No Archive page generate

[bbgky]

Hi, here is my repo:
https://github.com/bbgky/bbgky.github.io
what i want is to generate archive pages. i did what the doc suggested:
1. in the Gemfile, i did

gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem 'jekyll-sitemap'
  gem 'jekyll-paginate'
  gem 'jekyll-archives'
end

2. in the _config.yml i add

gems:
  - jekyll-archives

jekyll-archives:
      enabled: all
      layout: archive
      permalinks:
        year: /:year/
        month: /:year/:month/
        day: /:year/:month/:day/
        tag: /tag/:name/
        category: /category/:name/

I add a archive.html in the _layouts folder, with the code(copy paste from configuration.md):

<h1>Archive of posts from {{ page.date | date: "%B %Y" }}</h1>

<ul class="posts">
{% for post in page.posts %}
  <li>
    <span class="post-date">{{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}</span>
    <a class="post-link" href="{{ post.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
  </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

I add a menu archive in the host with layout 'archive'. but it seems it is still not working?
It only shows 'Archive of posts from' without the files

What did i do wrong? and what am I missing to use jekyll-archives?

Thanks, I really appreciate your help

You have specified layout: archive, have you provided an archive layout?

@pathawks Hi, thanks for the comment. i haven't provide an archive layout. because i don't know how to do it. i read the layout.md in the doc, but i don't know where shall i put the code. do you have to write your own layout file? where do you put them? can i have a look?

[bbgky]

by the waylayout: archive is recommended in the config.md file, so i
thought it will be generated by the plugin.
or they should write the instruction more clear.

@bbgky You are right, the documentation needs to be more clear.

@pathawks Hi, i tried to create a archive.htmlin _layout folder, and i copy past the code from the configuration.md :

<h1>Archive of posts from {{ page.date | date: "%B %Y" }}</h1>

<ul class="posts">
{% for post in page.posts %}
  <li>
    <span class="post-date">{{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}</span>
    <a class="post-link" href="{{ post.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ post.title }}</a>
  </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>

It only shows 'Archive of posts from' without the files

I am also getting a similar error message

     Build Warning: Layout '{"year"=>"year-archive", "month"=>"month-archive"}' requested in archive/2014/index.html does not exist.
     Build Warning: Layout '{"year"=>"year-archive", "month"=>"month-archive"}' requested in archive/2014/09/index.html does not exist.
     Build Warning: Layout '{"year"=>"year-archive", "month"=>"month-archive"}' requested in archive/2016/index.html does not exist.
     Build Warning: Layout '{"year"=>"year-archive", "month"=>"month-archive"}' requested in archive/2016/08/index.html does not exist.

It is just because of the poor instruction which is not for beginners.
what you need is create several *.html files yourself in the _layout
directory, which is not mentioned at all.
After I create those layout files, there is no building error, but i am
still struggling how to show the archive pages in the home page, which is
also not mentioned at all!

did that same error

cd _layouts
tom@tom-HP-Pavilion-10-TS-Notebook-PC:~/blog/_layouts$ ls
default.html  month-archive.html  page.html  post.html  search_post.html  tag-archive.html  year-archive.html

@bbgky I think your looking for this https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/#displaying-an-index-of-posts

Is there any resolution to this? I am seeing a similar behavior where archives show up correctly in my local environment but not on the github hosted site.

[ashmaroli]

@AdiThakker GitHub Pages doesn't support this plugin.
You'll have to resort to building locally (or elsewhere) and pushing the contents of _site to the
gh-pages branch.
