Failure to load plugins in another website about digital-garden-jekyll-template

[maximevaillancourt]

Hi Tommi! As the error message and the first line of the stack trace show, something is going wrong on the 7th line of the /_plugins/bidirectional_links_generator.rb file in your garden.

This is the line:

digital-garden-jekyll-template/_plugins/bidirectional_links_generator.rb

Line 7 in becf9f3

all_notes = site.collections['notes'].docs

As you can see, on this line there's a call to the docs function, but it fails as described by the error message:

NoMethodError: undefined method `docs' for nil:NilClass

This means that whatever docs was called on, in this case site.collections['notes'], is nil (is nothing), so the call fails.

This is likely because you do not have a notes collection in your site. To resolve this, add the following lines to your _config.yml file:

digital-garden-jekyll-template/_config.yml

Lines 19 to 22 in 82995de

	collections:
	notes:
	output: true
	permalink: /:slug

Then, create a _notes/ directory at the root of your project (/Users/xplosionmind/tommi.space/_notes/), and add your Markdown notes in there.

I'll close this as it's not an issue with the template itself, but we can continue discussing here. Let me know if this helps!
