I’m trying to upgrade my blog after a long time of inactivity. Most things worked out of the box however I’m having trouble with accessing blog articles. I have two blogs, one named “articles” and another named “essays”. Here is my config.rb:
# blogging
activate :blog do |blog|
# This will add a prefix to all links, template references and source paths
blog.name ="articles"
blog.prefix = "articles"
blog.permalink = "{year}/{month}/{day}/{title}.html"
blog.custom_collections = {
category: {
link: '/categories/{category}.html',
template: '/articles_category.html'
}
}
# Matcher for blog source files
blog.sources = "{year}-{month}-{day}-{title}.html"
blog.layout = "post"
blog.summary_separator = /(READMORE)/
blog.summary_length = 250
blog.year_link = "{year}.html"
blog.month_link = "{year}/{month}.html"
blog.day_link = "{year}/{month}/{day}.html"
blog.default_extension = ".markdown"
end
# Essays
activate :blog do |blog|
# This will add a prefix to all links, template references and source paths
blog.name ="essays"
blog.prefix = "essays"
blog.permalink = "{year}/{month}/{day}/{title}.html"
blog.custom_collections = {
category: {
link: '/categories/{category}.html',
template: '/essays_category.html'
}
}
blog.sources = "{year}-{month}-{day}-{title}.html"
blog.layout = "essay"
blog.summary_separator = /(READMORE)/
blog.summary_length = 250
blog.year_link = "{year}.html"
blog.month_link = "{year}/{month}.html"
blog.day_link = "{year}/{month}/{day}.html"
blog.default_extension = ".markdown"
end
The index looks like this:

%span{:class => "project_description"}
Enhanced tarsnap notifications.
However, the articles are empty. I’m not getting an error or exception, meaning no HAML syntax error, the articles object exists and is a list of objects, which have the methods, I tested article.methods.sort.join(', ') returns the expected set of methods, but the article titles do not get displayed. Here is a sample HTML result block:
<p class='hpost'>
<i class='fa fa-pencil'></i>
<a href="/articles/2016/10/01/security-policies-for-remote-workers.html"></a>
<span class='frdate'>
<time datetime='2016-10-01'>2016 Oct 01</time>
</span>
</p>
As you can see the article.title is empty. My directory source layout is like:
