code, theme color, title separator and homepage title suffix, time format and timezone, whether to show an edit-page link pointing to the GitHub repository, KaTeX or MathJax math libraries, as well as Open Graph/Twitter Cards, JSON-LD, the top main menu and social links, footer content, and footer navigation. At the site level, the authors taxonomy and search index can also be enabled. Templates all inherit from base.html and can be modified as needed.

The prerequisite is a local installation of Zola 0.15.0 or higher. The repository itself is a theme rather than a complete deployable site; you must first run zola init to create a site, then place the theme in the themes directory (clone or add as a git submodule), set theme in config.toml, and optionally copy the example configuration and content directory. The repository has few stars, was last updated in 2023, and uses the MIT license; the demo site and documentation are on adidoks-related domains, and third-party assets require separate license verification.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies HTML as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

# Zola Theme AdiDoks

AdiDoks is a modern documentation theme, which is a port of the Hugo
theme [Doks](https://github.com/h-enk/doks) for Zola.

## Demo

[Live Preview](https://adidoks.netlify.app/).

## Requirements

Before using the theme, you need to install the [Zola](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/getting-started/installation/) ≥ 0.15.0.

## Quick Start

```bash
git clone https://github.com/aaranxu/adidoks.git
cd adidoks
zola serve
# open http://127.0.0.1:1111/ in the browser
```

Read more from [the document of the AdiDoks](https://adidoks.org/docs/getting-started/introduction/).

## Installation

Just earlier we showed you how to run the theme directly. Now we start to
install the theme in an existing site step by step.

### Step 1: Create a new zola site

```bash
zola init mysite
```

### Step 2: Install AdiDoks

Download this theme to your themes directory:

```bash
cd mysite/themes
git clone https://github.com/aaranxu/adidoks.git
```

Or install as a submodule:

```bash
cd mysite
git init  # if your project is a git repository already, ignore this command
git submodule add https://github.com/aaranxu/adidoks.git themes/adidoks
```

### Step 3: Configuration

Enable the theme in your `config.toml` in the site directory:

```toml
theme = "adidoks"
```

Or copy the `config.toml.example` from the theme directory to your project's
root directory:

```bash
cp themes/adidoks/config.toml.example config.toml
```

### Step 4: Add new content

You can copy the content from the theme directory to your project:

```bash
cp -r themes/adidoks/content .
```

You can modify or add new posts in the `content/blog`, `content/docs` or other
content directories as needed.

### Step 5: Run the project

Just run `zola serve` in the root path of the project:

```bash
zola serve
```

AdiDoks will start the Zola development web server accessible by default at
`http://127.0.0.1:1111`. Saved changes will live reload in the browser.

## Customisation

You can customize your configurations, templates and content for yourself. Look
at the `config.toml`, `theme.toml`, `content` files and templates files in this
repo for an idea.

### Global Configuration

There are some configuration options that you can customize in `config.toml`.

#### Configuration options before `extra` options

Set the authors's taxonomies for the site.

```toml
taxonomies = [
  {name = "authors"},
]
```

Use search function for the content.

```toml
build_search_index = true
```

#### Configuration options under the `extra`

The following options should be under the `[extra]` in `config.toml`

- `language_code` - set HTML file language (default to `en-US`)
- `theme_color` - your site's HTML color (default to `#fff`)
- `title_separator` - the separator to your site title, like `|` and `-` (defaults to `|`)
- `title_addition` - the additon content for the title of the homepage
- `timeformat` - the timeformat for the blog article published date
- `timezone` - the timezone for the blog article published date
- `edit_page` (and `docs_repo`, `repo_branch`) - whether to show the edit page in the github repo for your docs
- `math` (and `library`) - set KaTeX or MathJax library
- `[extra.open]` - Open Graph + Twitter Cards for the site
- `[extra.schema]` - set JSON-LD for the site
- `[[extra.menu.main]]` - the header navigations for the site
- `[[extra.menu.social]]` - the social links on the header of the page
- `[extra.footer]` - the footer content on the left
- `[[extra.footer.nav]]` - the footer navigations on the right

### Templates

All pages are extend to the `base.html`, and you can customize them as need.

### Content

#### Homepage

Go to the *content/_index.md* file to add your own homepage content.

- `[extra]` - the main content of the homepage
- `[[extra.ist]]` - the lists' content of the homepage

#### Sections

Each section includes a `_index.md`, and you can customize it or add your new
section under the `content` folder.

#### Pages

There are mainly three types of pages in the site.

- `blog` - blog article
- `docs` - documentation article
- `authors` - authors page if you need to add some information for a new author
