`current_article` nil during build about middleman-blog HOT 11 CLOSED

+1

from middleman-blog.

in other words: middleman-blog should use separate layouts for articles and blog ("index") itself

As a work–around we've found that you can wrap the whole nested layout in a conditional using if is_blog_article?.

I'll take a look at it tonight.

(this is particularly weird because I do this exact same thing on my own blog and it works fine)

Oh! I think I realize what you're doing wrong. Layouts other than the default go in source/layouts. Move your layout there and see if it works. Since you have the layout just hanging out in source, the builder is trying to actually build it as its own file.

Got it, thanks a lot!

I have exactly the same problem

When I try to build my Middleman project I get this error:

error  tmp/blogpost.html    
undefined method `title' for nil:NilClass

My repository is at: https://github.com/acandael/personal-site

any help is appreciated, thanks,

Hey @acandael, your problem is that you're keeping your layouts outside the layouts/ folder. Create the folder under source/ and move layout files into it. Layout files are the ones that have a single extension .erb (unlike page files which have a double extension .html.erb).

Middleman was treating your layouts as pages and was trying to build them, but they included references to variables unavailable due to the fact that layouts were treated as pages.

Also, consider naming your repository to acandael.github.io. Then you could use it to publish your website to http://acandael.github.io/ rather than http://acandael.github.io/personal-site/ . It would also save you some trouble with relative URLs.
