Simply free theme for Ghost

Simple and Elegant Theme.

Hello 😄 , I created this theme for Ghost with inspiration from Medium. It is available for free so you can use on your site. If you have any suggestions to improve the theme, you can send me a tweet @GodoFredoNinja

If you have a ❤️ and value my work. 🙏 Please, help me with a small donation on Paypal or Here. It'll help motivate me to update the theme with many improvements

➡️ If you still don't have a Hosting for your Ghost. Use Digital Ocean using my referral link and you will get free a $50 credit to use in Digital Ocean. This way you will also be helping me.

Demo

Web Browser Support for Simply

Simply supports the following web browsers.

Ghost Settings

Enable the following checkbox on the Labs page in the Ghost admin panel.

Simply Settings

You don't have to add all the Simply configurations. only the ones you need

1. Social Media

Facebook and Twitter is not necessary because I use them from the ghost settings

Add the Social Links only for the services you want to appear in the header section of your website. Pay attention as enabling too many services will cause menu problems.

➡️ Dashboard -> Code injection -> Site Footer

<script>
var followSocialMedia = {
  'youtube': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'instagram': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'github': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'linkedin': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'rss': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],

  /*
  'snapchat': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'dribbble': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'spotify': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'codepen': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'behance': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'flickr': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'telegram': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'vimeo': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'twitch': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'vk': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'slack': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'tumblr': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  'discord': ['YOUR_URL','YOUR_TITLE'],
  */
};
</script>

👉 For those who are commented it is necessary to add those icons through SVG

It is not necessary to add all the icons. Only the icons you need.

➡️ Dashboard -> Code injection -> Site Footer

5. Search

The default search engine will only search the titles of the post

Setup a Custom integration

Go in your Ghost's dashboard -> Integrations -> Add custom integration
Set a name: GodoFredo Themes Search
Get the Content API Key and replace the demo key with this one
Get the admin domain. This will be different in some cases

➡️ Dashboard -> Code injection -> Site Footer

<script>
  var searchSettings = {
    key: 'ADD_YOUR_API_KEY',
    url: 'https://demo.ghost.io',
  };
</script>

OR - Adding parameters to the search

<script>
var searchSettings = {
  key: 'ADD_YOUR_API_KEY',
  url: 'https://demo.ghost.io',
  /* This is optional */
  options: {
    keys: [
      'title',
    ],
    limit: 10,
  },
  /* This is optional to perform filtering of the ghost api */
  api: {
    resource: 'posts',
    parameters: {
      limit: 'all',
      fields: ['title', 'slug'],
      filter: '',
      include: '',

Settings Google Tag Mananger

With Google Tag Manager, there are a million different ways to make your tagging setup leaner and more flexible.

I'll use an easy way to reduce redundancy here. It's the generic event tag 😊 you guessed it!

— What are you waiting? 🖐 hands in action.

First we'll create triggers

Click Triggers
New
Name of the Trigger
Select Custom Event
Name of the Event

— If you do not understand. look at the image

Second we'll create Tag

Click tags
New
Name of the Tag
Select Google Analytics
Track Type Event
{{Event Category}}
{{Event Action}}
{{Event Label}}
{{Event Value}}
Non-Interaction Hit true
Here you have to add your Google Analytics code. I have my Google Analytics code in a Global variable. I select my global variable
Triggering — Select the trigger we created first

— If you do not understand. look at the image

Third Insert code

🤔 You can improve the code. I'll leave that to your imagination.

➡️ Copy the below script to Settings -> Code Injection -> Blog Footer

<script>
/* Tracking With Google Tag Mananger */
var godoTracking = document.querySelectorAll('.godo-tracking');
godoTracking.forEach(function(item) {
  item.addEventListener('click', function() {
    var godoCategory = this.getAttribute('data-event-category');
    var godoAction = this.getAttribute('data-event-action');
    var godoLabel = this.getAttribute('data-event-label');
    var godoValue = this.getAttribute('data-event-non-interaction');

    dataLayer.push({
      'event' : 'godoGhostEvent',
      'eventCategory' : godoCategory,
      'eventAction' : godoAction,
      'eventLabel' : godoLabel,
      'eventValue' : godoValue,
    });
  });
});
</script>

PrismJS code syntax
