Hello all, I’m trying to use Hugo to generate pages dynamically building from some partials as defined by an array defined in the front matter: +++ Description = "A demo page" menu = "main" components = [ "a", "b", "c" ] +++ However I don’t want the user to have to put in the full path to e…

You can use printf: https://github.com/bep/bepsays.com/blob/master/layouts/partials/menu.ace#L20 The example looks weird, but works. Search for printf in this doc: http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/ Also, if you want you use $pathoutside of the range – in the upcoming Huog release (or build fr…

Perfect, thanks @bjornerik ! For the record, the following worked for my case: {{ range $index, $component := .Params.components }} {{ $path := $component | printf "%s/%s" $.Site.Params.componentdir | printf "%s" }} {{ partial $path }} {{ end }} Thanks again!

I’ve encountered a further problem with the solution above, I wasn’t initially passing the context with a . after the partial $path when I try to do this, it fails. I’ve tried wrapping the path in quotes to ensure it’s a string, but that’s not necessary and then breaks the string concatenation to …

In your case the “.” is $component = string. {{ partial $path $. }} Or similar should work.

Ah, got you, unfortunately $. didn’t work to access the parent context, but just caching the . context outside of the range loop and using that, has done the trick. Thank you for the prompt response!

Every way Ive tried this, I cannot get the actual partial to execute. I have an array of partials in my sites config, I will be pulling in different partials for different sites. This code: {{ range $index, $component := $.Site.Params.components }} {{ $widget := $component | printf "{{ partial %q…

[image] kr3wangel: {{ $widget := $component | printf “{{ partial %q” | printf “%s . }}” }} Yea, that doesn’t wok … here is a totally untested from me: {{ $widget := (partial (printf "%s%s" $.Site.Params.componentdir $component )) }}

Thanks @bep ! Just had to the “/” in between the %s’s. Working code: {{ range $index, $component := $.Site.Params.components }} {{ $widget := (partial (printf "%s/%s" $.Site.Params.componentdir $component )) }} {{ $widget }} {{ end }} The global Params within those partials are not working now th…

**Update I modified my config to just include that “/”, keeping the code cleaner. {{ range $index, $component := $.Site.Params.components }} {{ $widget := (partial (printf "%s%s" $.Site.Params.componentdir $component )) }} {{ $widget }} {{ end }}

Hello, I have an issue to something related. in page.md --- customdata: test --- in the data/test.yml hero: title: Super Hero contentsection: title: Some nice content and in the template file {{ $data := index .Site.Data .Params.customdata }} {{ range $index, $element := $data}} <div> {…
