Events Hugo Module

(intro)

Requirements

Requirements:

• Go 1.14
• Hugo 0.61.0

Installation

If not already, init your project as Hugo Module:

$: hugo mod init {repo_url}

Configure your project's module to import this module:

# config.yaml
module:
  imports:
  - path: github.com/theNewDynamic/hugo-module-tnd-events

Usage

Date Handling

In order to not use default date parameter to assign start and end times for the events, we'll use time_start and time_end. For Hugo to pick time_start as the effective date of an event you need to add this to your project configuration:

frontmatter:
  date:
  - time_start
  - :default

Events

Events are content files of the type event. They need in their front matter

• title*: String
• date: A Datetime
• time_start A datetime. (if not set, will use date)
• time_end A datetime.

Venues

Venues are either content files or front matter maps entered for each events.

Venues can either be content files or Maps set to the events front matter. They should be structured this way:

• name:* String (if content file, .Title will be used)
• address: A string. Ex: 7301 S. Sante Fe Drive
• city: A string. Ex: Littleton
• state: A string. Ex: CO
• country: A string. Ex: USA
• zip: A string or int Ex:'80120'
• phone: A string Ex: +1 555 5555
• link: A string Ex: https://church-corner.org
• tickets_link: A string Ex: https://church-corner.org

Venues as content files.

If venues are used as content files, Events should refer to them with their path relative to the content directory of the project.

# content/event/church-concert.md
title: Church Concert
time_start: 2021-11-22T17:30:08-05:00
time_end: 2021-11-22T20:30:08-05:00
venue: venue/church-at-the-corner.md

Venues as maps.

Venues can also directly be entered as Front Matter maps

# content/event/church-concert.md
title: Church Concert
time_start: 2021-11-22T17:30:08-05:00
time_end: 2021-11-22T20:30:08-05:00
