Please help - I don't know how to add blog navigation links like this : < previous_article_title / next_article_title >

#1

This should be a very easy thing to do, and honestly I tried everything I could find on the internet on how to make this and still doesn’t work. Please help.

I have:
middleman 3.3.10 and middleman-blog 3.5.3, the templates I use index.html.erb layout.erb tag.html.erb etc out of the box, original, no modifications. The only thing I added, in order to achieve this navigation was this piece of code(like here) in layout.erb.

<ul>
    <li>
      <% prev_article = current_article.previous_article %>
        <% if prev_article %>
        <a href="#{prev_article.url}" rel="prev" title="Previous article: #{prev_article.title}"> Previous </a>
        <% end %>
    </li>
    <li>
      <% next_article = current_article.next_article %>
        <% if next_article %>
        <a href="#{next_article.url}" rel="next" title="Next article: #{next_article.title}"> Next </a>
        <% end %>
    </li>
    </ul>

and everything crashes.

thanks as soon as I have this figured out I swear to make a how-to blog post on my site about it.
