# Headless bundles and content structure **URL:** \ **Category:** support\ **Created:** [January 8, 2019, 11:34pm UTC](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/headless-bundles-and-content-structure/16234 "2019-01-08T23:34:06Z")\ **Posts on this page:** 15\ **Page:** 1

My objective is to create a page `/sponsors/` that lists all sponsors, `sponsor1` and `sponsor2`, and show their titles, descriptions and logos. I want to use this information on other pages as well, such as the homepage. I do not want to create single pages for the sponsors, so no `/sponsors/sponsor1/`, which is why I’ve made them headless. This is the content structure I’ve created: ``` content sponsors _index.md sponsor1 index.md (headless = true) logo.png sponsor2 index.md (headless = true) logo.png ``` Is this the correct approach? I’m struggling with getting this to work. I’ve been trying to do this: ``` {{ $headlessbundle := .Site.GetPage "/sponsors/sponsor1" }} {{ range ( $headlessbundle.Resources.ByType "page" ) }} {{.Title}} {{ end }} ``` which gives the title of sponsor1. I don’t know if I’m doing this overly complicated, or just not understanding correctly. I’ve searched through the forum and read the docs. Appreciate any guidance. ---

I’ve managed to get this to work how I want, but the solution doesn’t feel right. Any suggestions? **Content Folder** ``` content sponsors _index.md sponsor1 index.md (headless = true) sponsor1.md sponsor1.png sponsor2 index.md (headless = true) sponsor2.md sponsor2.png ``` **sponsors/\_index.md** ``` +++ date = "2019-01-08T18:14:52+01:00" description = "Description" title = "Title" +++ ``` **sponsors1/index.md** ``` +++ date = "2019-01-08T18:14:52+01:00" description = "Description" title = "Sponsor1" headless = "true" [[resources]] src = "/sponsors/sponsor1/sponsor1.png" name = "sponsor1.png" +++ ``` **layouts/sponsors/list.html** ``` {{$headlessbundle1 := .Site.GetPage "/sponsors/sponsor1"}} {{range ($headlessbundle1.Resources.ByType "page")}} {{.Title}} - {{.Description}} - {{.Content}} {{end}} {{range ($headlessbundle1.Resources.ByType "image")}}

{{end}} ``` ---

If you have a lot of sponsors that’s a lot of headless bundles to configure. The bright side through is that with this cumbersome structure you will be able to call each sponsor’s details whenever and wherever you want. However if these are meant to go in a simple row or a table then the above approach seems like overkill. In this case I would create just one headless bundle and enter all relevant resources along with their meta data in a long `index.md` then I would use a naming convention for all the logos to control their order i.e. `00-.png`, `01-.png` and then simply range through them as needed in the template. ---

Thanks. There will only be 2-3 sponsors. Is there a way I can use the same structure, but not have to repeat the same logic and hard code the path to each sponsor? I would use a range, but it seems you can’t range over headless bundles. I’m looking for something like this: ``` {{$headlessbundle := .Site.GetPage "/sponsors/%s" (some_variable)}} ``` where some variable would be sponsor1, sponsor2. ---

Try something like this (untested) ```nohighlight {{$slice := slice "sponsor1" "sponsor2" }} {{range $slice}} {{$headlessbundle := $.Site.GetPage (printf "/sponsors/%s" .)}} {{range ($headlessbundle.Resources.ByType "page")}} {{.Title}} - {{.Description}} - {{.Content}} {{end}} {{range ($headlessbundle.Resources.ByType "image")}}

Yep, as @alexandros mentioned, was missing the `slice` keyword. ---

Thanks again. Unfortunately, I get this error message now: `execute of template failed: template: sponsors/list.html:16:30: executing "sponsors/list.html" at <.Site.GetPage>: can't evaluate field Site in type string` Not sure if this is to do with headless bundles. ---

I think I’ve solved it now. Need to add a $ to .Site.GetPage ---

It’s a context issue. I’ve updated the code snippet again. ---

Thanks again for helping out. You too @alexandros🙏 ---

As of Hugo v.53, the .Site var has a lowercase alias **site** that behaves the same in any context. I have simplified my code by replacing all instances of .Site , $.Site etc… with site and it works the same. Please correct me if I’m mistaken, I’d hate to spread misinformation. ---

You are correct. [Here’s a refactoring I did recently](https://gitlab.com/kaushalmodi/hugo-theme-refined/commit/bb4de7a313680028af4918d134fd08d2ac38eb89): Replaced `$.Site` and `.Site` with just `site`, and the same for `.Hugo` to `hugo`. ---

Hi, I have a similar issue too. It doesn’t seem like I understood what headless is for. It says it won’t be published, only included as a ressource in pages mentioning it. But here I have ```auto --- headless: true bookToc: false --- ``` in the file intro\_en.md, and it does get published, and appears as a menu entry unless I add `bookhidden:true`.
