Docs.ghost.org theme

#1

I assume Ghost’s documentation (i.e. https://docs.ghost.org/) is served using Ghost. The theme there is very nice. Does anybody know whether the theme at docs is available on the web?

I am especially looking for this: on the left, there is an overall contents menu, and on the right, there is a “on this page” menu. Is there any theme capable of doing this?

#2

All the source for our docs is available below - it uses a Ghost back end but a statically generated Gatsbyjs front-end rather than the Ghost theme layer, so it’s not a standard template that can be easily re-used on other sites unfortunately.

#3

Are you working on a theme with gastby that we can use for our blog?

#4

Yes

#5

Excellent, in fact I noticed that what you have linked on github can not be imported normally from the back-end of ghost, as it is not written with hbs

#6

@John Maybe you’re interested in knowing that, often, the documentation site does not load, white screen, I have to do a refresh to see the content.
I am attaching an image with the related errors

please keep us postet here :blush:

I also love the docs-site very much!

#8

Sounds great. When will it be ready? :beers:

Hi @John,

How can I log into Ghost Docs back end to add custom documents?

Thanks!

#10

The majority of the docs are on github and can be contributed to there. Tutorials and integrations are stored in a private Ghost back end and these are not available for public contributions at the moment.

@John

I have built both Ghost and Ghost Doc separately as well, but no idea how to integrate both together.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, can you explain what you’re trying to accomplish exactly?

#14

@John

Ghost has been built via docker and Ghost Doc has been built following the guideline in TryGhost/docs.

Both sites work as well.

In order to integrate both sites, I have added a “Custom Integration” in Ghost, and then modified .env.development as below:

These are all public keys, deliberately committed

SITE_URL=“http://docs.domain”
GHOST_API_URL=“http://ghost.domain”
GHOST_API_KEY=“Content API Key from Ghost”
ALGOLIA_ADMIN_KEY=""
SERVICE_WORKER_KILL_SWITCH=“false”

After setting everything, I re-built the Ghost Docs again (#gatsby develop), and got some errors:

error Cannot read property ‘edges’ of null
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘edges’ of null

error UNHANDLED REJECTION
TypeError: Cannot read property ‘edges’ of null

I have googled a lot but still got no idea.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Again, what are you trying to accomplish? Why are you building our docs with docker and a different Ghost back end?

#16

@John

The docs theme is quite nice. I would like to use Ghost Docs to store my documents, but can’t find a way to add documents.

You mentioned above, “Ghost Docs” uses a Ghost backend. That’s why I would like to integrate them together.

PS: only Ghost is built via docker.

Did I do anything wrong?

Thanks!

#17

If it’s just for personal use that’s fine - but duplicating our whole docs and running them publicly on a different domain isn’t ok :slight_smile:

Gatsby uses .env.development to run locally and .env.production to create production builds - so that might be what you’re missing.

If you’re just looking for personal docs then this setup is likely far overcomplicated and I wouldn’t really recommend it. The gatsby starter would be a better place to look:

@John

Thanks for share those information. The integration of gatsby-starter-ghost with Ghost is much easy. One more question. Is it possible to apply the Ghost Docs theme to gatsby-starter-ghost? And how could I do?

Thanks!
