Hi! I downloaded some html theme template  and want to add it to Publii themes. This theme I downloaded from any web resource, not Publii’s marketplace. Is it posibble to install or adapt such a theme to Publii? I use AppImage file for Publii, so I would need to add the html template to it or something else.

With Publii App settings as  writed at Installing a Theme page  or at Installing a new theme in Publii chapter I cannot do this. It doesn’t work.

A big part of using the html template is that you’re going to have to insert the handlebar tags into that html template.

I would start off with the blank template available on Publii’s github repo, and methodically add your html template to that structure

Do you happen to have a link to the HTML theme you want to convert?

My suggestions would be to:

1. Study the Dev docs: https://getpublii.com/dev/

2. Download a free Publii theme that resembles the one you want to use the most, and study it. Go through allll the files and folders in the input > theme folder, and do your best to understand how everything works.

3. If you haven’t already: learn HTML and CSS. freecodecamp, mimo, and Plan Design Code are good places to start.

 

Good luck!

RED: Thank You! I didn’t know about blank template.

CANDIDEXMEDIA: For example  see this one.

Thanks for sharing an example! Looks like the template uses Bootstrap, so this tutorial might be helpful: https://github.com/SimonPadbury/Publii-Bootstrap-Starter/tree/master/TUTORIALS

CANDIDEXMEDIA. Thank You! Very interesting tutorial. Will have to study it.

Interestingly, the STARTER theme does not load. Instead, I took the initial  SIMPLE  theme to study.

The Starter Theme is outdated and has been abandoned. Use the Blank Theme located here:

RED: Thank You! I will do so.
This TUTORIAL is a bit outdated. For example, the header.hbs file in ~/Documents/Publii/themes/blank/partials/ is now called head.hbs. Links to AWESOME fonts and BOOTSTRAP now need others, etc. Therefore, it turns out slowly, but interestingly.
