This is an example site built with Hexo and Netlify CMS, based on Viosey's Hexo material theme.
Use the following deploy button to get your own copy of the repository up and running:
The Deploy to Netlify button clones a copy of this repository to your own GitHub or GitLab account. You can clone this repository to your computer for local development.
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/lunaceee/hexo-material-netlify.git
$ cd hexo-material-netlify
$ npm install
$ hexo server
Notice that the --recursive flag is important here, as the material theme is introduced as a submodule.
Alternatively, you can update submodules manually:
cd hexo-material-netlify
git submodule init
git submodule update
The Netlify CMS admin panel is already set up in the repo. You can access it via yourwebsite.com/admin, e.g. localhost:4000/admin.
To understand more about the configuration, check out Netlify CMS docs.
Netlify supports a wide range of Redirect & Rewrite Rules. Our example site is featuring the Language-based redirecs, which comes in handy for any sites that support multiple languages.
To enable language based redirects, make sure the following configurations in your root _config.yml file is included:
language:
- [language_01]
- [language_02]
- [language_03]
i18n_dir: :lang
In the markdown file, make sure you specify the language of the post in the front matter:
lang: [language of preference]
Example code of language based redirect rules:
/ /zh-cn 302 Language=zh
/about /zh-cn/about 302 Language=zh
/ /es 302 Language=es
Now, if your browser language is set to zh-cn, you'll be taken to https://yourwebsite.com/zh-cn/ automatically. You can apply this technique for any other languages.
Make sure that the file path in the redirect rules match your folder structures. E.g., I created a zh-cn folder for all the pages in Chinese and added an about folder containing the about page:
source/
├── _data
│ └── head.json
├── _posts
│ ├── Platero
│ │ └── platero.jpg
│ ├── Platero.md
│ ├── hello-world.md
│ └── 你好.md
├── _redirects
├── admin
│ ├── config.yml
│ └── index.html
├── images
│ └── uploads
│ └── netlify-logo.png
└── zh-cn
├── about
│ └── index.md
└── index.md
Thus, in my _redirects file, I specified /zh-cn/about as a redirect rule for the about page in Chinese.
By default, our theme shows posts in all languages on the home page. We only want to show posts written in the default language of the browser. I found a nice plug-in hexo-generator-index-i18n to filter out the unrelated posts. For example, if you go to https://yourwebsite.com/zh-cn/, you'd only see the posts written in Chinese.
