Mulitple Blogs - specify the blog name (blog_name) in frontmatter - how?

Dale · January 7, 2015, 1:54am

I am trying to get multiple blogs setup on the same site. I have read the multi blog instructions. The server runs but gives an error when I visit the root of each blog. I get this error on multiple files when I build --verbose:

You must either specify the blog name in calling this method or in your page frontmatter (using the ‘blog’ blog_name)

Please show me the syntax required to add the name of the blog to the frontmatter.
Thank you in advance!

I’m pretty sure you use blog.

github.com

epochwolf/epochwolf.com/blob/master/source/blog/index.html.haml#L3


---
title: Blog
blog: blog
pageable: true
per_page: 10
layout: layout
---

%section.blog.row
  .columns.large-9
    -page_articles.each_with_index do |article, i|
      -unless 0 == i
        %div.dot="&loz;"

Edit: Yup, it’s still blog.

github.com

middleman/middleman-blog/blob/master/lib/middleman-blog/paginator.rb#L76



  resources + new_resources
end

private

# Does this resource match the blog controller for this paginator?
# @return [Boolean]
def match_blog(res, md)
  res_controller = md[:locals]['blog_controller'] || (res.respond_to?(:blog_controller) && res.blog_controller)
  return false if res_controller && res_controller != @blog_controller

  override_controller = md[:page][:blog]
  return false if override_controller && override_controller.to_s != @blog_controller.name.to_s

  true
end

# Generate a resource for a particular page
# @param [Sitemap::Resource] res the original resource
# @param [Integer] page_num the page number to generate a resource for

You are correct. IT WORKS!
Wow, thank you very much!

The error text should just say that… or at least the instructions of the website.
