How do I get a list of taxonomy terms ordered by weight where the date is within the last year?

Howdy. I’m using this code to show the ten most used terms on my site:

<ul class="tags rec">
	{{- $.Scratch.Set "limit" 0 }}
	{{- range $key, $value := .Data.Terms.ByCount }}
		{{- $.Scratch.Set "limit" (add ($.Scratch.Get "limit") 1) }}
		{{- if le ($.Scratch.Get "limit") 10 }}
	<li><a href="/tags/{{ $value.Name | urlize }}/">{{ $value.Name }}</a></li>
		{{- end }}
	{{- end }}
</ul>

Which is cool, but I was wondering if there was a way to limit it to the most used terms only in the last year? Can one use where to filter terms, then sort just that subset by counts?

Not with one-liner code, I think, though I’m happy to be corrected on this.

With some $.Scratch-ing:

First get all tags and their dates

{{ $pages := where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "post" }} 
{{ $.Scratch.Set "tagsArr" (slice ) }}
{{ range $pages }}
  {{ if isset .Params "tags" }}
    {{ $d := .Date }}
    {{ range .Params.tags }}
      {{ $.Scratch.Add "tagsArr" (dict "tag" . "date" $d ) }}
    {{ end }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Then get just the tags for the current year

{{ $.Scratch.Set "tagCountsByYear" (dict ) }}
{{ range $k, $v := ($.Scratch.Get "tagsArr") }}
  {{ if eq (now.Format "2006") ($v.date.Format "2006") }}
  <!-- Count -->
    {{ if isset ($.Scratch.Get "tagCountsByYear") $v.tag }}
      {{ $c := index ( $.Scratch.Get "tagCountsByYear" ) $v.tag }}
      {{ $.Scratch.SetInMap "tagCountsByYear" $v.tag (add 1 $c ) }}
    {{ else }}
      {{ $.Scratch.SetInMap "tagCountsByYear" $v.tag 1 }}
    {{ end }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Get the tenth value when sorted descending

{{ $.Scratch.Set "tenth" 0 }}
{{ range $i, $e := sort ($.Scratch.Get "tagCountsByYear") "value" "desc" }}
  {{ if eq $i 9  }}
  {{ $.Scratch.Set "tenth" $e }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

And finally show only those tags whose counts are greater than the tenth value

<ul>
{{ range $tag, $count := ($.Scratch.Get "tagCountsByYear") }}
  {{ if ge $count ($.Scratch.Get "tenth")  }}
    <li><a href="/tags/{{$tag | urlize}}">{{$tag}}</a> - {{$count}}</li>
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}
</ul>

You may need to change some of the code to fit your own, but give it a whirl. I’m hoping though someone else can say if a shorter / less verbose way is possible.

Thank you! That gave me enough information to go on. Here’s what I came up with. Note that I’ve added a config param, Site.Params.recentTagYears to have some control over how many years back to look.

{{- $yearAgo := now.AddDate (int (mul -1 .Site.Params.recentTagYears)) 0 0 }}
{{- $pages := where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "in" .Site.Params.listTypes }}
{{- $.Scratch.Set "yearTags" (dict) }}
{{- range $pages }}
	{{- if gt .Date $yearAgo }}{{ range .Params.tags }}
		{{ if isset ($.Scratch.Get "yearTags") . }}
			{{- $c := index ( $.Scratch.Get "yearTags" ) . }}
			{{- $.Scratch.SetInMap "yearTags" . (dict "tag" . "cnt" (add 1 (index $c "cnt"))) }}
		{{- else }}
			{{- $.Scratch.SetInMap "yearTags" . (dict "tag" . "cnt" 1) }}
		{{- end }}
	{{- end }}{{ end }}
{{- end }}
{{- with $.Scratch.Get "yearTags" }}
<h4>Top Ten Recent Tags</h4>
<ul class="tags rec">
	{{- $.Scratch.Set "limit" 0 }}
	{{- range sort . ".cnt" "desc" }}
		{{- $.Scratch.Set "limit" (add ($.Scratch.Get "limit") 1) }}
		{{- if le ($.Scratch.Get "limit") 10 }}
	<li><a href="/tags/{{ .tag | urlize }}/">{{ .tag }} (({{ .cnt }})</a></li>
		{{- end }}
	{{- end }}
</ul>
{{- end }}

How do I list only one tag according to latest time in a masonry column?

This is the content files

My html:

{{define "projects"}}
<div class="container">
    <div class="masonry">
        {{range $index, $val := .Site.Taxonomies.tags.children}}
        <div class="masonry-item">
            <a href="{{.RelPermalink}}">
                <div class="masonry-content">
                    <img class="img-fluid" src="{{.Page.Params.Image}}" alt="{{.Title}}">
                    <h3 class="masonry-title">{{.Title}}</h3>
                    <p class="masonry-description">{{.Summary}}</p>
                </div>
            </a>
        </div>
        {{end}}
    </div>
</div>
{{end}}

There are other 4 tags which will occupy other columns, and each will direct to its page using the permalink. The output is

I’m thinking about 2 options,

  1. Can I loop 5 different tags in home page and redirect to its respective pages, or
  2. Create separate tags for home page and include links

?
