<span class="no-prose dark:text-neutral-300">This section assumes you have already <a href=https://jpanther.github.io/congo/docs/installation/>installed the Congo theme</a>.</span>
</div>
<p>The config files that ship with Congo contain all of the possible settings that the theme recognises. By default, many of these are commented out but you can simply uncomment them to activate or change a specific feature.</p>
<p>There are a few things you should set in <code>config.toml</code> for a new installation:</p>

</code></pre></div><p>The <code>[author]</code> configuration determines how the author information is displayed on the website. The image should be placed in the site&rsquo;s <code>static/</code> folder. Links will be displayed in the order they are listed.</p>
<p>Further detail about these configuration options is covered in the <a href=https://jpanther.github.io/congo/docs/configuration/>Configuration</a> section.</p>
<h2 id=colour-schemes>Colour schemes <a class=heading-anchor href=#colour-schemes aria-label=Anchor>#</a></h2>
<p>Congo ships with a number of colour schemes out of the box. To change the scheme, simply set the <code>colorScheme</code> theme parameter. Valid options are <code>congo</code> (default), <code>avocado</code>, <code>fire</code>, <code>ocean</code> and <code>slate</code>.</p>

<p>Although these are the default schemes, you can also create your own. Refer to the <a href=https://jpanther.github.io/congo/docs/advanced-customisation/#colour-schemes>Advanced Customisation</a> section for details.</p>
<h2 id=organising-content>Organising content <a class=heading-anchor href=#organising-content aria-label=Anchor>#</a></h2>
<p>By default, Congo doesn&rsquo;t force you to use a particular content type. In doing so you are free to define your content as you wish. You might prefer <em>pages</em> for a static site, <em>posts</em> for a blog, or <em>projects</em> for a portfolio.</p>
<p>The same logic applies to taxonomies. Some people prefer to use <em>tags</em> and <em>categories</em>, others prefer to use <em>topics</em>.</p>
<p>Hugo defaults to using posts, tags and categories out of the box and this will work fine if that&rsquo;s what you want. If you wish to customise this, however, you can do so by creating the following files:</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-toml data-lang=toml><span class=c># config/_default/taxonomies.toml</span>
<span class=nx>topic</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;topics&#34;</span>
</code></pre></div><p>This will replace the default <em>tags</em> and <em>categories</em> with <em>topics</em>. Refer to the <a href=https://gohugo.io/content-management/taxonomies/>Hugo Taxonomy docs</a> for more information on naming taxonomies.</p>
<p>When you create a new taxonomy, you will need to adjust the navigation links on the website to point to the correct sections.</p>
<h2 id=menus>Menus <a class=heading-anchor href=#menus aria-label=Anchor>#</a></h2>
<p>Congo has two menus that can be customised to suit the content and layout of your site. The <code>main</code> menu appears in the site header and the <code>footer</code> menu appears at the bottom of the page just above the copyright notice.</p>
<p>Both menus are configured in the <code>menus.toml</code> file.</p>
<div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-toml data-lang=toml><span class=c># config/_default/menus.toml</span>
<span class=p>[[</span><span class=nx>main</span><span class=p>]]</span>
<span class=nx>name</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;Blog&#34;</span>
<span class=nx>pageRef</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;posts&#34;</span>
<span class=nx>weight</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=mi>10</span>
<span class=p>[[</span><span class=nx>main</span><span class=p>]]</span>
<span class=nx>name</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;Topics&#34;</span>
<span class=nx>pageRef</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;topics&#34;</span>
<span class=nx>weight</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=mi>20</span>
<span class=p>[[</span><span class=nx>footer</span><span class=p>]]</span>
<span class=nx>name</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;Privacy&#34;</span>
<span class=nx>url</span> <span class=p>=</span> <span class=s2>&#34;https://external-link&#34;</span>
</code></pre></div><p>The <code>name</code> parameter specifies the text that is used in the menu link. You can also optionally provide a <code>title</code> which fills the HTML title attribute for the link.</p>
<p>The <code>pageRef</code> parameter allows you to easily reference Hugo content pages and taxonomies. It is the quickest way to configure the menu as you can simply refer to any Hugo content item and it will automatically build the correct link. To link to external URLs, the <code>url</code> parameter can be used.</p>
<p>Menu links will be sorted from lowest to highest <code>weight</code>, and then alphabetically by <code>name</code>.</p>
<p>Both menus are completely optional and can be commented out if not required. Use the template provided in the file as a guide.</p>
<h2 id=detailed-configuration>Detailed configuration <a class=heading-anchor href=#detailed-configuration aria-label=Anchor>#</a></h2>
<p>The steps above are the bare minimum configuration. If you now run <code>hugo server</code> you will be presented with a blank Congo website. Detailed configuration is covered in the <a href=https://jpanther.github.io/congo/docs/configuration/>Configuration</a> section.</p>
