Filtering not working as i expect

support
1

Due to me being a new user i can’t post my full code for some reason

But here is the problem if you go into my github you will find members.html in the _defaults layout here are functions that are trying to filter wat data to display in a certain container. using the staff or student category you can see these being correctly applied in the members.yaml file

The filtes works when you leave “staff” or “student” empty as in it displays nothing but when u type in “staff” or “student” it displays al the cards not just the "staff or “student” cards

You have:

data/members.yaml

members:
  - name: John Doe
    bio: Software Engineer
    image: /Img/blank-profile-picture-973460_960_720.png
    url: /john/
    category: staff
  - name: Bob Smith
    bio: Data Analyst
    image: /Img/blank-profile-picture-973460_960_720.png
    url: /bob/
    category: student

The file itself is a data object, so you would need to range over site.Data.members.members. I suggest you make your data file an array, not a an object.

Also, you might want to consider using taxonomy (or even a separate content type) for this instead of a data file. Much easier to work with.

Could you give a basic example of how i would do this with taxonomy? I’m quite new at hugo and this looked like the easiest way, the taxonomies are still a bit confusing to me.

Here’s an example:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-forum-topic-48874 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-forum-topic-48874
cd hugo-forum-topic-48874
hugo server

In this case the taxonomy is authors. We can assign one or more authors to any a page, then click on the author name to get their info (bio, title, photo, whatever).

I’ve made a new branch on my github called “taxonomie-attempt” currently i’m trying to implement these but its not displaying any of my members, the documentation is a bit confusing atm

When I git checkout Taxonomy-attempt I see no change. Did you push your changes?

My bad the push did not go through, it did now

This stuff in your front matter:

taxonomy: 
    member: true
    category: staff

should just be:

category: staff

These pages are already in the members directory, so they are members.

If you feel you are at the beginning of a steep learning curve, you might just stick with what you know.
