Last week I created a page on this site that holds all the talks I have prepared for meetups and conferences. As this site is powered by Hugo, the process wasn’t that straightforward. I want to write down the steps I did to make it easier in the future.
Oh, and when I say “static” in the title of this post, I mean pages whose content is not completely powered by a markdown content file.
I have tried different approaches, but what ended up working is the following.
In the configuration file, I added a new type of permalink:
[permalinks]
talks = "/talks/"
I created a new type of an archetype under the archetypes
directory of my theme:
+++
draft = false
date = {{ .Date }}
title = "{{ replace .TranslationBaseName "-" " " | title }}"
+++
I have also created a new template file for that talks
type, which actually has all the content I want to display, but is also capable of using the partials I have created before:
{{ partial "header.html" . }}
...
<div class="post">
<h1>
Talks
</h1>
...
</div>
<div class="column">
{{ partial "sidebar.html" . }}
</div>
...
{{ partial "footer.html" . }}
And finally create a markdown file for it with hugo new talks/page.md
, leaving it as is.
Happy hackin’!
