Theme Documentation
SCSS Compile
We use the build in SCSS-Compiler from October. The first page load takes a bit time. If you want to use your own Compiler or your precompiled CSS you have to change the markup in "Partial -> site -> tmcss.htm". Please note, that we use the SCSS Folder for custom markup in our own blocks made for Argon. Make sure that you don't forget to include this files in your CSS.
MetaTags
We have included several Meta Tags. You will find the Partial in "partial -> site -> tmmeta.htm". For our Blog, there is a block where the Meta Tags are defined. The Tags are related to the url, if you change your blog url, you need to change url in tmmeta too, otherwise they won't work.
Here is the markup:
{% elseif this.page.url == '/blog' %}
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" >
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="{{ this.page.meta_description|default(this.theme.site_description) }}">
<meta name="title" content="{{ this.page.meta_title|default(this.page.title) }} - {{ this.theme.theme_site_name }}">
<meta name="author" content="{{ this.theme.site_author }}">
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
<title>{{ this.page.meta_title|default(this.page.title) }} - {{ this.theme.theme_site_name }}</title>
<link rel="canonical" href="{{ '/'|app}}{{ this.page.url }}">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="{{ this.theme.settings_favicon|media }}">
<meta property="og:title" content="{{ this.page.meta_title|default(this.page.title) }} - {{ this.theme.theme_site_name }}">
<meta property="og:url" content="{{ '/'|app}}{{ this.page.url }}">
<meta property="og:image" content="{{ 'assets/images/img/600x250.png'|theme }}">
<meta property="og:site_name" content="{{ this.theme.theme_site_name }}">
<meta property="og:description" content="{{ this.page.meta_description|default(this.theme.site_description) }}">
Rainlab.Translate
Note: RainLab.Translate must be installed. The theme won't work proper, because we use Translate Strings. So please install RainLab.Translate. We set the plugin to required. Normally it must be installed after you purchase the theme and install it.

Found the theme useful on 27 Oct, 2019
Using it for a client at the moment. It's a polished, well-designed theme and if you have some experience developing for October you can easily extend the reusable "content blocks" and even create your own. Argon is a nice spin on Bootstrap so your site will at least look slightly different than what you'd get going with plain Bootstrap. Also, as the version history shows (click on the "Current version" on the left) the developer is obviously putting a lot of effort into keeping it up-to date. This was one of the main reasons we picked this over the many other alternatives.
P.s. we installed the theme by logging into October and then attaching it to a project. This did not go smoothly: none of the required plugins were installed automatically and all of the images referenced in the example pages included in the theme have URL's set like this: /storage/app/media/demo/theme/promo-1.png. This is incorrect, the theme's pictures are stored in /themes/matethemes-argon/assets/images/theme/promo-1.png. The developer may want to correct this. But neither of these were an issue for us since we just installed the necessary plugins manually and of course we're not using the demo images in the actual website we are developing.
So, thanks and keep up the good work! Long live October!

Thank you very much for this detailed review.
I will take a look at the theme, why the required plugins are not installed automatically. They are set as required in the theme.yaml
The images are included, you are right. I don't have any idea how to add the images in the media manager on installation. So the fields are blank. Do you have any suggestions to solve this?
Thank you for buying our theme!
