Unable to apply custom "Type"

[ArcherN9]

Description

Hi! I'm new to static website generation in general and I've been trying to learn Go. I thought verless would be a great starting point since I generally learn by going through existing code bases. My configurations may be incorrect, but I'd appreciate any help.

• I created a new Type titled "topbar" and placed a topbar.html file under themes/<<mytheme>>/templates/topbar.html.
• Declared custom page types under verless.yml.

types:
    topbar:
        template: topbar.html

• Added a Type tag on my markdown:

---
Type: topbar
Img: /img/logo1.png
---
This is a sample

• however, whenever I build and run my website, the layout always defaults to the content in list-page.html

More information:

• I've added the following section in my topbar.html file.

{{if .Page.Img}}
<div id="logo">
    <img class="logo-1" src="{{ .Page.Img }}" alt="" title="">
</div>
{{end }}

• If I keep the above configuration as is and run build and serve, the content from list-pge.html is served.
• But If I modify the above section to:

{{if .Page.TestTag}}
<div id="logo">
    <img class="logo-1" src="{{ .Page.TestTag }}" alt="" title="">
</div>
{{end }}

I receive the following error on executing serve: Error: template: topbar.html:160:30: executing "topbar.html" at <.Page.TestTag>: can't evaluate field TestTag in type *model.Page. Does this indicate the yml configuration may be correct but something else is going wrong?

verless version

verless version v0.4.3

Thanks for your bug report. I've also noticed this one today, and I'm pretty sure that this bug is caused by #181. Do you have the tags plugin enabled? If so, you can temporarily disable the plugin, continue development and activate it again once this bug is fixed.

@hmble or @ArcherN9 You both may fix that issue by resolving #181. First come first serve, because this thing is really annoying.

I don't have tag enabled. My verless.yml. Ignore the weird formatting - that's because of Vim. Too lazy to format it just for this.

May I ask how your content structure roughly looks like and which particular file (location in content and filename) is affected?

[Dominik Braun]

+  types:
+    ¦topbar:
+    ¦ ¦ template: topbar.html

Are you sure those indentions are correct? The other ones look a bit different (and arguably "more correct"):

Hey @ArcherN9, did my my comment fix this for you? :-)
