Unable to add extra page in section

support
1

I have a working Hugo blog and I want to add an extra page below Books - Wim Deblauwe For example …/books/taming-thymeleaf

The source of my blog is at wimdeblauwe.com/content/books at master · wimdeblauwe/wimdeblauwe.com · GitHub

I have an index.html page there that gets rendered. I tried now to add a taming-thymeleaf.html page there, but it does not get rendered.

I also tried renaming index.html to _index.html. This makes the taming-thymeleaf.html render, but my /books URL no longer shows the content that I had before.

What am I doing wrong?

Your content structure should look like this as you add more books:

content/books/
├── _index.html
├── practical-guide-to-building-an-api-back-end-with-spring-boot.md
└── taming-thymeleaf.md

The content of _index.html is not displayed when you visit http://localhost:1313/books because the template responsible for displaying list pages (i.e., _index.md) does not include the {{ .Content }} field.

To modify the template:

cp themes/ezhil/layouts/_default/list.html layouts/_default/

Now edit layouts/_default/list.html, placing {{ .Content }} before it starts ranging through the pages.

You can of course create a layout that does display {{ .Content }} on a list page, or more specifically the books list page (:exclamation:), but I’m not sure how much you want to get into customizing the theme you are using, and how much you want to delve into the mysteries of
