Basic site configuration

Site-wide configuration details and parameters are defined in your project’s configuration file (hugo.toml or config.toml). These include your chosen Hugo theme (Docsy, of course!), project name, community links, Google Analytics configuration, and Markdown parser parameters. See the examples with comments in hugo.yaml in the example project for how to add this information. We recommend copying this hugo.yaml and editing it even if you’re just using the theme and not copying the entire Docsy example site, as it includes default values for many parameters that you need to set for your site to build correctly.

You may want to remove or customize some defaults of the copied hugo.toml file straight away:

Internationalization

The copied hugo.toml file defines content in English, Norwegian and Farsi. You can find out more about how Docsy supports multi-language content in Multi-language support.

If you don’t intend to translate your site, you can remove the language switcher by removing the following lines from hugo.toml:

[languages.no]
languageName ="Norsk"
contentDir = "content/no"
[languages.no.params]
title = "Goldydocs"
description = "Docsy er operativsystem for skyen"
time_format_default = "02.01.2006"
time_format_blog = "02.01.2006"

[languages.fa]
languageName ="فارسی"
contentDir = "content/fa"
[languages.fa.params]
title = "اسناد گلدی"
description = "یک نمونه برای پوسته داکسی"
time_format_default = "2006.01.02"
time_format_blog = "2006.01.02"

Search

By default, the Docsy example site uses its own Google Custom Search Engine. To disable this site search, delete or comment out the following lines:

# Google Custom Search Engine ID. Remove or comment out to disable search.
gcs_engine_id = "..."

To use your own Custom Search Engine, set gcs_engine_id to your search engine ID. For details, see Configure search with a Google Custom Search Engine.
