Crea e condividi un componente del tema del carattere

[Discourse]

Discourse supports importing themes containing assets from a remote repository.

This allows theme authors to share fonts and images.

Create a new git repository with the font

mkdir discourse-roboto-theme
cd discourse-roboto-theme
git init .
vim about.json

For about.json add a skeleton config file

{
  "name": "Roboto theme component",
  "about_url": "",
  "license_url": "",
  "assets": {
    "roboto": "assets/roboto.woff2"
  }
}

Add a LICENSE file, I usually use MIT

vim LICENSE

Download the font

http://localfont.com/ is a handy site to get fonts

mkdir assets
cp ~/Downloads/roboto.woff2 roboto.woff2

Add CSS that consumes the theme

mkdir common
cd common

Create a file called common.scss with

@font-face {
  font-family: Roboto;
  src: url($roboto) format("woff2");
}

body {
  font-family: Roboto;
}

Push changes to GitHub

Check in all your changes:

git add LICENSE
git add about.json
git add assets/roboto.woff2
git add common/common.scss
git commit -am "first commit"

Create an account on GitHub.com and then create a new repository.

(Optional) create a topic on Discourse as a home to discuss your colors

Ideally you would create a topic in the #plugin:theme category with some screenshots of your color scheme. You will use this as your about_url

Fill in the missing information in your about.json file

• Navigate to your LICENSE page on GitHub, fill in that URL as your license_url

• Either use the GitHub project URL or Discourse topic URL as your about_url

At the end of the process your about.json file will look something like:

{
  "name": "Roboto theme component",
  "about_url": "https://github.com/SamSaffron/discourse-roboto-theme",
  "license_url": "https://github.com/SamSaffron/discourse-roboto-theme/blob/master/LICENSE",
  "assets": {
    "roboto": "assets/roboto.woff2"
  }
}

Check in the change and push to GitHub

git commit -am "added more details"
git push

Test your font component

• In the admin/customize/theme screen import your theme from GitHub

You can now easily share fonts!

Structure of themes and theme components

Discourse supports native themes that can be sourced from a .tar.gz archive or from a remote git repository including private repositories. [56] An example theme is at: GitHub - discourse/discourse-simple-theme: Sam's simple discourse theme [32] The git repository will be checked for updates (once a day), or by using the Check for Updates button. When changes are detected the Check for Updates button will change to the Update to Latest. [image] To create a theme you need to follow a spec…

Great tutorial.

Worked like a charm except it looks like localfont.com is down or no more.

I used this Google webfonts helper site to download a .woff2 version of the font I was after.

Quando ho seguito i passaggi ho ricevuto un Errore: Variabile non definita: “$fontname”.

Quindi:
Ho dichiarato la variabile in $variables:
fontname: "assets/fontname.woff2";

Mi sembra che tu debba inserirla, ma quale percorso usare in $variables?

Quando lasci che Discourse carichi i file con

"assets": {
        "fontname": "assets/fontname.woff2"
   }

carica il file in un percorso diverso da assets/roboto.woff2, sembra
(/uploads/db0202/original/1X/...)

Modifica:
Non c’è bisogno di $variables, la magia avviene con i caricamenti. Ma avevo assets/font.svg#regular negli assets e l’hashtag ha creato il problema.

@Dave_Driesmans

Ho dichiarato la variabile in $variables

Sto riscontrando lo stesso errore Errore: Variabile non definita. Inoltre, non vengono visualizzati asset in caricamenti o caricamento come intestazione.

Questo how-to necessita di un aggiornamento?

Grazie in anticipo
