I am playing around with the Anatole Theme, and I am curious if there is a “somewhat easy” way to customize whether the sidebar will take exactly half of the “screen” or if it can be, again, customized so it takes less screen space. Savvy?
I like the Anatole Theme, as well, but I wish I could add more links like Flickr or YouTube. It would be nice to have additional options. Any help would be great, thanks!
Since this is not an official MB-hosted theme, may have better luck directly asking @amit. That said, this is a very complex theme with extensive use of scss, so I think it might be pretty tricky. It does appear (best I can tell) to just be using flex box to setup the columns, but I think you’d have to fork and customize the scss not just add some custom blips to override.
@Gaby Interesting. I think there should be a way. And if there is, should be able to make it customization too. Let me spend some time, though – I will see how simple it is.
@Gaby Oh. I didn’t test this with “on this day” as I don’t have it set up on my test blog. I have pushed a fix for this issue. Can you try and let me know if it works?
Thanks you in advance! Maybe you could consider a general link field or two, so a user would simply input any type of URL to anything they desired instead of specific website or service. Just an idea… either way thank you for a great theme!
I am interested in adding “on this day” to this theme myself on website. Could you please let me know how you did it. I don’t see any plug-in availability on Micro.blog Where would I find it and how would I install it. Thanks for help!
@gabz Oops. That’s curious. Only thing this can mean is the format displayed is not considered valid by Micro Memories? Would you be able to try a change? It will save me a fix/upgrade cycle
Great! Just go to Design → Edit Custom Themes → Anatole. Open layouts/_default/single.html. Replace {{ time.Format "Mon, Jan 2, 2006" .Date }} with {{ time.Format ":date_medium" .Date }} on line number 23. Then click Update Template.
I have shared the whole file with this change here. Let me know once you do this.
This worked! it shows the proper dates. One behavior I noticed, this goes for main posts outside of “On this Day as well”. If the post does not have a title, but you click on “Read More” it doesn’t show the post, just the date, and tags (if any).
Sigh! How did I mess this up? I have fixed it and released another upgrade. Wish you didn’t have to go through this. I do not like how complicated this theme’s single page is.
