Ghost application page (page-ghost-application.hbs)
The Ghost application page is a custom page template used as a reviewer / scout landing page: capability-to-evidence mapping, doc-backed highlight cards, and links to docs, blog, about, and contact. It uses the slug ghost-application (not ghost, which is reserved for the Ghost admin).
Activation
- In Ghost Admin, create a Page (not a post) with the URL slug ghost-application.
- In the page’s template dropdown, select Ghost application (or the label that matches
page-ghost-application.hbs). - Publish. The page is available at
yoursite.com/ghost-application/.
Structure (section rhythm)
- Hero (Cream) — Title and subtext from theme settings (
ghost_hero_title,ghost_hero_subtext). Optional inline links to docs intro, blog, and about. - Capability matrix (Paper) — Five rows (partial
ghost-responsibility-row): heading, proof text, and optional related documentation links (doc_url,doc_label) to specific pages ondocs.mannyroy.com. - Implementation highlights (Olive) — Six cards (partial
ghost-highlight-card): each card has a title, description,doc_href(external docs URL; do not useurl— Ghost resolves that to the current page), and link_label for unique link text. - Explore + related posts (Paper) — Buttons for Documentation, Blog, About, Contact; list of posts tagged ghost-application (up to 5). Heading from
ghost_posts_heading. - CTA (Maroon) — Single CTA (partial
cta-section); headline and button from theme settings.
Theme settings used (group: ghost)
| Key | Type | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
ghost_hero_title | text | (see theme) | Hero H1 |
ghost_hero_subtext | text | One sentence | Hero subtext |
ghost_cta_headline | text | — | CTA section headline |
ghost_cta_button | text | — | CTA button label |
ghost_posts_heading | text | — | Heading above tagged posts |
Edit in Settings → Design → Theme, group ghost. Matrix rows and highlight card copy live in page-ghost-application.hbs; partials support optional doc links and link_label as above.
Posts strategy
- Create a tag Ghost Application (slug
ghost-application) in Ghost Admin, or use only the slug for filtering. - Tag posts you want listed on this page.
- The template uses
{{#get "posts" filter="tag:ghost-application" limit="5"}}. If none are tagged, the section shows a short message.
Navigation
Add a nav item (e.g. “Application” or “Portfolio guide”) pointing to /ghost-application/ in Settings → Design → Navigation.
