I have a Jekyll blog and it is hosted in GitHub Pages, but because GitHub Pages doesn't allow plugins, I need to create the static page where I will use your plugin and then push it into the GitHub.

I already installed the ImageMagick and RMagick, and because I didn't have _plugins folder in my Jekyll I created it, and put your galleries.rb file there. Then, in the Gemfile, I included the following line gem 'rmagick'

Afterwards, in the _config.yml file, I included these lines:

gallerytag: dir: images/galleries url: /images/galleries thumb_width: 150 thumb_height: 150 columns: 4

gems: [galleries]

Finally, I made a post which uses your plugin, and when I tried to run bundle exec jekyll build, in order to build everything, I got an error message saying:

require cannot load such file -- galleries (LoadError)

If I remove the above gems: [galleries] line, and try to do the build, then I get the error message saying that the IMG_1424-thumb.JPG doesn't exist. And it doesn't exist. Simply, the plugin is not creating thumbnails when I do the build.

Any idea what the problem might be, and how to solve it?

I would actually suggest this plugin. That is what I actually based my code off of. I had forgotten since some time has passed and it has been a hectic semester.

But that one doesn't seem to allow a lot of customizations, for example, I don't see there the option to enlarge the image when clicked, or the option to add caption.
