The page cannot fetch images from assets/images

[Donghai-Gong]

Issue description

I added a blogroll page to my site today, but when referencing images from assets/images, only the first image loads. The other images fail to load even though the image files actually exist and the paths appear to be correct. I’m not sure how to fix this and would appreciate any help. Thank you very much!

Here are the steps I took to add the blogroll page:

1. Added the file layouts\_default\friend-link.html
2. Added the CSS file assets\css\extended\road-sign.css
3. Added image resources under the path assets\images: flink-sample1.webp, flink-sample2.webp, …
4. Added the file content\friend-link.md

content\friend-link.md

Hugo only publishes assets if you call .RelPermalink (or some friends - see Hugo Pipes ) - which you don’t. Try moving the images to /static/images instead and leave the rest unchanged.

Solution (1)
Move the images from assets/images/ to static/images/.

Solution (2)
I must use assets/, so I can only change how the HTML fetches the images.

In the friend-link.html file, change:

<img src="{{ .avatar }}" class="friend-avatar" loading="lazy" alt="Avatar">

to:

{{ $path := replace .avatar "/images/" "" }}
{{ $img := resources.Get (printf "images/%s" $path) }}
<img src="{{ $img.Permalink }}" class="friend-avatar" loading="lazy" alt="{{ .name }}">
