Wowchemy-hugo-modules: Enable widgets to be used on other content pages (not only homepage)

[jvcasillas]

I am trying to create a second folder in content, call it home2 that has the same qualities as home, however, I am unable to use the widgets, such as project. My understanding is that there are archetypes and layouts that I need to copy over and change their names to home2 but I cannot get it to work. Can somebody guide me to the right files I need to copy and change?

I agree that it would be nice to have a the capability to create multiple content pages which utilize our widget system (like the home page).

For a proper solution to be formed, this is dependent on a Hugo bug being fixed: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3005 . Feel free to add your support to that Hugo issue.

Added this functionality by working around the bug in Hugo. Hopefully the Hugo bug (https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3005) will be fixed soon so that we can offer a cleaner solution.

Fantastic. Thank you for your great work.

By the way, @seisman spotted a mistake in the docs - _index.html should be _index.md. I'll correct the docs shortly.

Hello, I understand that this is an old issue, but I wasn't able to access the documentation link posted above by @gcushen. I was wondering how I could reuse a widget on a page that's not the home page. For instance, I'd like to use the skills and experience (and possibly the about me) widgets inside a dedicated CV or professional about-me page. Please advise on how I can go about implementing this! Thank you.

Refer to the Widget Page documentation. I believe it's under Managing Content.
