How to show list page from content to partials

support
1

I have a .baseof.html like this below

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  {{ partial "head.html" . }}
  <body>
    {{ partial "nav.html" . }}
    <div class="columns">
      <div class="column is-one-fifth">
        {{ partial "menu.html" . }}
      </div>
      <div class="column">
        <div class="content">
          {{ block "main" . }}{{ end }}
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

there will be 2 side, 1 side for menu which is a sidebar vertical menu and 1 for the content

my menu.html

<aside class="menu">
<p><a href="/projects" class="menu-label"> Projects </a></p>
    <ul class="menu-list">
      {{ with .Site.GetPage "projects" }}

          {{ range .Pages }}
            <li>{{ .Title }} </li>
          {{ end }}

      {{ end }}
</ul>
</aside>

what i want in menu is show category name from content folder and it’s contents. For example above i want to show that i have menu projects and i want to show articles i wrote from it but just title

and i manage to show it

this is my content dir look like

 |-archetypes
 | |-default.md
 |-content
 | |-writings
 | | |-index.html
 | | |-if-by-rudyard-kipling.md
 | | |-dick.md
 | | |-kilmer.md
 | |-projects
 | | |-if-by-rudyard-kipling.md
 | | |-_index.md

the _index.md have no content. but if i do not have it, it will not show the list in menu.html

but the problem is, when i click Project menu from sidebar, i lost my list in sidebar. the title if-by-rudyard-kipling not show

My questions are

  1. how do i keep the list show up even though i change the page? for example above when i in root page, the list showed up, but when click on project page, the list is gone
  2. how to show url of each page in menu? because it currently just title, and not clickable

kindly need your guys help, i am just new to use hugo. thanks

If you want it “clickable” place an anchor element inside of the list item…
