plugin doesn't work with pagination

thanks for this plugin. it was working perfectly until i turned on pagination in my jekyll 1.4.2 site. Adding any pagination numeral to _config.ym, say, paginaion:5 immediately causes an error on building the site. Generating... error: no implicit conversion of nil into String. Removing your plugin makes this error disappear.

I am far from a programmer and I'm at a loss.

Thanks for making your amazing plugin available

Hi. Let me look into the problem. I haven't used pagination in my sites so haven't realized this.

+1 for pagination.

[shigeya]

OK. It must be easy to fix but I don't have spar time to work on this till weekend. Let me work on this in this weekend.

Not sure if it will help you, but I just found this:

https://github.com/ilyakhokhryakov/jekyll-tagging-pagination

... for tags, but it's pretty easy to modify for categories too.

Thanks for sharing your code @shigeya!!!!! 👍

Hi. I guess that it looks like this is not this plugin's problem. Could you try run jekyll with --trace flag, provide the output? you can post to gist.github.com and paste the link here. Note that in my environment adding paginate: 5 do not cause error. Also, I assume you're configuring paginate not pagination in _config.yaml (ref: http://jekyllrb.com/docs/pagination/)

Oh yah? Nice! Personally, I saw this issue and assumed pagination didn't work. Thanks for testing @shigeya!

I'm seeing the same issue with paginate set in Jekyll 1.4.2.

[shigeya]

@gpxl @mhulse As I said, I can't reproduce here. So, please provide stack trace, by running jekyll with --trace option and provide the trace as gist. I'm willing to help. If the trace is not large, you can directly paste here too. thanks.

[gpxl]

Here's a gist with the output I'm seeing as well as the _config.yml file I'm using. Not sure how much it will help since it doesn't trace back to the plugin directly. I ended up rolling my own plugin, but I'm up to test a fix if you need.

[shigeya]

Thanks. hmm. Right, it looks like the exception is not directly related to my plugin...

[greyshi]

The error arises only when your plugin is in use. With it enabled and paginate set in config.yml, I get this error:
Generating... error: no implicit conversion of nil into String. Use --trace to view backtrace

Disabling pagination or the plugin both resolve the error. Here's the stacktrace.

Thanks. Let me look into this, but please don't expect answer soon. (I'm really busy at this moment..)

I have the same problem when I use another plugin jekyll-monthly-archive-plugin
with jekyll 1.4.2. When I change jekyll to version 1.2.0，the error "Generating... error: no implicit conversion of nil into String. " disappears.

[shigeya]

Ah, @minixalpha, thanks. Good point. I haven't stated about the version I'm using. I'm using 1.4 and later, and only tested against 1.4 series.
