Link to taxonomy lists fails with custom permalinks

[madeso]

The links in the samples expects the taxonomy list to be at the default location:
https://gohugo.io/templates/taxonomy-templates/#order-taxonomies
but that will fail with a custom permalink introduced in v0.31 since the page is probably not rendered at /PLURAL/TERM/.

The only workaround I've found is to create a per-term page for the custom link instead of the general _default/terms.html template.

I think this is a documentation issue. It should be possible to do this without "manual URL construction".

@rdwatters are those your examples?

I'll keep this open for now -- in case this isn't currently possible, we should make it.

I am interested in knowing how to support custom permalinks of taxonomy in templates as well. Is it possible to do this now? How?

If PR #4796 is merged, then you won't need to hardcode anymore. You could use

{{% relref "tags" %}}

which would be resolved to whatever url tags is published to. Likewise a call to .GetPage "tags" would return you the page object, from which you could query its actual URL, title or whatever.

I already take advantage of this in my fork of Hugo.

@bep I think this issue should be re-opened.

It looks like we could use:

{{ with $.Site.GetPage "taxonomy" $type $termName }}

Perhaps I should submit a PR to modify the document? Currently it says:

 <li><a href="{{ $.Site.LanguagePrefix }}/{{ $data.Plural }}/{{ $value.Name | urlize }}"> {{ $value.Name }} </a> {{ $value.Count }} </li>

, which certainly still fails with custom permalinks.
