multunus / jekyll-author-plugin Goto Github PK

I currently have two author pages:

• http://martin-thoma.com/about-martin-thoma/
• http://martin-thoma.com/author/martin-thoma/

The first one is a simple post, the second one was automatically created.

The advantage of the first one is that it allows me to add some text / images that might make it more interesting to read the author page. Also, I can add meta information like a link to my Goolge+ profile / Twitter profile.

The advantage of the second one is that it shows other articles written by me. This might especially be interesting in blogs / sites with multiple authors.

So I would like to combine them. I think it could work like that:

• Create a folder author with content sluggified author name (e.g. in my case: martin-thoma.md)
• Metadata can be written in Yaml front matter
• Give an paginated "author pages" tag like authorpaginator.posts so that I can create templates like this:

<h2>Posts by {% author %}</h2>
{% for post in authorpaginator.posts %}
    <div class="post type-post hentry clearfix">
        <h2 class="title"><a href="{{ site.baseurl }}{{ post.url }}/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to '{{ post.title }}'">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
        <div class="postdate">
            <span>{{ post.date | date: '%B' }} {{ post.date | date: '%e' }}, {{ post.date | date: '%Y' }}</span> 
            <!--<span>No Comments / 1 comment / 2 comments</span>-->
        </div>

        {% include entry.html %}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

I started getting a warning on jekyll serve:

Deprecation: Collection#each should be called on the #docs array directly.
Called by /my-project/_plugins/author_generator.rb:76:in `write_author_indexes'.

I googled around a bit and found that it has something to do with posts being considered documents in Jekyll 3 (asciidoctor/jekyll-asciidoc#35)

I resolved the issue simply by changing line 76 on my local to say: self.posts.docs.each do |post| however there should be a conditional check for jekyll 3 to allow for backwards compatibility. While I'm slowly teaching myself ruby, I am by no means good at it, and have no idea how to do a conditional check.

Depending on how quickly this issue is tackled, I'll fork and attempt to tackle this myself!

There are some bugs in it using with Octopress. I Fork it and Fixed.
Please merge it as needed.

Hey there,

I followed the usage instructions, but get tis on build:

Liquid Exception: Included file '/Users/casey/Dropbox/-- Dear Cast and Crew/Website/2014 Redesign/dcac.github.io/_includes/archive_post.html' not found in authors/jared-young/index.html

I'm pretty new to Jekyll, and not sure what the correct fix would be - any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
