Two views/pages for the same content type

support
#1

I can’t figure out how to use two views for the same content type.
I have this view which works fine. It shows the upcoming events and it’s located in themes/MYTHEME/layouts/section/concerts.html:

{{ range where .Data.Pages.ByDate "Type" "concerts" }}
  {{ if ge .Date.Unix .Now.Unix }}
    {{ .Render "summary" }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

Now I want to create another view/page to list the past concerts. I just need to change if ge to if lt:

{{ range where .Data.Pages.ByDate "Type" "concerts" }}
  {{ if lt .Date.Unix .Now.Unix }}
    {{ .Render "summary" }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

But I’m not sure where should I place this view. I tried themes/MYTHEME/layouts/section/archive.html but it doesn’t work. I see that I’m confused about this but I have no other ideas.

I think you would have to create two single pages, and just not use the content.

#3

I don’t understand, can you please elaborate?

Create single pages means using hugo new to create a .md file under content/?
What I definitely don’t want is using single pages. I need to generate the list programatically. I don’t think I can use templates in markdown content files…

Using a new content type makes no sense, since the archive of past concerts refer to the same content type. It’s just a different view.

You cannot use templates in content files, but content files have template files. And those template files have access to all the pages on the site:

{{ range where $.Site.Pages.ByDate "Type" "concerts" }}
  {{ if ge .Date.Unix .Now.Unix }}
    {{ .Render "summary" }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

I’m afraid that we speak two different languages and of course it’s my fault because I don’t know Hugo yet.

I understand that you suggest creating the directory content/archive/ and put some dummy content there just to have access to a new view. With view I mean the second block I posted in my first post.

I think I need to have a look to some hugo sites source code.

I think that my problem is the same described in issue 148
