I have the following section structure
section-one
|__ _index.md
|__ subsection-a
|__ _index.md
|__ subsection-b
|__ _index.md
|__ subsection-c
|__ _index.md
In _index.md
of section-one, I tried using .Paginate, and it works
{{with $paginator := .Paginate .Sections }}
<nav>
{{ range $paginator.Pages }}
<ul>
<li><a href={{ .RelPermalink | relLangURL }}>{{ .Title }}</a></li>
</ul>
{{ end }}
Pages: {{ $paginator.PageNumber }} / {{ $paginator.TotalPages }}
</nav>
{{end}}
then I tried moving the snippet to a partial, and changed the first line to
{{with $paginator := .Paginate . }}
so I can pass in .Sections
like this {{ partial "paginate.html" .Sections }}
in my section template.
But then I get this error:
can’t evaluate field Paginate in type page.Pages
I have no prior experience with Go and Go Template before I found Hugo, so I’m pretty new to all of this.
In my mind, I’m passing .Sections to .Paginate function in both cases, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Can anyone enlighten me on what’s going on under the hood?
