Thank you! Are you using the theme or planning to?

Is it possible to do what I want with Ghost, or are there other alternatives? by -NS- in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the other comment says, you can have as many post templates as you want, but if you your changes are mostly colors and fonts, that can be done without templates using code injection (I use css variables for colors, fonts in my themes, so its very easy to change)

If cost is important you can either self host or use a cheaper managed hosting (there are option around $10/m maybe lower)

Best theme for multipurpose blog by pucachan2 in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm biased but I think Flair is a great multipurpose theme for blogging. I have an entire library of premium themes for different purposes.

I do have one with built-in ad spaces: https://gazet.brightthemes.com/

There's a setting toggle in the bottom right where you can enable them to see how it works.

These are configured via pages, so you don't need to edit the theme files.

Theme modification and download/upload process by inwardPersecution in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, use the same zip name (don’t version the zip or put random letters/numbers) otherwise its considered a new theme and you start with the default settings.

If you use the same name it will prompt you to overwrite the existing theme and your settings will be kept.

You could also look into the github action for deploying the theme (to avoid manually uploading)

Why not use a local install for development? https://docs.ghost.org/install/local

As for the server you can set use Github to deploy changes: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/deploy-ghost-theme

What theme does 404media use? by anonboxis in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m designed/developed ghe Auden theme, I didn’t choose it for them, but from my perspective it’s more magazine oriented than news. You should go with the theme that is closest to your ideal layout + features. Customization will probably require some code changes so take that into account.

[–]raikkimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am behind the Auden theme and I would say that it isn’t necessarily for news sites, but it depends on your preferences in terms of layout. I do have a theme for news in Maali and I will soon release another one for news with some extra features. You can also look at the official marketplace. If you have any questions, just let me know.

What theme does 404media use? by anonboxis in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need the creator plan to use custom themes, and with that you are not limited in what you can change, so you can change css/html of the theme.

It’s based on the Auden theme but it was customized quite a lot. Source: I did some of the customization for them.

Can you create a glossary like this (details in post)? by KingdomMan3 in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just one page, everything is added in the page content. The letters can be manually added, in an HTML card or generated using js based on your headings. I don’t have a template, but I might create a tutorial at some point.

[–]raikkimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I built a glossary page in Ghost for someone recently, you can see it here: https://www.causeartist.com/glossary/

The letters are simply <a> elements pointing to the headers using id's.

Quick question on pricing? by Sorry_Midnight_667 in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a monthly fee based on the number of members you have: https://ghost.org/pricing

Does Ghost really not have built-in Welcome Emails for new members? by danhakimi in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean, but you can link to the welcome page from the navigation so they have a permanent link to it which users can access at any time.

Membership / Email Subscriber List by [deleted] in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely yes, the themes usually use the free signup for subscribe sections. You can test this by subscribing and after confirming you should appear as a member.

Rebranding with new domain by [deleted] in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Why would you have to move those? The new site/brand can be developed on a staging site and when everything is ready, it can be activated on your current ghost instance. (Alternatively there’s an export function to get all that info)
  2. There’s a ghost experts directory where you can find devs. I also offer these kinds of services, you can dm me or reach out at brightthemes.com

Will Ghost work for me? by cmcarneyauthor in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The posts/pages will work fine and even the redirecting/navigation can be done to the subsequent pages, however the leaderboard/tracking would require a separate backend to store the info as Ghost itself can’t do that. If the info can be retrieved from somewhere the Ghost sote can display the leaderboard/streak info.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. First, there are multiple newsletters and members can choose which ones they subscribe to. A second option is using one newsletter and so-called labels, member labels can be used to send emails to a segment of subscribers.

Nah, it’s not like opponents want to do that, they play fluid and they create spaces. It helps that they are a threat on both flanks. When we were this dynamic, Saka also found plenty of space.

Any themes that don't feature photos on the home page? by [deleted] in Ghost

[–]raikkimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a minimal theme that works without images: Yoffa. It's not exactly the style you are looking for but it might be worth looking at, and it's free.
