Paginate Sections?

support
1

I have a section of my site with subsections. Each subsection has a content inside:

content/
├── teaching/
│   ├── _index.md
│   ├── lessonOne/
│   │   ├── _index.md
│   │   ├── notes.md
│   │   ├── slides.html
│   ├── lessonTwo/
│   │   ├── _index.md
│   │   ├── slides.html

I want to create a template for /teaching/_index.md that paginates over each section, allowing me to render a paginated list of the sections and their subsections. How do I range over the sections? My first thought is something like:

{{ if .Sections }}
{{ range (.Paginator 3) .Sections }}
 <!-- Content for section listing -->
{{ end }}
{{ end }}

But that’s giving me an error: range can't iterate over Pager

Hi,

If I understand correctly what you are trying to do, you want to render multiple paginators on the same page? I’m not sure you can do that.

From Pagination | Hugo :

The .Paginator is static and cannot change once created.

No, I’d like one paginator that is iterating over the sections. The code above works when I try to iterate over pages, but not sections.

Ok, thanks for explaining.

{{ $ps := .Paginate .Sections }}
{{ range $ps.Pages }}
    {{ .Title }}
{{ end }}

You could try the above inside your if .Sections block.

Note: You may need to test with {{ $ps := .Paginate .Sections 2 }} to force it to paginate since you only have 3 Sections. Or add more sections.
