undefined method `generate'

[bagwaa]

I did the following :-

1. I dropped this file inside my _plugins folder (category_pagination.rb)
2. I created two directories (blog and screencast)
3. I added an index.html file in each folder which contained ...

{% for post in paginator.posts %}

....

I then run jekyll build

This is the error I get back during the build process ...

Generating... error: undefined method `generate' for #Jekyll::Pagination:0x007fcd64121270

Same for me.

I'm running jekyll 2.0.3 and heres the customised code I'm using to achieve pagination by post category:

module Jekyll
  module Paginate
    class Pagination < Generator
      # This generator is safe from arbitrary code execution.
      safe true

      # This generator should be passive with regard to its execution
      priority :lowest

      # Generate paginated pages if necessary.
      #
      # site - The Site.
      #
      # Returns nothing.
      def generate(site)
        if Pager.pagination_enabled?(site)
          if template = template_page(site)
            paginate(site, template)
          else
            Jekyll.logger.warn "Pagination:", "Pagination is enabled, but I couldn't find " +
            "an index.html page to use as the pagination template. Skipping pagination."
          end
        end
      end

      # Paginates the blog's posts. Renders the index.html file into paginated
      # directories, e.g.: page2/index.html, page3/index.html, etc and adds more
      # site-wide data.
      #
      # site - The Site.
      # page - The index.html Page that requires pagination.
      #
      # {"paginator" => { "page" => <Number>,
      #                   "per_page" => <Number>,
      #                   "posts" => [<Post>],
      #                   "total_posts" => <Number>,
      #                   "total_pages" => <Number>,
      #                   "previous_page" => <Number>,
      #                   "next_page" => <Number> }}
      def paginate(site, page)
        category = page.dir.split('/').last
        if category != nil and site.site_payload['site']['categories'].has_key? category
            # If we're in a category's folder, paginate by category.
            all_posts = site.site_payload['site']['categories'][category]
        else
            all_posts = site.site_payload['site']['posts']
        end

        pages = Pager.calculate_pages(all_posts, site.config['paginate'].to_i)
        (1..pages).each do |num_page|
          pager = Pager.new(site, num_page, all_posts, pages)
          if num_page > 1
            newpage = Page.new(site, site.source, page.dir, page.name)
            newpage.pager = pager
            newpage.dir = Pager.paginate_path(site, num_page)
            site.pages << newpage
          else
            page.pager = pager
          end
        end
      end

      # Static: Fetch the URL of the template page. Used to determine the
      #         path to the first pager in the series.
      #
      # site - the Jekyll::Site object

      # Returns the url of the template page
      def self.first_page_url(site)
        if page = Pagination.new.template_page(site)
          page.url
        else
          nil
        end
      end

      # Public: Find the Jekyll::Page which will act as the pager template
      #
      # site - the Jekyll::Site object
      #
      # Returns the Jekyll::Page which will act as the pager template
      def template_page(site)
        site.pages.dup.select do |page|
          Pager.pagination_candidate?(site.config, page)
        end.sort do |one, two|
          two.path.size <=> one.path.size
        end.first
      end

    end
  end
end

@benxtan When using your code, the only pagination that works is the one defined by paginate_path in _config.yml. Are there are config settings you changed to support multiple paginated categories?

[benxtan]

Hmm, good question. In my case, I only needed one of my categories to have pages.
