Custom is a function to get custom variable you declared in your theme inside meta tags.

You can specify some variables which will be displayed as form controls in the theme settings UI in the goal to help users to customize their theme without watching source code.

Just add a meta tag in your template with the following structure :

 
    <meta name="type:name:label.as.locale.key" default="default value" group="name" items="[item1, item2]" />
  • type is a string which cast the value and display a specific control. It may take the following values :
    string
    Display a simple text input and requires a free string value
    text
    Display a textarea and requires a text. The difference with the string type is that the value can have several lines. Twig syntax will not be interpreted.
    color
    Display a color picker and requires a color value as hexadecimal value
    list
    Display a select box and requires a contrained string value. The options are specified in the list attribute of the meta tag as an array of strings.
    boolean

    tag
    Display a tag picker and requires a constrained string from the list of all the blog's posts tags
  • name is the name you'll use as parameter to retreive the value
  • label is the displayed label in theme set interface.
    You can use the locales keys available in this list.
  • default is the control default value which will be applied while the user will not have set a custom one or when he will click on the control's rollback button
  • group is the name of the group where the control will be placed.
    You can use the locales keys available in this list.
  • items is the list of options when you use a list typed variable. List your values as a JSON array :
    items="[value1, value2]"
    will display a select with an empty option, an option with "value1" value and an option with "value2" value.
    You can use the locales keys available in this list.

Finally, when your variables are set, you can use thier values in your template code to test conditions or diplay values :

 
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="color:bg_color:label.backgroundColor" default="#fff" group="display" />
    <meta name="boolean:display_highlighted:label.displayHighlightedPosts ?" default="true" group="display" />
    <meta name="tag:highlighted_tag:label.highlightedTag ?" group="display" />
    <meta name="list:highlighted_nb:label.highlightedNb ?" default="5" items="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" group="display" />

    <style>
        body {
            background-color: {{ Custom('bg_color') }};

Constant

Constants allow you to set some blog settings from within your theme.

In any case, the blog owner is able to override these settings. You can see constants as default values for your theme.

To add a constant to your theme just use a meta tag as follow :

 
    <meta name="constant:name" content="value"/>

Currently, only two constants are supported : "displayArticleLimits" and "disableDefaultMobileTheme"

  • displayArticlesLimit allows you to set a default per page post number. "value" must be a number between 1 and 50.
     
                <meta name="constant:displayArticlesLimit" content="15"/>
            
  • disableDefaultMobileTheme disable the default mobile theme when your blog is viewed on a mobile device. If set to 1, your current theme will be used instead.
     
                <meta name="constant:disableDefaultMobileTheme" content="1"/>
            

Keep in mind that the blog owner will always be able to override these settings.
