Help with filtering .Site.Pages and pagination

support

I’m having a little trouble with my index.html template and I was hoping someone could help me debug this. My goal is to have the first post on the first page show up in full using the idx_post or idx_image partials, with all other content displaying their summary. Below is the relevant part of my template annotated by my intent for clarity.

{{ partial "header.html" . }}  

{{ $paginator := .Paginate (after 1 .Site.Pages) 5 }}

I want my paginator to contain all .Site.Pages but the first, and go by 5s at a time.

{{ if .Paginator.HasPrev }}

{{ else }}

  {{- range first 1 .Site.Pages }}
    {{ if eq .Type "post" }}
      {{ partial "idx_post.html" . }}
    {{- end }}
    {{ if eq .Type "image" }}
      {{ partial "idx_image.html" . }}
    {{- end }}
  {{ end }}

{{- end }}

I couldn’t find the right way to say “not true” in the documentation so what I’m trying to do here is basically say "If there is a prior page, don’t do anything, but if there isn’t (e.g. you’re on page one), then render the first bit of content in .Site.Pages using these partials based on type.

{{- range $paginator.Pages }}
  {{ if eq .Type "post" }}
    {{ .Render "summary" }}
  {{- end }}
  {{ if eq .Type "image" }}
    {{ partial "idx_image.html" . }}
  {{- end }}
{{- end }}

And lastly, over all the content in my paginator, render the summary template for all content types but image where I want the full image post type to render.

The result of this seeing a summary on the first page and never seeing the idx_post.html template being used.

I used to see the full content rendered with this template, but the first post was on every page:

{{ partial "header.html" . }}  
{{- range first 1 .Site.Pages }}
  {{ if eq .Type "post" }}
    {{ partial "idx_post.html" . }}
  {{- end }}
  {{ if eq .Type "image" }}
    {{ partial "idx_image.html" . }}
  {{- end }}
{{- end }}
{{ $paginator := .Paginate (after 1 .Site.Pages) 5 }}
{{- range $paginator.Pages }}
      {{ if eq .Type "post" }}
        {{ .Render "summary" }}
      {{- end }}
      {{ if eq .Type "image" }}
        {{ partial "idx_image.html" . }}
      {{- end }}
    {{- end }}
