Customizing the "Contact" widget in Hugo Academic

byrdjb · August 25, 2019, 8:56pm

Hello,

I am wanting to add a few words to the part of the Hugo Academic template that says Contact & that provides a form for emailing me.

Can anyone point me to the line of code that houses the word “Contact” so that I can add a little context to that message?

Site is live at byrdlab.org.

Thanks!
Brian

Hiya! The Academic theme was created by @neutreno. It has a dedicated issue queue and community chat.

My guess is you’ll need to override the contacts partial

github.com

gcushen/hugo-academic/blob/master/layouts/partials/widgets/contact.html

{{ $ := .root }}
{{ $page := .page }}
{{ $autolink := default true $page.Params.autolink }}

<!-- Contact widget -->
<div class="row contact-widget">
  <div class="col-12 col-lg-4 section-heading">
    <h1>{{ with $page.Title }}{{ . | markdownify }}{{ end }}</h1>
    {{ with $page.Params.subtitle }}<p>{{ . | markdownify }}</p>{{ end }}
  </div>
  <div class="col-12 col-lg-8">
    {{ with $page.Content }}{{ . }}{{ end }}

    {{ if $page.Params.email_form }}

    {{ $post_action := "" }}
    {{ if eq $page.Params.email_form 1 }}
      {{ $post_action = "netlify" }}
    {{ else }}
      {{ if not site.Params.email }}

So on your site, make a copy of the above file and put it in /layouts/partials/widgets/contact.html and make the changes you want. When your site is built, Hugo will use your version of the template rather than the theme.
