hi there, I just downloaded the Artists theme and started playing with it. I am new to Jekyll. So I tried to follow simple steps: jekyll build, jekyll serve. No errors are reported, but the site layout is totally messed up.

The versions I installed are as below: jekyll 2.1.1 Sass 3.3.10 (Maptastic Maple)

Maybe someone can give me some tips what is wrong? Thanks a lot.

There was no need to over complicate the 'hacked' CSS to use the bounce.js library.

By simply hiding the div to begin, then showing it on mouse over you will get the desired effect without the "jitter" that is a pain in the video!

Timing, etc. can be adjusted as needed to get the desired effect, but this leaves the CSS far cleaner which is a definite plus!

Hello all,

I'm french so I'm sorry for my english :smile:

I started the last 3 days the DevTips Artitsit template tutorial. After several hours to install all the programs I'm now in the coding phase (part 4).

I created the same structure and my {% include header.html %} is working but for the CSS part I've some challenge.

If I add this code in my all.sass the css works

all.sass

---
---
body
    background-color: red

but if I add these the CSS NOT working, in the _site the file 'all' in not converting to .css but stay as a .sass

all.sass

@import '3-sections/-sections-dir'

_-sections-dir.sass

@import 'header'

header.sass

body 
    background-color: pink

Here is my configuration file so far:

_config.yml

# Build settings
port: 8000
sass:
    sass_dir: _sass

Thanks for your help, Damien

• Changes made
  • Exclude from the _config.yml files that wouldn't be compiled and added to the _site folder.
  • Added absolute_url variable to portfolio.yml to better manage url through the entire template.
  • Images path changed, now the entire path is only inside portfolio.yml, this gives us more flexibility on the configurations.
  • Minor changes to the nested variables inside .sass files.
  • Big changes to the url building into index.htmland all.sass. I've used the prepend function

Hope everybody will enjoy.

It was a bit hard to follow you because of all the branching going on in the previous client/next client handler. Hopefully, this code is a bit easier to read.

I also included a cleanup commit, I'm not sure it's necessary and can remove it for a cleaner diff.

I've made some changes. First of all I've transfer the site data into a dedicated document where you can manage all the contents into the page (based on jekyll data files ). Then I've removed inline style, for background-image, adding variables that can be parsed by jekyll in the main.scss file which is the only one where you can add liquid syntax. Then into portfolio.yml data file, now you can create your custom menu list and url link associated to the item plus a list for the skills where a user can add or remove data without editing code, well at least not HTML.

Hope you enjoy!

Hey all,

I have no idea why this is happening, but it is :( . I am able to render the "work" section on the website perfectly while I am testing locally:

However, after I publish the site, the layout gets completely messed up

Has anyone experienced this? If so, any solutions?

Thanks alot for reading and for the help in advance!

P.S The code resides here : https://github.com/crikeli/crikeli.github.io

I'm trying to keep the nav bar fixed to the top of the web page.

Try this option in header.html but nothing happens, any idea?

<header id="header">
<nav class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container">
{% for item in site.data.settings.menu %}
<a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.name }}</a>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</nav>
<h1><span>{{ site.data.settings.title }}</span></h1>
<p class="kicker">{{ site.data.settings.description }}</p>
</header>

Thank's for this great theme!

Update to use images in the dom instead of background-images.

This helps for accessibility and SEO.

Also helps remove some styles(padding on the .theme-unit). The image gives its parents weight on the page. Give it max-width: 100% and it will scale to the fit its wrapper.

Update js to so that it works with new mark-up

Hello Travis! I understand that you want this Jekyll theme to have little to no set up on the client side, so I added meta tags to make the clients website more visible on Google.

This is a possible great solution to improve our workflow. Basically we are adding something that jekyll don't give to us simply.

The main thought: compile the sass with the liquid layout nested inside that gives a .css file and then prepend to that compiled file the front matter, running jekyll build this main css file will be parsed and the liquid variables will be converted.

We gain the possibility to add liquid tags everywhere in our sass files.

Yeah it requires Grunt, but now if we run grunt we compile everything with a super flexibility.

Unsure why our page template design using Elvantly has broken - desperately need help fidning what happened and how to fix it!
