Structure/hierarchy changed - single language

[jehoshua7]

I have a small bash script to rm everything locally, then git submodule add https://github.com/razonyang/hugo-theme-bootstrap themes/hugo-theme-bootstrap, and copy all the content/posts from a backup. It was working fine up until the end of Sept. 2021. Today it had problems. So the version I last used was 28th Sept. 2021, and now as I browse the theme I can see the file structure has changed , but only minor.

I don't use multi-languages, and the (old) structure was /hugo-theme-bootstrap/exampleSite/content/en/

Are there any changes I may have to do locally now ? I only have posts, but do use:

/archives
/categories
/series
/tags

in the deployment. Are there any configuration changes since Sept. 21, as I used to have config files backed up and simply copied them across on a reload.

The main breaking changes is that we use Hugo Pipes #405 for generating assets. See also CHANGELOG and UPGRADE.

If you're still failing to build your site, please provide the details.

@razonyang thanks. I did look at both those documents prior to posting this discussion question. I assumed as I was completely removing the theme locally, then adding from 'git' that all those changes will already be reflected. I just checked a few and they seem to be already reflected in the latest version of this theme.

I also rolled back to Hugo version v0.88.1-5BC54738 , as quite a few messages about

js.Build failed: Could not resolve

when I tried hugo server, however even with hugo v0.94.0-63B23660 , the same messages when attempting the server parameter. The structure changes I can cater for, but the JS build means no testing yet for the latest Hugo and the latest bootstrap theme.

I just commented #440 (comment). Please feel free to comment if you're still failing to build the site.

[razonyang]

I just realized that you used exampleSite/content/en/ before. You can disable other languages by setting the following configuration(config.toml). In this way, you can easily set up a single language demo site without deleting any files.

defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = false
disableLanguages = ["fr", "zh-cn" ,"zh-tw"]

Since we use Hugo Pipes, you'll need to install extended Hugo and npm for building your site:

$ hugo mod npm pack
$ npm install
$ hugo

[jehoshua7]

In my config.toml I have

Multilingual mode

defaultContentLanguage = "en"
#defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = true # If you use only one language comment this option
disableLanguages = ["fr", "zh-cn" ,"zh-tw"] # For disable one or more language

I have done the extended Hugo and npm as per your instructions. There were many warnings in the npm install such as

npm WARN notsup Unsupported engine for [email protected]: wanted: {"node":">=12"} (current: {"node":"10.19.0","npm":"6.14.4"})
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your version of node/npm: [email protected]

When I run hugo it looks like this

[razonyang]

Please put the following configuration into config.toml, and then try again.

[build]
  writeStats = true

[jehoshua7]

I'll check my (backup) config files against the themes config files and see if there is anythng obvious

[jehoshua7]

I followed the instructions at https://hbs.razonyang.com/en/docs/installation/git-submodule/#installation , and put it all in a new path called "myblog". This part had warnings

npm install

Then when I tried the server ...

hugo version

[razonyang]

That's right, the extended version is required. You can download the extended version from GitHub Releases.

[razonyang]

BTW, the following configuration(config.toml) must be set:

[build]
  writeStats = true

It tells Hugo to generate the stats file used by postcss for purging unused CSS.

@razonyang - Thanks, even with Hugo extended, it still throws an error

[razonyang]

I guess your Node version is too low, please try to upgrade the Node and try again.
https://nodejs.org/en/download/

[jehoshua7]

For me, it will be easier to go back to https://github.com/razonyang/hugo-theme-bootstrap/releases/tag/v0.67.1

No NPM it seems.

[Natenom]

I had similiar issues on a Debian server with old NPM versions. I ended up with using NVM (Node Version Manager) and got the latest version. It works well now.
