## What am I Doing?
|
||
|
|
As part of my effort to beautify my [series](/notes/series-and-navigation/) features, I'm trying to set up a landing page where I can add arbitrary markdown content. You can see an example of one of these pages [here](/series/blogging-with-quartz).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Being able to embed some graphics and write short summaries of each series would be nice, so I've been experimenting with adding `_index.md` and `index.md` files at various places.
|
||
|
|
## Why doesn't it work?
|
||
|
|
The problem here is that the query in my `recent.html` partial was fetching pages were a little too vague and caught these
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``` {title="recent.html"}
|
||
|
|
{{$notes := .Site.RegularPages.ByLastmod.Reverse}}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
## What are the options?
|
||
|
|
Hugo has a bunch of different ways of grabbing groups of Pages. There's page bundles, taxonomies, and more.
|
||
|
|
## I picked X
|
||
|
|
Each page has a [Content Type](https://gohugo.io/content-management/types/) assigned to it. This ends up being the simplest option for filtering for now.
|
||
|
|
``` {title="recentNotes.html"}
|
||
|
|
{{$notes := where site.RegularPages "Type" "notes"}}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
I think the actual smart thing I did was factor the "notes" query into a dedicated partial: `recentNotes.html`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a perfect world I'd parameterize this partial, but I'm not really sure that's even possible in Hugo. Partials explicitly accept up to one argument, no more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe this is what shortcodes are for.
