Fullpage Plugin

The Fullpage Plugin is for Grav CMS. The Fullpage-plugin provides a simple way of creating fullscreen slideshows that can be navigated vertically and horizontally, using the fullPage.js-library.

At its core the plugin facilitates efficient handling of content for use with the library. You can utilize fullPage.js however you want through custom initialization, and still leverage the plugin's content-handling.

A demo is available, as are docs presented by the plugin. The demo-content-branch holds copies of the pages used in these two examples. If you want to get started quickly, @PaulHibbitts has a ready-to-go skeleton.

Installation

Installing the Fullpage-plugin can be done in one of two ways. The GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the plugin with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.

GPM Installation (Preferred)

The simplest way to install this plugin is via the Grav Package Manager (GPM) through your system's terminal (also called the command line). From the root of your Grav install type:

bin/gpm install fullpage

This will install the Fullpage-plugin into your /user/plugins directory within Grav. Its files can be found under /your/site/grav/user/plugins/fullpage.

Manual Installation

To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then rename the folder to fullpage. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.

You should now have all the plugin files under

/your/site/grav/user/plugins/fullpage

NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires Grav and the Error and Problems to operate.

Configuration

Before configuring this plugin, you should copy the user/plugins/fullpage/fullpage.yaml to user/config/plugins/fullpage.yaml and only edit that copy.

Here is the default configuration and an explanation of available options:

enabled: true
order:
  by: folder
  dir: asc
builtin_css: true
builtin_js: true
styles:
  - background: "#93c0d3"
  - background: "#6f977d"
  - background: "#598495"
  - background: "#5e6168"
  - background: "#213533"
color_function: "50"
change_titles: true
options:
  ...

All options available to the fullPage.js-library can be configured through options, see its documentation for available options. For example:

options:
  navigation: false
  navigationPosition: 'right'
  navigationTooltips: []

In addition to options for the fullPage.js-library, you can define the order of the of how the pages are rendered through order.by and order.dir, and whether to use the plugin's built-in CSS and JS with builtin_css and builtin_js. Further, you can define inline-styles for each section or slide through styles. This last property is a list of CSS-properties that will be applied to the page, or pages if using horizontal rules, in the order they appear. If change_titles is enabled, the plugin will use the titles of pages to override the title of the website upon navigation.

Page-specific configuration

Any configuration set in fullpage.yaml can be overridden through a page's FrontMatter, like this:

---
title: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
fullpage:
  order:
    by: date
    dir: desc
  options:
    navigation: true
---

Styling

The styles-property is defined by a list of property: value's and processed by the plugin. If the amount of pages exceed the amount of styles, they will be reused in the order they are defined. If the background-property is defined, but color is not, the plugin tries to estimate a suitable text-color to apply. The equations available to estimate this color is either 50 or YIQ, set by color_function.

You can of course also style the plugin using your theme's /css/custom.css-file, by targeting the #fullpage-selector which wraps around all of the plugin's content. This behavior can be enabled or disabled with the theme_css-setting. All pages have a data-anchor-attribute set on their sections, which can be utilized by CSS like this:

#fullpage [data-anchor="constructing-pages"] {
  background: red;
}

Using section- or slide-specific styles

If configured with shortcodes: true any section or slide can use shortcodes to declare specific styles. These take the format of [property=value] and are defined in multiples, eg:

[background=#195b69]
[color=cyan]

If the shortcode is found and applied, it is stripped from the further evaluated content. This method uses regular expressions for speed, and takes precedence over plugin- or page-defined styles.

Note: The syntax is restricted to [property=value]. Quotes or other unexpected characters not conforming to alphanumerics or dashes will make the expression fail to pick up the shortcode. The property or value must basically conform to the [a-zA-Z0-9-]+ regular expression, separated by an equal-character (=) and wrapped in square brackets ([]). For testing, use Regex101.

Injecting Twig

Using the inject_footer-setting you can append a Twig-template to each section globally, or a specific page's section. For example, inject_footer: "partials/inject.html.twig" will render the theme's partials/inject.html.twig-template and append it to the section(s). If the element was constructed like this: <div class="inject">Injected</div>, you could style it like this:

#fullpage .inject {
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 2em;
}

You can also arbitrarily execute Twig within a page's Markdown by enabling it in the FrontMatter with:

twig_first: true
process:
  twig: true

For example, <p>{{ site.author.name }}</p> will render the name of the author defined in site.yaml.

Creating a menu

The plugin makes a fullpage_menu-variable available through Twig on pages which use the fullscreen-template, which can be used to construct an overall menu of pages. It is an array with anchors and titles for each page, and a list of them with links to sections can be constructed like this:

<ul id="menu" class="menu">
{% for anchor, title in fullpage_menu %}
  <li>
    <a href="#{{ anchor }}">{{ title }}</a>
  </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

Usage

The page-structure used in Fullpage is essentially the same as normally in Grav, with a few notable exceptions: Any horizontal rule, --- in Markdown and <hr /> in HTML, is treated as a thematic break, as it is defined in HTML5. This means that if you separate content with a horizontal rule within a page, the plugin treats this as a new section. This is equivalent to using child-pages for new sections, which work recursively: You can have as many pages below the root-page as you want, each of them will be treated as a section. Further, these methods can be mixed by some pages using horizontal rules, and some not.

Nomenclature

With fullPage.js there is a distinction between sections and slides. Sections are single fullscreen pages listed vertically, and slides are single fullscreen pages listed horizontally. That is, if a page contains slides these are navigated horizontally rather than vertically. In the plugin, you define this by setting horizontal: true in the page's FrontMatter, which treats all content within it as slides.

Example structure:

/user/pages/book
├── fullpage.md
├── 01.down-the-rabbit-hole
│   └── default.md
├── 02.advice-from-a-caterpillar
│   └── default.md
├── 03.were-all-mad-here
│   └── default.md
├── 04.a-mad-tea-party
│   └── default.md
├── 05.the-queens-crocquet-ground
│   └── default.md
├── 06.postscript
└───└── default.md

As seen in this example structure, only the initial page uses the fullpage.html.twig-template. The template used for child-pages is irrelevant, as only the content of these pages are processed. The plugin defines the fullpage.html.twig-template, but you can override it through your theme.
