I have a taxonomy called “collections”
My taxonomy list pages are taking layouts/_defaul/list.html instead of layouts/_default/collection.html. This shouldn’t be the case looking at the Layout Lookup for Taxonomy List Pages
If we go to https://pawsys.github.io/collections/ it displays the list page.
Here is my hugo repo. Here is my Github Pages repo. Any help will be much appreciated!
Hi Paweł!
You can move and rename
/layouts/_default/collection.html
to
/layouts/taxonomy/list.html
or—more specific—
/layouts/collections/list.html.
But there are several options. Have a look at the lookup order.
Thanks this works. However, my solution also worked. I didn’t realized because I was confused with the naming and I am still confused…
The taxonomy docs establish naming this way:
Actors (taxonomy): Bruce Willis (term)
However, the lookup order works another way:
foo.com/actors (is a terms page)
foo.com/actors/bruce-willis (is a taxonomy list page)
Is this a naming inconsistency in the taxonomy docs?
It’s possible something is off, the naming of taxonomy and terms is a historical quirk of the Hugo project. Walk me through what seems off to you, though; I get these easily confused.
So, on your site, collections is the taxonomy, whereas idea is a taxonomy term.
https://pawsys.github.io/collections/ - taxonomy - layouts/_default/taxonomy.html layouts/_default/list.html
https://pawsys.github.io/collections/idea/ - term - layouts/_default/terms.html layouts/_default/list.html
The above is expected behavior. @pawsys are you saying the templates are being picked up in a different order?
Yes, exactly!
if I define layout/_default/taxonomy.html
the page that changes is https://pawsys.github.io/collections/idea/.
and if I define layout/_default/terms.html
the page that changes is https://pawsys.github.io/collections/
it works as if this is the syntax:
Actors (term): Bruce Willis (taxonomy)
but the syntax in hugo docs is:
Actors (taxonomy): Bruce Willis (term)
A post was split to a new topic: Taxonomy.html and terms.html reversed
