I am just getting started with Blot and would like to fork an unsupported template. I've previously tinkered around with that but recently with the changes to the blot site, I'm finding myself unable to access the "Fork" button on that Unsupported Templates page. The only button available to me is the "Preview" button. Is anyone experiencing the same? Does anyone know of a workaround? I would like to preview and fork specifically the Essay Old and Essay Two templates.
Yes, same here. Since the site's update the "Fork" button is somehow overlapped by the "Preview" function, probably a HTML or CSS glitch.
Also, sadly, the developer reference has gone :(
Answered 4 months ago · Improve this answerThank you for the link to the templates on github.
Is the next step downloading this template, popping it into my Templates folder and editing it locally? I'm currently on the blog template, selected the edit locally option, replaced the blog template with the Essay Old template in my Templates folder, blot syncs, and I'm running into a "cannot GET" error. I tried popping my old blog template back in, still the same error.
I know relatively little about how editing templates work under the hood so any help would be appreciated!
Answered 4 months ago · Improve this answerSorry about all this, it's now once again possible to fork these templates to your site. I foolishly broke the CSS on the template archive page before leaving for Christmas break
The developer docs should also now be accessible again
