Edits on aliases, comments, theme customizing
Fleshed out aliases section, loading the "redirect" keyword so that it's easier to find. Specifically added a "how aliases work" section. Added Discourse to comments section. Fleshed out themes/customizing, because it seems to be the source of a lot of questions on the forum.

Luckily, redirects can be handled easily with _aliases_ in Hugo.

## Example
|
||||
**content/posts/my-awesome-blog-post.md**
|
||||
|
||||
<table class="table">
|

<thead>

Given a post on your current Hugo site, with a path of:
|
||||
|
||||
``content/posts/my-awesome-blog-post.md``
|
||||
|
||||
... you create an "aliases" section in the frontmatter of your post, and add previous paths to that.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||

## How Hugo Aliases Work
|
||||
|
||||
When aliases are specified, Hugo creates a physical folder structure to match the alias entry, and, an html file specifying the canonical URL for the page, and a redirect target.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming a baseurl of `mysite.tld`, the contents of the html file will look something like:
|
||||
|
||||
~~~html
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<link rel="canonical" href="http://mysite.tld/posts/my-original-url"/>
|
||||
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
|
||||
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://mysite.tld/posts/my-original-url"/>
|
||||
</head>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The `http-equiv="refresh"` line is what performs the redirect, in 0 seconds in this case.

## Conditional Loading of Disqus Comments
|

|

Users have noticed that enabling Disqus comments when running the Hugo web server on localhost causes the creation of unwanted discussions on the associated Disqus account. In order to prevent this, a slightly tweaked partial template is required. So, rather than using the built-in `"_internal/disqus.html"` template referenced above, create a template in your `partials` folder that looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|

```html

<div id="disqus_thread"></div>

Hugo themes permit you to supplement or override any template or file
|
||||
from within your working directory.
|
||||
_The following are key concepts for Hugo site customization. Hugo permits you to **supplement or override** any theme template or static file, with files in your working directory._
|
||||
|
||||
## Replacing Static files
|
||||
_When you use a theme cloned from its git repository, you do not edit the theme's files directly. Rather, you override them as per the following:_
|
||||
|
||||
For including a different file than what the theme ships
|
||||
with. For example, if you would like to use a more recent version of jQuery
|
||||
than what the theme happens to include, simply place an identically named file in the same
|
||||
relative location but in your working directory. For example, if the
|
||||
theme has jQuery 1.6 in `/themes/themename/static/js/jquery.min.js`, simply place your file
|
||||
in the same relative path `/static/js/jquery.min.js`.
|
||||
## Replace Static Files
|
||||
|
||||
For including a different file than what the theme ships with. For example, if you would like to use a more recent version of jQuery than what the theme happens to include, simply place an identically-named file in the same relative location but in your working directory.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if the theme has jQuery 1.6 in:
|
||||
|
||||
/themes/themename/static/js/jquery.min.js
|
||||
|
||||
... you would simply place your file in the same relative path, but in the root of your working folder:
|
||||
|
||||
/static/js/jquery.min.js
|
||||
|
||||
## Replace a single template file
|
||||
|
||||
Anytime Hugo looks for a matching template, it will first check the
|
||||
working directory before looking in the theme directory. If you would
|
||||
like to modify a template, simply create that template in your local
|
||||
`layouts` directory. In the [template documentation](/templates/overview/)
|
||||
each different template type explains the rules it uses to determine
|
||||
which template to use.

|
||||
|
||||
This is especially helpful when the theme creator used [partial
|
||||
templates](/templates/partials/). These partial templates are perfect for easy
|
||||
injection into the theme with minimal maintenance to ensure future
|
||||
compatibility.
|
||||
In the [template documentation](/templates/overview/) _each different template type explains the rules it uses to determine which template to use_. Read and understand these rules carefully.
|
||||
|
||||
**Warning: This only works for templates that Hugo knows about. If the
|
||||
theme imports template files in a creatively named directory,
|
||||
Hugo won’t know to look for the local `/layouts` first.**

|
||||
|

For example:
|

|
||||
/themes/themename/layouts/_default/single.html
|
||||
|
||||
... would be overridden by:
|
||||
|
||||
/layouts/_default/single.html
|
||||
|
||||
**Warning**: This only works for templates that Hugo "knows about" (that follow its convention for folder structure and naming). If the theme imports template files in a creatively-named directory, Hugo won’t know to look for the local `/layouts` first.
|
||||
|
||||
## Replace an archetype
|
||||
|
||||
If the archetype that ships with the theme for a given content type (or
|
||||
all content types) doesn’t fit with how you are using the theme, feel
|
||||
free to copy it to your `/archetypes` directory and make modifications as
|
||||
you see fit.

|
||||
|
||||
## Beware of the default
|
||||
|
||||
**Default** is a very powerful force in Hugo... Especially as it pertains to
|
||||
overwriting theme files. If a default is located in the local archetype
|
||||
directory or `/layouts/_default/` directory, it will be used instead of
|
||||
any of the similar files in the theme.

It is usually better to override specific files rather than using the

||||
default in your working directory.
