Hey Guys! I’ve used Hugo for many small scale projects, and am planning to use it for a larger scale one I’m working on. The code isn’t ready yet, I’m preemptively sharing this because I know I’m going to hit a wall when the project comes to this stage.

The Requirement:  
I have to create 3 ‘custom post types’ called 1) Events 2) Organizers 3)Communities.  
Under each event, I’d like a link to the Organizer & Communities facilitating the events to be present. Under each organizer and community profile, I want an archive of all the events they’ve facilitated & organized to show up.

I know in wordpress, I can use a relationship field and get away with this easily, but am really wanting to achieve this in Hugo.

Thanks for the response! I’ve gone through this article multiple times, and though it makes sense what he’s doing on the article, the moment I see the source code I am finding it super confusing. Have you found any other examples of people using Related Content for achieving this? 🙂
