Listing pages in a section, or: in all subdirectories of a directory

support

repo: https://github.com/mistermantas/edu.mnts.lt

here’s my question: what hecking template do I need to use to show all the pages under these directories:

  • edu.mnts.lt/docs/geografija/
  • edu.mnts.lt/docs/literatura/
  • edu.mnts.lt/docs/english/

I can’t figure it out: any template I try, I see a blank page on localhost. It’s INFURIATING

like, edu.mnts.lt/docs lists all the pages in the directory (which is what I want for ALL the subdirectories under docs) because of the layouts/docs/list.html file

but i want to keep the categorization via folders here (they’re by subject) and also add tags (like for classes, A level, 11th grade, etc) but that’s slightly off topic

I’m not quite sure I understand what output you want where.

Do you want pages under those directories printed out when you load /docs/? Do you want only pages from those subdirectories? I see you have three other directories under content/docs/, Do you also want those printed out? Or just these three?

Or do you want for example docs/english/ to list the pages under it?

What have you actually tried? As in, what lines of code did you put in which template, and what did that do?

Yes, I want automatically for all the subdirectories under docs to list their pages. But I don’t know what template I need.

I don’t know WHAT TEMPLATE I need, that’s my problem

_default/baseof.html ain’t working
_default/list.html ain’t working
_default/single.html (I think) doesn’t work either

You need to read the docs on this page: https://gohugo.io/templates/lookup-order/ especially the section on Layout Lookup for Section Pages.

The reason layouts/_default/list.html is not working is because you have layouts/docs/list.html, which is the more specific layout.

No, I know about that, but how do I specify it for subdirectories? Is that even possible?

Also just to be clear: removing docs/list.html doesn’t help. Still a blank page…

Add _index.md to your sub-sections.

I want to list the pages in the subsections, an index file isn’t going to help me if I can’t even use {{ }} tags there

Well, if you are not trying my suggestions, then maybe someone else can chime in here to help you. Good luck.

I have requirements for this thing (this thing being: listing pages in a subdirectory) that I want to do. If your solution doesn’t fit my requirements, it’s not a solution?
