## Add Content and Front Matter to Section Templates
|
|
|
|
To effectively leverage section page templates, you should first understand Hugo's [content organization](/content-management/organization/) and, specifically, the purpose of `_index.md` for adding content and front matter to section and other list pages.
|
|
|
|
## Section Template Lookup Order
|
|
|
|
See [Template Lookup](/templates/lookup-order/).
|
|
|
|
## Page Kinds
|
|
|
|
Every `Page` in Hugo has a `.Kind` attribute.
|
|
|
|
| Kind | Description | Example |
|
|
|----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `home` | The home page | `/index.html` |
|
|
| `page` | A page showing a _regular page_ | `my-post` page (`/posts/my-post/index.html`) |
|
|
| `section` | A page listing _regular pages_ from a given [_section_][sections] | `posts` section (`/posts/index.html`) |
|
|
| `taxonomy` | A page listing _regular pages_ from a given _taxonomy term_ | page for the term `awesome` from `tags` taxonomy (`/tags/awesome/index.html`) |
|
|
| `taxonomyTerm` | A page listing terms from a given _taxonomy_ | page for the `tags` taxonomy (`/tags/index.html`) |
|
|
|
|
## `.Site.GetPage` with Sections
|
|
|
|
`Kind` can easily be combined with the [`where` function][where] 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][getpage] looks up an index page of a given `Kind` and `path`.
|
|
|
|
You can call `.Site.GetPage` with two arguments: `kind` (one of the valid values
|
|
of `Kind` from above) and `kind value`.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `{{ .Site.GetPage "section" "posts" }}`
|
|
- `{{ .Site.GetPage "page" "search" }}`
|
|
|
|
## Example: Creating a Default Section Template
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/_default/section.html" download="section.html" >}}
|
|
{{ define "main" }}
|
|
<main>
|
|
{{ .Content }}
|
|
<ul class="contents">
|
|
{{ range .Paginator.Pages }}
|
|
<li>{{.Title}}
|
|
<div>
|
|
{{ partial "summary.html" . }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
{{ partial "pagination.html" . }}
|
|
</main>
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
### 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>
|
|
```
