Change the look for a blog post and add views at the bottom of the blog page about gatsby-starter-portfolio-minimal-theme HOT 7 CLOSED

Hey @bhuwan1998 and sorry for the late reply!

Hm, good question. I think it might be possible to customize the blog post page by shadowing the following file: https://github.com/konstantinmuenster/gatsby-theme-portfolio-minimal/blob/main/gatsby-theme-portfolio-minimal/src/templates/Article/index.tsx

We use this as a template when generating blog post pages dynamically upon build.

Hope it helps!

Hi @konstantinmuenster, just a small follow up question regarding the blog. Is it possible to get page total count of page views from google analytics. As a junior developer I just wanted some advice.

Usually, these get tracked automatically in Google Analytics since each post has a distinct page and hence page view. So there's no need to do anything special on the theme-side.

Sorry @konstantinmuenster I meant I want to display the page count at the bottom to show total views on a blog post.

ah, I see. For that, you'd need to edit the template file that I referenced earlier. Either you store the page count value in a database or you are able to retrieve the count from the Google API directly (not sure about the latter).

I think there's a library I researched that is basically an API used to get data from Google analytics. But anyway I need to change the footer by shadowing the blog page. So I guess you've put me on the correct path. Thanks 👍

Having a little trouble shadowing the Article.tsx because of styles.module.css import. Every other import not from the module itself has been shadowed in the directory. So I found out that it may be because of the tsconfig.json. So initially I had just shadowed the styles.module.css to change the look of the articles in terms of colours. Do you have any advice how to fix this ?
