Use custom page param inside .Paginator.Pages

Hi

I’m facing an issue on which I need help. My post markdown is as follows :

---
title: "Announcing a great conference"
eventdate: '2020-03-12'
date: '2020-02-21'
tags:
- conference
- culture
- society
---

Now, I can use .Params.eventdate in, say header.html, it works OK.

What does NOT work is in list.html :

        <div class="posts-list">
          {{ range .Paginator.Pages }}
            <article class="post-preview">
              <a href="{{ .Permalink }}">
                <h2 class="post-title">{{ .Title }}</h2>
    
                {{ if .Params.subtitle }}
                  <h3 class="post-subtitle">
                    {{ .Params.subtitle }}
                  </h3>
                {{ end }}
              </a>
              <p>
                {{ if .Params.eventdate }}
                  *** THIS PART SHOULD DISPLAY BUT DOES NOT ***
                {{ end }}
              </p>
              [...]
            </article>
          {{ end }}
        </div>

If I replace .Params.eventdate with .Params.subtitle, .Params.tags, .Params.title… all these work OK. So why doesn’t my eventdate work ? I think it’s related to being inside of the {{ range .Paginator.Pages }}, but I may be wrong.

Thanks for any help on getting this working !

I don’t know, I can’t see your code. Share it, for great support! :sunglasses:

There are examples in the docs on how to do this: https://gohugo.io/functions/isset/

Also for better assistance post a link to your repo next time, which is what @maiki is referring to :slightly_smiling_face:

  {{ if .Params.eventdate }}
                  *** THIS PART SHOULD DISPLAY BUT DOES NOT ***
    {{ end }}

The only reason I see that the above should not show is that the param eventdate isn’t set on that page.

A related tip would be to drop the quotes around the dates to get proper Go dates.

Thanks for your replies. My repository was private but after all I see no reason not to open it, after all it is a public website.

Here it is, on line 43 : https://gitlab.com/guillaume.deshors/magnyethique.org/-/blob/eventdate/themes/beautifulhugo/layouts/_default/list.html
If someone ever clones it be sure to checkout branch ‘eventdate’.

To reproduce, please go to http://localhost:1313/post/ and check that the words ‘NE MARCHE PAS’ aren’t displayed on the first post as I want them to be.

And to verify that eventdate really is set on that page, go to http://localhost:1313/post/2020-02-21-conference-gesticulee/ and check that the word ‘TEMPORAIRE’ appears in the title (as coded line 68 of this file)

No progress on my side…
