Variables

Some of the variables that could be used:

• DISQUS_SITENAME: For the disqus comments
• EMAIL: For the email "mailto:"

For the analytics we have two flavours, one is Go Squared

• GOSQUARED_SITENAME: For the Go squared analytics

And the other is Google analytics Google analytics has various forms. The basic one is:

• GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_CODE: this is the code of GA, something similar to: UA-xxxxxxxx-y

If you have analytics across domains you can put this setting:

• GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_DOMAIN = "xlarrakoetxea.org"

And if you have upper domain level (com, org, co.uk...)

• GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_DOMAIN_UP = True

Installation

To install, go to your pelican theme directory and clone the repo. For example:

$ cd /home/slok/.virtualenvs/blog/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pelican/themes/
$ git clone https://github.com/slok/iris.git

Set the variable THEME to iris in your pelican settings, like this:

THEME = "iris"

Notes

The theme navigation bar does a fade in if you scroll more than 300 pixels to increase the readability of an article.

ReStructuredText creates tt with something that is equivalent to markdown code that is created wit `something. This renders inline source code. So I added tt to the css also, not only code` like most themes. Example:
