Analytics

You can count visits of your site by using Google Analytics. Create an account here, and then add your tracking id in _config.xml, it should look something like UA-********-1.

Tags & Categroies

Use the following post head to set categories and tags of your posts:

layout: post
title: "Post Title"
date: yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
description: Post description
categories: [cat1, cat2]
tags: [tag1, tag2, tags]

Comments

I use Disqus as the comment system of the site. You need to register on the site and change disqus_url to your site url. Leaving comment.disqus in _config.yaml file empty will disable the comments

Baidu Share

Leaving share.baidu empty in _config.yaml file will disable the share features.

Code Syntax Highlighting using Kramdown + Rouge

In this repository, I prefer to kramdown to parse Markdown (.md) post files. Note that you need to use following setting to enable Kramdown to use rouge highlighting which is supported by GitHub by default.

markdown: kramdown
kramdown:
  input: GFM # Enable GitHub Flavored Markdown (fenced code blocks)
  syntax_highlighter: rouge

Here are some examples to add code block into your post (need one line space before each block):

JSON:

[-] Example of JSON code 
{"employees":[
    {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"},
    {"firstName":"Anna", "lastName":"Smith"},
    {"firstName":"Peter", "lastName":"Jones"}
]}


RUBY:

require 'redcarpet'
markdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")
puts markdown.to_html

SQL:

select count(*) as cm_content_nodes
from alf_node nd, alf_qname qn, alf_namespace ns
where qn.ns_id = ns.id
  and nd.type_qname_id = qn.id
  and ns.uri = 'http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0'
  and qn.local_name = 'content';

Java:

private String getToken(HttpClient client) throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
  Cookie[] cookies = client.getState().getCookies();
  for (Cookie cookie : cookies){
    if (cookie.getName().equals("Alfresco-CSRFToken")){
      return URLDecoder.decode(cookie.getValue(), "UTF-8");
    }
  }
  return null;
}

Social Icons

I use font awesome icons for social icons. For example:

  • GitHub:
  • StackOverflow:
  • LinkedIn:
  • Instagram:
  • RSS:

You can set these icons in _config.yml file. To add more icons do following steps:

  • choose an icon you want to use: Font Awesome Icons
  • add variable in _config.yml
  • add icon in social.html with check if variable exists:

 {% if site.social.rss %}
  <li>
    <a title="{{ site.social.<your_social_variable> }}"
       href="{{site.url}}/{{ site.social.<your_social_variable> }}"
       target="_blank"><font_awesome_icon></i></a>
  </li>
{% endif %}
