Docs problem on Setting up blog in an existing project #349

Open adamdill opened 7 years ago

adamdill commented 7 years ago

This isn't a code problem, but a tiny docs issue.

on https://middlemanapp.com/basics/blogging/ the instructions for activating the extension in an existing project are:

activate :blog do |blog|
  # set options on blog
end

Unfortunately, this doesn't work out of the box. This error is thrown:

NoMethodError at /blog/2012/01/01/example-article
undefined method `link' for nil:NilClass
[snip]/gems/middleman-blog-4.0.2/lib/middleman-blog/helpers.rb: in tag_path, line 86

Maybe the docs could be updated to include these two template options, so that the example works as specified?

activate :blog do |blog|
  # set options on blog
  blog.tag_template = "tag.html"
  blog.calendar_template = "calendar.html"
end

PS: love the project, thank you!
