Add customized shortcode

dev

As a developer, I’d like to add new shortcode to zen theme.
This theme has useful shortcodes, so I want to customize and add new ones.
I have add new html in layouts/shortcodes, js in assets/js like search or contact but can’t find self-defined shortcodes.
To add new shortcodes, what should I do?

You are doing it right… can you elaborate on what goes wrong?

Actaully I forked from origin repo and modified forked repo.
Then run go get github.com/forked_repo/hugo-theme-zen/v3, go conflicted module by name.

go: github.com/forked_repo/hugo-theme-zen/v3@v3.0.0-20230712211426-f27304c9c456: parsing go.mod:
        module declares its path as: github.com/frjo/hugo-theme-zen/v3
                but was required as: github.com/forked_repo/hugo-theme-zen/v3

So I cant check what repo I am using now.

You should change the module path in go.mod as well if you’re going to use your fork.

module github.com/forked_repo/hugo-theme-zen/v3

go 1.18

If you want to see your shortcodes to be merged into upstream theme, please create a PR (without changing the go.mod) and waiting for reviewing.
