1 Steam

1.1 Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition

I purchased Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition from cdkeys after comparing prices at gg.deals. Rather than purchasing it directly from Steam this time, Cdkeys offered the best price.

Activate it on Steam without problem:

1.2 Winter Sale Dec 02 - Jan 05

2 DoIt Theme ~ Major Update with Aplayer Shortcode

2.1 Sidebar

https://github.com/HEIGE-PCloud/DoIt/pull/426

[params.page]
    # whether to enable the fontawesome extended syntax
    fontawesome = true
    # whether to show the full text content in RSS
    rssFullText = false
    # Page style ("normal", "wide")
    pageStyle = "normal"
    # whether to enable series navigation
    seriesNavigation = true
    [params.page.toc]
      # whether to enable the table of the contents
      enable = true
      # whether to keep the static table of the contents in front of the post
      keepStatic = false
      # whether to make the table of the contents in the sidebar automatically collapsed
      auto = true

Since the last update, it’s necessary to add [params.page.toc] to config.toml or the sidebar will not display.

2.2 Aplayer

https://github.com/HEIGE-PCloud/DoIt/pull/406

of DoIt Theme added aplayer shortcode for more advanced controls (custom playlist, mini mode, custom audio type…) over the music player.

You can use the aplayer shortcode along with the audio shortcode to reach full power of APlayer.js.

The aplayer shortcode is used to create an APlayer instance, and the audio shortcode is used to store data about each music file. Please refer to APlayer.js documentation for all options.

Example aplayer and audio input:

{{< aplayer fixed=false mini=false autoplay=false theme="#b7daff" loop="all" order="list" preload="auto" volume=0.7 mutex=true lrcType=1 listFolded=false listMaxHeight="" storageName="aplayer-setting" >}}
    {{< audio name="Song1" artist="Artist1" url="/music/song1.mp3" cover="/images/music.webp" >}}
    {{< /audio >}}
    {{< audio name="Song2" artist="Artist2" url="/music/song2.mp3" cover="/images/music.webp" >}}
        [00:00.00]APlayer audio1
        [00:04.01]is
        [00:08.02]amazing
    {{< /audio >}}
{{< /aplayer >}}
