[genepan2]

Hi,

I would like to display additional data from the frontmatter section on
a) the single post view
b) the feed view (homepage)

The a) I successfuly accomplished. But I don't understand how to do b).

Can anyone help?

Hello,

Depending on the starter theme you're using, you can either edit the theme code directly in themes/THEME_NAME or rely on shadowing.

Your main files of interest are:

• https://github.com/Vagr9K/gatsby-advanced-starter/blob/master/themes/amaranth/src/gatsby-theme-advanced/templates/feed/index.tsx (for styling the Amaranth feed page)
• https://github.com/Vagr9K/gatsby-advanced-starter/blob/master/themes/advanced/src/templates/feed/index.tsx (for styling the base "Advanced" theme)
• https://github.com/Vagr9K/gatsby-advanced-starter/blob/master/themes/advanced/src/templates/feed/queries.ts (for querying extra data which is done at the level of the "Advanced" theme)

Also, take a look at Using Multiple Gatsby Themes to see how the themes are combined and used in the starter.

Thank you for the reply!

In fact I was shadowing and it is strange that the post query works and the listing query doesn't.

My solution for now is shadowing the post and modifying the files in themes/advancedsrc/src/templates/feed. It works, but this is not an elegant solution.

Could the problem andsolution lie in the themes/advanced/gatsby/utils/queries.ts?

Thanks again!

Is it possible that Gatsby is warning you about your queries not executing?

There was a similar case here: #127
