As mentioned earlier, I’m now running a Hugo static site generator. It’s going great so far so I decided to install a CMS as phase 2.
The open-source CMS I’m running is built by Forestry. And it only took a little tinkering to get the template configuration solved.
Site import and config was easy. But I spent an hour or so trying to build a new Post template from scratch (which I almost got completed) before I came across a paragraph in their docs detailing how I could find an existing post and create a new template from it.
So boom! I found my old starter template with detailed field names, filled in the default values, did a couple slight tweaks. Now that Post template is available as a starter for all posts going forward - including this one - with the push of a button.
Turns out all I had to do was RTFM.
