Fails to render pages, paginator.pages not found in context

[zmitchell]

I put two posts in the content directory and got the following error:

Error: Failed to render section ''
Reason: Failed to render 'after-dark/templates/index.html'
Reason: Variable `paginator.pages` not found in context while rendering 'after-dark/templates/index.html'

That's literally all I've done, so maybe there are extra steps to get things up and running that I'm not aware of.

I forgot in the README to mention this is a theme meant for paginated content >_>, I just added:

This theme requires your index section (`content/_index.md`) to be paginated to work:

paginate_by = 5

The posts should therefore be in directly under the `content` folder.

to it.

I added the paginate_by = 5 in the config.toml
just added one post, keeping the default of the meta data. I still get the same error.
Anything I might have forgotten?

this is how my config.toml looks

# The URL the site will be built for
base_url = "https://megzari.com"

# Whether to automatically compile all Sass files in the sass directory
compile_sass = true

# Whether to do syntax highlighting
# Theme can be customised by setting the `highlight_theme` variable to a theme supported by Gutenberg
highlight_code = true

# Whether to build a search index to be used later on by a JavaScript library
build_search_index = true

paginate_by = 5
theme = "after-dark"
taxonomies = [
    # You can enable/disable RSS
    {name = "categories", rss = true},
    {name = "tags", rss = true},
]
after_dark_menu = [
    {url = "$BASE_URL", name = "Home"},
    {url = "$BASE_URL/categories", name = "Categories"},
    {url = "$BASE_URL/tags", name = "Tags"},
]

and this is how my post looks

Some content

[Keats]

paginate_by = 5 is not meant to be in config.toml, it should be in your _index.md file like https://github.com/getzola/after-dark/blob/master/content/_index.md

[happysalada]

ok I tried to look into that contents directory and render just that.
I put a some_article.md file with

+++
title = "What is Gutenberg"
date = 2017-09-24

categories = ["Hello world"]

then I added a _index.md file with

+++

paginate_by = 5

and now it gives me the error

Error: Failed to render pager 1
Reason: Failed to render 'after-dark/templates/index.html': error while rendering macro `post_macros::page_in_list`
Reason: Macro namespace `self` was not found in template `after-dark/templates/index.html`. Have you maybe forgotten to import it, or misspelled it?

did I forget something?

I think you're running into a bug in gutenberg 0.4.2 there :(
It should work with 0.4.1 or wait a bit as I'll release 0.5.0 this week and will update the themes to ensure they work on 0.5.0 today or tomorrow

[ad-si]

paginate_by = 5 is not meant to be in config.toml, it should be in your _index.md file like https://github.com/getzola/after-dark/blob/master/content/_index.md

Just tripped over this. I also put it in the config.toml. This should be clarified in the docs…
