Different index for some categories

[Theo_Chapelot]

Hello,

I’m pretty new to Hugo, and i’m trying to have different templates for my categories.

To sum it up, i have Category A, B, C and D.
For the moment, they use the template list.html in layouts/categories.

I would like to have a basic template, a template for C and a template for D ( still a listing template ).

Is it possible and how ?

Also, i would like to do some translation using these templates ( i have a folder for my 2 language in content ). Is is possible to have something like slug.md or _index.md for a category list page ?

Thank you !

AFAIK there’s no official why to have different templates for each category, but you can hack some stuff based on these 2 threads:

Creating category specific templates

I’m new to Hugo and didn’t consider that approach for lack of knowledge. It would work but I plan on having more categories as time goes by. I’m sticking with the partials approach for now, as all that will change is inside the same div. And thanks for the reference link, it will surely come in handy @bep thank you for the pointer, here’s the code I am using in case someone has the same goal: {{ $category := replace (lower .Title) " " "-"}} {{ $catpartial := (print "catego…

Use different layout for a specific Term in a Taxonomy

@callicoder after reviewing the docs, I am not sure you can call a template for a specific category. I am sure someone will come along and confirm or deny that shortly.

@sjardim Your second link has the answer. In Hugo, we can define different Taxonomies, such as Tags and Categories. Each of these can have their own layout files.

Thanks, @brunoamaral! I was not sure because I did not have to implement this yet.
