First, thank you the author of Zola who creates a so great software. I’m new to this and still learning. When creating a homepage, is there a way to pull the title, & partial content of certain post (based on date, or name…) \content |-\>\post |-\>\post\post1.md |-\>\post\post2.md is there a way to put the title & and partial content of post1.md or post2.md to the siteroot\index.html? I know I can render the content if I have it in the \_index.md. but if it can pull directly from the post, that’ll be great. Something like “last news” or “feature story”… Thank you again for any help. ---

Hi @Ky2X1j8Tkrh, if you keep all your posts in the post folder, there’s an easy solution. ``` {% set post_section = get_section(path="post/_index.md") %} {% for post in post_section.pages %}
{{post.title}}
{% endfor %} ``` the `get_section` function gets a section object. You can use that to retrieve all pages direct in the post folder. This example just generates a list of of links to the posts, but you have access to [all variables of a page object](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/templates/pages-sections/#page-variables). Also have a look at the functions available in [tera](https://tera.netlify.app/docs/#built-ins), that’s the template engine used by zola, You can use these to apply filter to the section.pages list and only print those that you want on your homepage. I hope this helps you get started. ---

Thank you @Marco, I’ll try that. ---

in the > [@Marco](#): > > `{% set post_section = get_section(path="post/_index.md") %}` the section “post” was hard coded in. If I want to set it in the config file like [extra] featureSection = “post” then use it like {% set post\_section = get\_section(path=“{{config.extra.featureSection}}/\_index.md”) %} it’ll error. is there a proper way to do this? Sorry can not find the get\_section doc online. Thank you. ---

Hi @Ky2X1j8Tkrh, Yes there is a way to do this without hardcoding the section. You were almost at the right solution. When you look at the code here: ``` {% set post_section = get_section(path=config.extra.featureSection ~ "/_index.md") %} {% for post in post_section.pages %}
{{post.title}}
{% endfor %} ``` You don’t need the braces {{config.extra.featureSection}}, because you are already inside a block using {% %} style braces. The second change is that you need to concatenate the string value using the ~ operator. That’s the way strings are concatenated in the tera template engine. Does this anwser your question? Marco ---

hello @Marco ! Thanks a lot for your solution which answered to half of my problem Since i’m a total noob to Zola and i can’t seem to find a way to solve the other hald and show **X posts only** i tried `{% for post in post_section.pages limit:3 %}` (i figured since [it works on Jekyll](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17890493/how-can-i-show-just-the-most-recent-post-on-my-home-page-with-jekyll#17892476) it was worth a try^^) but that was a fail ☹ i can’t find the solution in the doc, i’m not even sure how to look for it but i sure did… thanks a lot if you can help me \o/ ---

Well i guess the law of “ask the question and then the second after you find the answer” striked again : for those interested i used the [solution proposed as a workaround on github](https://github.com/getzola/zola/issues/147) ```auto {% set limit = 3 %} {% for page in subsection.pages %} {% if loop.index <= limit %} {{ page.title }} {% if not loop.index == limit %},{% endif %} {% endif %} {% endfor %} ```
