Paginator issue in custom layouts

[weearc]

Hi, I’m quite new to hugo. When creating a new layout archives for it, I’d like to create a paginator for this page.

By using:

{{ $pages:= where site.RegularPages "Type" "in" site.Params.mainSections }}

It will get myself a page.Pages variable.

But using:

{{ $paginator := .Paginate ($pages) 10 }}

It will get a $paginator with value nil. How can I build this paginator and can use {{ range }} to go through it?

You are trying to paginate a page collection from a single page template.

https://gohugo.io/templates/pagination/#list-paginator-pages

Build a section stub, then target a list template.

In the next release, trying to paginate from an unsupported page kind will generate an error message:

error calling Paginate: pagination not supported for this page: kind: “page”, path: “/posts/post-11”, file: “/home/user/project/content/posts/post-11.md”

Sorry for late reply. Currently I’ve got the directory structure like this:

~/hugo-blog/content                                                                                                          
❯ tree .
.
├── about.md
├── frlink.md
├── posts
│   ├── 2018-06-09.md
│   └── why-I-keep-out-zhihu.md
└── search.md

Does that mean I need to create _index.md under /content/posts/ with the following frontmatter ?

title: Archive
url: 'archives/'

Oh it seems working as expected. Thank you a lot.
