_index.md creation - file empty

[pokemonbattledroid]

Hi, Clearly doing something wrong, but I've made an 'assets' folder with folders inside it with jpgs.

So my project folder is travel travel/location/.jpgs travel/location2/.jpgs ...

From terminal I run hugo new location/_index.md, I get a new _index.md file in travel/content/location, but it's just the top bits and no content, depsite the assets folder having images.

Any help is appreciated, this looks like an amazing platform to do what I'm hoping to do.

Thank you so much!!

Hrm... I'm not 100% clear on what your directory structure looks like - but if you look at the exampleSite directory you'll see how it needs to look. Walking through a new hugo site, you'd run:

hugo new site travel

Then you'd have a new directory called travel, with the following contents:

archetypes config.tml content data layouts static themes

You need to create an assets directory in there too. Then you'd create subdirectories of that, location and location2. It'll look like:

archetypes assets assets/location assets/location2 config.tml content data layouts static themes

Then put your photos in those assets/location and assets/location2 directories.

Then, from within the base travel directory, running hugo new location/_index.md and hugo new location2/_index.md and hugo new _index.md will give you the following:

archetypes assets assets/location/image.jpg assets/location2/image2.jpg config.tml content content/_index.md content/location/_index.md content/location2/_index.md data layouts static themes

And of course you need to have the theme in themes... But that should be the directory structure you need to get this to work. It's the same as in the exampleSite.
