Create a page for a specific category which mimic the Archives display

[pled]

Hi,
I am new to Hugo and Stack theme, and still discovering, and trying to adapt theme to my needs (wants to migrate from WP).

I would like to create a custom menu on the left side which will list a specific category I want to advertise. I have seen the "Category" filter on the right menu which allow me to filter on a given category, but I would like another display, to mimic the archives page.

What I have done so far :
I have read best method for a new menu item is to create a page and add menu field to its Front Matter. So I did in content/page/voyage :

---
title: "Voyage"
date: 2026-05-15
layout: "voyages"
slug: "voyage"
menu:
    main:
        weight: -70
        params: 
            icon: world
---

I created icon world.svg from https://tablericons.com/, and copy it in assets/icons. Easy.
Now, I have to define the "layout", so I just copy layouts/archive.html to layouts/voyages.html. And this where I am stuck. I would like to :

• To display only the tile from "voyage" category (div class="article-list--tile")
• Then list all posts from voyage category (div article-list--compact), grouped by year like archives page does

Is it something easily feasible modifying voyages.html (I have no dev skills, but I can edit html), or am I on a wrong way ?
Thank you for your help.

I think you are going in the right direction.

hugo-theme-stack/layouts/archives.html

Lines 18 to 19 in 03bf8b0

	{{ $pages := partial "helper/pages.html" .Site.Home }}

You should filter $pages based on the category to match your need, and that should do the trick.

Thank you for your answer. I had to ask some help to Mistral AI, because this is a bit above my knowledge, but result is quite good for now.
It works with the following filter in place of the default $pages expression :
{{ $pages := where .Site.Pages "Params.categories" "intersect" (slice "Voyage") }}

I also change the header section of the voyages.html file to display only the corresponding tile for that category. It also displays the image defined in the category front matter and not the one from the first post from that category.

<header>
    {{ $voyage := site.GetPage "/categories/voyage" }}
    {{ with $voyage }}
        <div class="subsection-list">
            <div class="article-list--tile">
                {{ partial "article-list/tile" $voyage }}
            </div>
        </div>
    {{ end }}
</header>

Thank you again ! 👍
