Neuhub Tab Theme for Hubzilla
The Neuhub Tab theme is designed to be flexible so that it supports a variety of websites, including content websites, membership websites, and online communities.
It can be customized in a number of ways, by setting configuration variables on the server, or by using Extra Theme Variables addon.
Enabling the Neuhub Tab Theme
Neuhub must be installed by a Hubzilla Administrator who can install additional features.
If your Administrator has installed and enabled Neuhub, you may see additional options, such as new themes, in your channel's Display Settings.
To switch your channels' theme to Neuhub Tab:
- Go to Settings.
- In most themes, you would click on your avatar in the navbar and click on "Settings."
- Click on Display Settings.
- Select Neuhub Tab.
- Click on Submit to save your changes.
If the Neuhub themes are not listed, either the Administrator did not install them, or did not enable them for your use.
Comparison to Redbasic
One of the main differences between Redbasic, the default theme for Hubzilla, and Neuhub Tab is the ability to set sitewide navigation. Redbasic gives each channel its own mini-site and the user has control over the layout and appearance of their channel. There is very little global navigation, and no link back to the home page. Neuhub Tab, on the other hand, is designed so that the administrator can set a global home page and navigation for the entire website. This is more suitable for content websites, or for membership websites or public hubs that want to draw attention to certain information, such as the community rules.
