Range .Pages by type stopped working?

support
1

I’ve upgraded Hugo and suddenly some parts of the website stopped rendering.
Like this one:

	{{ $list := (where .Pages "Type" "td-feature-list") }}
	{{ $len := (len $list) }}
	{{ range $i, $p := $list }}

Content for these pages is structured as follows:

/content
 |-- container-page
     |-- td-feature
         |-- td-intro.de.md

with the frontmatter as follows:

---
title: "Titel"
date: 2017-11-24T14:23:52+01:00
draft: false
headless: true
weight: 1
type: td-feature-list
featured_image: "td-feature-main.png"
color: green
---

Wenn man alle....

It was rendering with 0.111.3 but now with 0.126.2 half of the contents of the website is missing.
Would greatly appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

What does this mean? Are the pages missing on the list page? Are the pages not rendered to disk? Both?

This would be easier to troubleshoot if you were to share your project.

Unfortunately there is no public repository I could share with you.
This is not even a page, which is not being rendered, but parts of the main pages. The code above is a partial which is being included in a single.html of a container page:

{{ define "navigation" }}
	{{ partial "navigation" . }}
{{ end }}

{{ define "main" }}

	{{ partial "manager-app/hero" . }}
	{{ partial "manager-app/intro" . }}
	{{ partial "manager-app/absences" . }}
	{{ partial "manager-app/tasks" . }} <-- this partial is the code above
	{{ partial "analytics/hero" . }}
	{{ partial "analytics/intro" . }}
	{{ partial "analytics/feature-list" . }}
	{{ partial "team-app/testimonials" . }}
	{{ partial "reviews" . }}
	{{ partial "home/specials" . }}

{{ end }}

I can give you more details, if you tell me where I have to look.

See Requesting Help.

If you can’t share your repository for whatever reason, consider creating a dummy repo that you can share, which reproduces the problem you’re experiencing.

Trying to re-create your setup with limited information is not terribly efficient.

Here is the repo you can look at
https://bitbucket.org/bureaug/hugo_test/src/master/

Specifically

themes/test-theme/layouts/partials/home/solution.html
themes/test-theme/layouts/partials/container/absences.html
themes/test-theme/layouts/partials/container/tasks.html
themes/test-theme/layouts/partials/container/feature-list.html

are not being rendered. I might have jumped couple of updates and am missing a breaking change, maybe? I really appreciate your time and effort. Thanks a lot in advance.

The behavior changed in v0.123.6.

The headless (boolean) setting in front matter has been functionally superseded by the build options.

Setting headless: true is equivalent to:

build:
  render: never
  list: never

But what you probably want, in this case, is:

build:
  render: never
  list: always

And since the default for build.list is always, you can do this:

build:
  render: never

See https://gohugo.io/content-management/build-options/.

The above will render the content you want on the home page, but if this were my site I would refactor the headless structure per this example:

https://gohugo.io/content-management/build-options/#example----headless-section

Then in templates such as “themes/test-theme/layouts/partials/home/solution.html” you can do:

{{ $list := (site.GetPage "/some/headless/section").Pages }}

The advantages of this approach:

  1. Improved organization

  2. No need to set “type” in front matter

  3. You can cascade the build options down from the section page (_index.md) instead of setting them on every page

  4. You can change the build options to…

    build:
  render: never
  list: local

    …which prevents them leaking into page collections such as site.RegularPages.

Joe, thank you for your time. I’ve pushed to the repo with some changes

  • build options, i.e. content/container/abs-feature/abs-intro.de.md
  • removed headless from frontmatter
  • added feature with tags, content/features/_feature1.de.md

Alas, it didn’t work as expected. Am I messing it up somewhere else?
Go 1.22.3
Hugo 0.126.1
macOS Monterey 12.7.2

Try this:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jmooring/hugo_test
cd hugo_test
hugo server

This is the example you should use:
https://gohugo.io/content-management/build-options/#example----headless-section

We make the entire “home” section headless. Do not include “build” or “headless” settings in front matter.

So do I understand this correctly:

  • I have to include _index.lang.md to be able to call (.Site.GetPage(path/to/folder)).Pages
  • I have to remove headless from front matter

?

Also, the question with taxonomies is still unclear. Tags are set in front matter, but the range .Site.Taxonomies.tags.some_tag is empty.

11

Yes. Otherwise there’s not a page to get.

Yes. See example site.

I’ll have a look at that.

There were still three pages with headless: true in front matter.

You’re welcome.

Let me know when I can remove the test repo (https://github.com/jmooring/hugo_test).

Removed.
