Excel.lent theme! Please add support for DARK layout / AUTO like Casper.

My notes say you can pretty easily turn it dark only:

add class=“has-light-text” to html, AND change the value of --background-color
(So two lines of CSS in code injection to make it always black. Or some javascript to respond to the preferences and add or not add those bits.)

I’m bringing it up here because

  • The theme came from Ghost
  • The theme exposed this problem because one of the sub-themes has a secondary navigation section that works well for sections of the site, but looks like it isn’t designed to house external links (such as those to social media).

I think it’s pretty relevant in this context, although, yes, the first change still needs to be made by Ghost proper.

I am exerpericing a problem with the landing-layout (running on Ghost Pro). The header section showed before, but I played around for a bit and now the landing layout just shows the posts, but not the header-part anymore. It is the same layout as the “off” layout now. Can anyone please help?

No post sidebar, meh, I am going to have to start hacking away :melting_face:

@christhaefner I haven’t been able to reproduce this. Can you add what version of Ghost this is to your post, please? And do you have custom routing?

OK, let me confirm here - I’m also seeing the bug where the landing page layout doesn’t occur. Client is on Ghost Pro, old interface. Landing page layout appears in the preview window, but not on the site itself, even after saving.

NO routes.yaml (so that’s not at fault). Nothing unusual about the setup. Vanilla Ghost Pro.

Fascinating. For a bit, it just didn’t work for landing pages. @RyanF, if you want the name of the Ghost Pro hosted site (under development, so OK to poke at), please let me know. Meanwhile, I’ve put the site back to Casper.

Of course, I’ve now switched MY test site (also Ghost Pro) back and forth a couple dozen times, and it refuses to bug.

I did test it on a brand new Ghost Pro Installation (without routes) as well as on my live blog.
I figured that one part of the problem could be solves by re-uploading a publication icon. However, still not completely happy with it. A Ghost team member offered to have a closer look.

That’s interesting - I’ll try reuploading a publication icon on the site that’s bugged. The site currently doesn’t have one.

Search is working. Landing is not. Odd!

UPDATE: Hang on. My site is maybe not bugged. Source turns the ‘landing’ header entirely off for subscribed users. That behavior surprised me.

@christhaefner , I thought had a repro on this problem, but then I discovered that the entire landing header disappears when the member is logged in. Can you try logging yourself out of the front site and see if it reappears?

That is exactly what is happening. It seems like this is no bug, but a feature. Thanks for clarifying.

laughs I guess so! I was just as surprised as you, because I expected that the header would remain and the subscribe box (and only the subscribe box) would be suppressed. Maybe the next iteration of Source will take that feedback. Or maybe I’ll edit it, if I decide to switch.

Is the Ghost team planning to update https://demo.ghost.io/ with this new theme? :slightly_smiling_face:

Did you get this sorted/figured out?

@RyanF , I eventually figured out that /my/ issue was that I didn’t expect the whole cover section to disappear from Landing for visitors who are subscribed to the site. So that looked like bugged behavior, since it looked like the header “off” layout. I’m not convinced that the entire cover/header disappearing from “Landing” is the expected behavior, but it’s not obviously a bug either.

However, @reckless reported not seeing the cover, and his screenshot doesn’t look like he’s logged in, so it’s possible there’s something there that I wasn’t able to replicate.

I think it just wasn’t avail yet to those of us with no life and watch for new announcements!
