Nested indexes with index templates

[Clark Bynum]

Hello all, I am trying to create a website using Hugo that has a collapsible navigation bar that mimics a structure similar to this:

• Getting Started
• Features
• Console
• Systems
• Data
• Data1
• Data2
• Building an App
• iOS
• Tutorials
• Samples
• Android
• Tutorials
• Samples

Is it possible to dynamically generate the sub-directories? Or do I have to hard code for each group? 

I am following this example to render my indexes:

<ul>

    {{ range $indexname, $index := .Site.Indexes }}

      <li><a href="/{{ $indexname | urlize }}">{{ $indexname }}</a> 

        <ul> 

          {{ range $key, $value := $index }}

          <li> {{ $key }} </li>

                <ul>

                {{ range $value.Pages }}

                    <li hugo-nav="{{ .RelPermalink}}"><a href="{{ .Permalink}}"> {{ .LinkTitle }} </a> </li>

                {{ end }}

                </ul>

          {{ end }}

        </ul>

      </li> 

    {{ end }}

  </ul>

I've been trying to figure this out too.  Have you had any success?

The Menus feature of Hugo does this easily.

The documentation for it is at http://hugo.spf13.com/extras/menus . 

The docs site uses it in a similar way as you describe. Check the source there for more information.

Best,

Steve

I may have misread the original question.

My problem is that I want an index.html file for nested groups of content. My /content folder looks like this:

/content
/courses
/spring2014
/people
/faculty
/staff

Hugo generates /courses/index.html and /people/index.html when I add courses.html and people.html to /layouts/indexes, but I can’t get /courses/spring2014/index.html by doing that. (I tried /layouts/indexes/spring2014.html and /layouts/indexes/courses/spring2014.html, of course, but neither worked.)

If I understand correctly Hugo already does this. 

On my blog I have 3 directories inside content, post, presentation & project. Hugo automatically creates an index.html file for each of those directories.

http://spf13.com/post/index.html

http://spf13.com/project/index.html

http://spf13.com/presentation/index.html

Is that what you mean?

[Alex Dunn]

My situation is like if you had directories inside ‘presentation’, like ‘Q1’, ‘Q2’, ‘Q3’, ‘Q4’. I’m trying to generate /presentation/Q1/index.html, /presentation/Q2/index.html, etc., in addition to /presentation/index.html

Ahh. Makes sense. Hugo doesn't do this today, but it probably should.

I am also looking for a solution/workaround for this.
