Question regarding parameter contentTypeName and multilingual settings

[amy20133511]

Hi!

Thank you for developing a clean and sleek theme like this! I'm very new to Hugo, and still trying to learn how to use it. I have two questions about the theme:

1. Is it possible to add more than one directory to the parameter "contentTypeName"? I am working on a website with distinct types of content, so I want to organize the markdown files in different sub-folders under the "content" directory, but also have pages of all different types appear on the main page. In other words, I want all pages to display on the main page chronologically regardless of which sub-folder they belong to under the "content" directory. Is this feasible?

2. Is there a more comprehensive guide to implementing a dual-language website? I have trouble finding documentation and do not know where to start.

Thank you so much for your help!

Regarding Question 1: if we can't do multiple directories for "contentTypeName", is it possible to have a static/fixed webpage just displaying some fixed content upon landing?

Hi, sorry for the continuous update, but I figured out how to add multilingual content to the site :) So Question 2 is resolved, and I only have Question #1, if we can add multiple directories to "contentTypeName".

I was also wondering if we could change the site's colors (e.g. the color of the category label on the card displays).

Thanks again!

Thanks for asking. For question 1, I use contentTypeName as parameter to filter the posts displayed in home page, the code is in file layouts/_default/list.html.

If you want to display all posts, you can make a copy of this file and put it in your site folder
layouts/_default/ (this will overwrite the default one from theme).

And remove these lines of code (this is where the filter takes effect)

  {{ if .IsHome }}
    {{ $PageContext = .Site }}
    {{ $pages = where $PageContext.RegularPages "Type" $contentTypeName }}
  {{ end }}

For the colors, I use tailwindcss class names directly. So for now it seems hard to change. I'll try to use tailwindcss custom theme feature and make some refactor of this hugo theme. I'll let you known when done.
