Site-wide settings

Below the skins are settings that apply to the whole site. Most are set up once by a developer; the ones a Themer may need are:

• Chart colours — the default series colours for Chart components, as hex codes separated by spaces.

• External links — style external links, open them in a new window, and optionally show a pop-up message when leaving the site, with a regex of domains that trigger it.

• Import redirects — paste a two-column CSV of source,destination paths to create redirects in bulk.

• Look and Feel — apply a "look" (a bundle of modifiers) to pages by context rather than one page at a time; see below.

• Meta — extra meta tags built from page fields; see below.

• Schema.org, Prefetch, ReadSpeaker, Convivial profiler, Matomo, Recombee tracker — integrations; leave to your developer.

Look and Feel

Look and Feel applies a look — a set of modifiers such as a background or palette — to whole areas of the site based on what page is being shown, instead of an editor setting it on each page. Tick Enable Look and Feel, then configure:

Look and Feel settings

• Field selectors — one field|selector mapping per line, saying which field on the looked-up entity holds the modifiers.

• Complete strategies and Partial strategies — one strategy|parameters rule per line, evaluated in order. Complete applies only the first matching look; Partial applies every matching look.

  • entity|node,taxonomy_term — take the look from the page's own entity.

  • reference|field_section — take it from the entity in that reference field, e.g. the page's Section.

  • path|/section/*,taxonomy_term,section-a — when the URL matches, use the look with key section-a from the taxonomy terms.

  • apply|taxonomy_term,section-a — always use the look with key section-a.

Meta

The Meta feature emits extra <meta> tags from page values, one rule per line in the form strategy,key,params,attributes,bundles:

Meta settings

• constant,site,alpha — a fixed value.

• bundle,type — the page's content type.

• values,summary,field_summary (or value,… for a single string) — a field value.

• references,topic,field_topics|field_identifier (or reference,…) — a field from a referenced entity.

• token,type,[node:content-type] — a token.

Add attr1=x|attr2=y to set extra attributes and page|article to limit the tag to those content types, e.g. token,topic,[node:field_topic],,page|article.
