How to access home page params from any context

[ozwronski]

Problem:

style="background-image: url('{{ .Site.Home.Params.image }}')" does not work.

The ‘home page parameters’ are they set in config.toml or in the front matter of a markdown file?

@funkydan2, here is the template I am using: https://github.com/netlify-templates/kaldi-hugo-cms-template

Within jumbotron.html, I am looking to replace:

<div class="pv5 pv6-l ph3 bg-center cover" style="background-image: url('{{.imageUrl}}')">

with:

<div class="pt3 h5 cover bg-bottom-right" style="background-image: url('{{ .Site.Home.Params.image }}')">

The home page parameters are set in a mark down file in site/content/values

I fixed this by setting a variable imageUrl to be .Site.Home.Params.image and then updating my code to:

style="background-image: url('{{ .imageUrl }}')"
