Add Content and Front Matter to Section Templates
To effectively leverage section page templates, you should first understand Hugo's content organization and, specifically, the purpose of _index.md
for adding content and front matter to section and other list pages.
Section Template Lookup Order
The lookup order for section templates is as follows:
/layouts/section/<SECTION>.html
/layouts/<SECTION>/list.html
/layouts/_default/section.html
/layouts/_default/list.html
/themes/<THEME>/layouts/section/<SECTION>.html
/themes/<THEME>/layouts/<SECTION>/list.html
/themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/section.html
/themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/list.html
.Site.GetPage
with Sections
Every Page
in Hugo has a .Kind
attribute. Kind
can easily be combined with the where
function in your templates to create kind-specific lists of content. This method is ideal for creating lists, but there are times where you may want to fetch just the index page of a single section via the section's path.
The .GetPage
function looks up an index page of a given Kind
and path
.
{{% note %}}
.GetPage
is not currently supported to grab single content files but may be supported in the future.
{{% /note %}}
You can call .Site.GetPage
with two arguments: kind
and kind value
.
These are the valid values for 'kind':
home
section
taxonomy
taxonomyTerm
Example: Creating a Default Section Template
{{< code file="layouts/_default/section.html" download="section.html" >}} {{ define "main" }}
{{ .Content }}-
{{ range .Paginator.Pages }}
- {{.Title}}
{{ partial "summary.html" . }}
{{ end }}
Example: Using .Site.GetPage
The .Site.GetPage
example that follows assumes the following project directory structure:
.
└── content
├── blog
│ ├── _index.md # "title: My Hugo Blog" in the front matter
│ ├── post-1.md
│ ├── post-2.md
│ └── post-3.md
└── events #Note there is no _index.md file in "events"
├── event-1.md
└── event-2.md
.Site.GetPage
will return nil
if no _index.md
page is found. Therefore, if content/blog/_index.md
does not exist, the template will output the section name:
<h1>{{ with .Site.GetPage "section" "blog" }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}</h1>
Since blog
has a section index page with front matter at content/blog/_index.md
, the above code will return the following result:
<h1>My Hugo Blog</h1>
If we try the same code with the events
section, however, Hugo will default to the section title because there is no content/events/_index.md
from which to pull content and front matter:
<h1>{{ with .Site.GetPage "section" "events" }}{{ .Title }}{{ end }}</h1>
Which then returns the following:
<h1>Events</h1>
