Hi There,
I have a nested location-based structure like this:
state -> city -> service
See mockup here: http://regionalinfo.org/
Within each directory I have _index.md that has meta data such as state name OR city wikipedia page, etc.
To get my mockup working I had to implement two markdown files for each directory though, one is the _index.md within each directory and the other is within the parent directory.
For example:
├── california/
│ └── los-angeles/
│ └── _index.md
│ └── police.md
│ └── fire.md
│ └── los-angeles.md <--- DUPLICATE OF /los-angeles/_index.md
│ └── san-francisco/
│ └── san-francisco.md <--- DUPLICATE OF /san-francisco/_index.md
Within my .md files I have a param called ‘level’ which is set to “state”, “city” or “service”
Then within my list.html template I have conditional statements for the types of views:
- IF home page level THEN print states below
- IF state level THEN print cities below
- IF city level THEN print services below.
For Example:
{{if eq .Params.level "state"}}
{{- range (where .Data.Pages "Params.level" "city")}}
{{ .Render "li-state" }}
{{- end }}
{{ end}}
Is there a more efficient way to do this AND eliminate the need for the duplicate markdown file so my range/where statements can reference _index.md files in subdirectories below?
Thanks for your help!
