Hi All! My first question in the forum. I’m not an advanced programmer developer so be gentle. I hope this isn’t answered somewhere else.
I have this shortcode:
{{< quote >}}
The testimonial file sits in the data folder and has this data structure.
first_last:
name: First Last
text: Quote
type: Event
cite: Reference to quote
This is an example of just accessing data in my shortcode. But I don’t know how to pass the data through the shortcode.
{{ with .Site.Data.testimonial.first_last }}
{{ .text }}
{{ .name }}
{{ end }}
I think the shortcode should look like this:
{{< quote file="testimonial" name="first_last" >}}
I’ve discovered I can do this thanks to @frjo
{{ $file := .Get "file" }}
{{ $name := .Get "name" }}
{{ $data := index .Site.Data $file }}
{{ with index $data $name }}
<blockquote {{ with .cite }}cite="{{ . }}"{{ end }}>
<p>{{ .text }}</p>
<p>{{ .name }}</p>
</blockquote>
{{ end }}
Any help appreciated! I’m getting there I’ve built my own theme from scratch so far but this is stumping me.
