Hey folks, I’ve been having a hard time using the current_article helper in a layout file. Code in question is https://github.com/fayimora/website/blob/master/source/blog/article.erb
I inspected the hash and as you can see from the block below, it contains everything you’d expect.
<Middleman::Blog::BlogArticle: {"title"=>"Hello World, Welcome To My Blog!!!", "date"=>"18-01-2014 00:30 UTC", "author"=>"Fa
yimora Femi-Balogun", "tags"=>"welcome, introduction, hello world"}>
Screenshot can be found here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15079640/misc/Screenshot%202014-01-18%2020.20.42.png
However, there are two problems.
-
After building the site, I get an error saying “undefined method date for nil:NilClass”. The weird thing is it still works anyways. So if
current_articleis nil, how can I still access the date? The line in question is this and here is a screenshot of the error.

To access the article’s author, I have to use
current_article.data.author. I triedcurrent_article.authorbut got an error sayingauthoris an undefined method.
I’d really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Cheers
