Terminal Extended

This is the theme I use for my personal website. It is a fork of the amazing Hugo theme named Terminal by panr, adding more features and some differences that I need.

Barebones demo - https://www.luisrodriguesalves.dev/hugo-theme-terminal-extended

Real life demo - https://luis.zip

List of Features:

• Portfolio
• Link list (similar to paid services that provide a link aggregator)

List of differences

• Language menu always visible below the top header bar
• Posts list is simpler, not being expanded and therefore not showing content
• Customisable dates for the post list (set ListDateFormat to your desired format in config.toml)
• Allow overriding theme with Sass (create a file assets/css/override.scss)
• Hide footer default credit (set HideDefaultCredit to true in your config.toml)

Quick setup

Please visit the original fork page for the complete readme with the basic instructions of how to use the base theme.

Features

Portfolio

A portfolio works as any normal section would. Consider the example below, of a section called "portfolio" with three items:

- exampleSite
-- content
--- portfolio
---- _index.md
---- portfolio_item1.md
---- portfolio_item2.md
---- portfolio_item3.md

In the \_index.md file to your section, add the following to the header: type = "portfolio"

Then, for each portfolio item, add an image to your static files. I recommend them being square as per the example screenshots, although other resolutions might work too (they might look funky tho 😶). Link the images to your portfolio items by adding the following to their header: portfolioCover = "path_to_image.png"

If you want to add icons, add them to the header too: portfolioIcons=["icon1.svg", "icon2.svg", "icon3.svg"]

I recommend getting icons from SimpleIcons

Using the steps above, you can have as many portfolios in your site as you want. As an example, you could have a "Photography" section with photos and a "Drawings" with drawings.

Sub sections

You can also organise your portfolio with subsections. Just add them as subfolders of the original section. For instance:

- exampleSite
-- content
--- portfolio
---- Mona Lisas
----- _index.md
----- portfolio_item1.md
----- portfolio_item2.md
----- portfolio_item3.md
---- Earrings
----- _index.md
----- portfolio_item1.md
----- portfolio_item2.md
----- portfolio_item3.md

Link List

Any page can be rendered as a Link List, including the index page if you so wish. It also supports social media links and text containers.

You'll need to create a data file to save the links. It should be under the data folder. Here's an example, made in json, called linklist.json. The parameters should be self-explanatory:

{
    "Name": "My Link List",
    "Description": "Link List of Luís Arnaldo",
    "Image": "../photo.jpg",
    "Socials": [
        {
            "Link": "https://instagram.com/Louisload",
            "Icon": "/icon/instagram.svg",
            "AltText": "Instagram"
        },
        {
            "Link": "https://www.twitter.com/Louisload",
            "Icon": "/icon/twitter.svg",
            "AltText": "Twitter"
        }
    ],
    "List": [
        {
            "Type": "text",
            "Content": "Helloooo! and welcome to my personal web space ✨🌈  \nI'm a dev who likes to write esoteric code, compose out-of-tempo music, produce weird films and draw petit pixel art monsters. 💾 🎹 🎞️ 👾",
            "HtmlClasses": "anotherClassSoICanOverrideStyles"
        },
        {
            "Type": "link",
            "Link": "https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/louisload/memrias-de-peixe-2",
            "Icon": "/lt/memorias.jpg",
            "AltText": "Memórias de Peixe",
            "Content": "My latest album: Memórias de Peixe",
            "OpenNewTab": true
        },
        {
            "Type": "link",
            "Link": "https://demising.faith",
            "Icon": "/lt/demisingfaith.jpg",
            "AltText": "Demising Faith",
            "Content": "Demising Faith",
            "OpenNewTab": true
        },
        {
            "Type": "link",
            "Link": "https://youtube.com/@louisload",
            "Icon": "/icon/film.svg",
            "AltText": "Film Reel",
            "Content": "Weird films",
            "OpenNewTab": true
        }
    ]
}

Then, on the page that you want to be a link list, add the following to the header:

type = "link-list"
linkListData = "linklist"
