This can look up a single [Record :ref](../../record/) and return it. In templates this method
|
|
is particularly useful when having to work with other pages that are well
|
|
known to the system but some information should be pulled from. Note that
|
|
this loads by default the "primary" [Alternative :ref](../../../../content/alts/).
|
|
|
|
The path needs to be absolute with folder separated by slashes.
|
|
|
|
The default behavior is to load the unpaginated version of a record. If you
|
|
want to select a specific page for pagination, then you need to pass
|
|
`page_num` with a valid page number.

## Examples
|
|
|
|
This is a simple example that shows how to use the method in a template:
|
|
|
|
```html+jinja
|
|
{% set root = site.get('/') %}
|
|
<title>{{ this.title }} | {{ root.title }}</title>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here another example that loads the current page but in another language:
|
|
|
|
```html+jinja
|
|
{% set other_lang = site.get(this._path, alt='ru') %}
|
|
<p>This page in Russian: {{ other_lang.title }}
|
|
```
