KooIoT data collection cloud (ThingsCloud)

ThingsCloud

It is well-known that Machine Data Collection generates substantial value to an organization through increased productivity and quality; but many still struggle with how and where to start. What data is important, and will your chosen cloud platform scale to support future needs?

Although the popular ThingsLink IoT Gateway supports data collection for a number of cloud platforms, such as Amazon and Azure, many organizations find selecting their cloud platform to be a complex task.

With the ThingsCloud, we have made the choice easy.

Theme development

Ghost themes are written with a templating language called handlebars, which has a set of dynamic helpers to insert your data into template files. For example: {{author.name}} outputs the name of the current author.

The best way to learn how to write your own Ghost theme is to have a look at the source code for Casper, which is heavily commented and should give you a sense of how everything fits together.

• default.hbs is the main template file, all contexts will load inside this file unless specifically told to use a different template.
• post.hbs is the file used in the context of viewing a post.
• index.hbs is the file used in the context of viewing the home page.
• and so on

We've got full and extensive theme documentation which outlines every template file, context and helper that you can use. You can also get started with our useful starter theme, which includes the most common foundations and components required to build your own theme.

If you want to chat with other people making Ghost themes to get any advice or help, there's also a themes section on our public Ghost forum.
