# Vinyl Records Collection Theme
A [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) theme made to present your vinyl records collection to the world.
[![Theme example](images/tn.jpg)](images/screenshot.jpg)

```bash
hugo new site my-vinyl-records-collection
```
Add this theme to your project :
```bash
## Clone directly

This theme use a specific archetype, so delete or rename the default one.
```bash
rm <your hugo site folder>/archetypes/default.md
```

theme = 'vinyl-records-collection-theme'
[taxonomies]
artist = 'artist'
genres = 'genres'
label = 'label'
year = 'year'
format = 'format'
```
## Create your first record
Create a new content file with hugo :
```bash
hugo new an-album-name.md
```
Open the newly created file, the archetype will basically tell you what you need to do to finish the job.
Example :
```markdown
---
# Mandatory parts :

```
## Documentation
The most comprehensive documentation of the support content is directly written in the [archetype](archetypes/default.md).
## Customize theme
### Custom colors
The CSS file is mostly variabilized and can be overloaded suing a `custom.css` file that will be loaded after the default style.
```bash
├── assets
│   └── css
│   └── custom.css # 2. customize the color there
└── themes
└── vinyl-records-collection-theme
├── assets
│   ├── css
│   │   ├── custom.css ## 1. copy this file to the site assets folder, in a 'css' sub-folder
│   │   └── style.css
```
### Custom images
You can change the background image of the header and the footer, also the default record image, by adding your own one in the site `assets` folder.
```bash
├── assets
│   └── img
│   └── back-header.jpg # will have the priority over the one in the template
└── themes
└── vinyl-records-collection-theme
├── assets
│   └── img
│   ├── back-footer.jpg
│   ├── back-header.jpg
│   └── default.png
```
The theme expects the header and footer to be in `jpg` format, while the default record image is expected to be in `png`.
