Failed to build page - JekyllGalleryTag

Question

I've set up a image gallery, with sunset pictures, which works fine locally, when generated with jekyll.

But I can't push a new file sunset.html because of some errors in a liquid tag (JekyllGalleryTag).

I can't find the reason why and google yielded no results.

My images is located at :/images/sunset

I have this in my _config.yml:

name: Nillers Skriblerier
markdown: redcarpet
pygments: true
url: http://nielsrasmus.github.io
description: Min egen blog
gallerytag:
   dir: images/sunset
   url: /images/sunset
   thumb_width: 150
   thumb_height: 150
   columns: 4

This is the sunset.html page:

---
layout: default
title: Solnedgange
---

<div class="posts">
<br>

<h2>Solnedgange</h2>

{% gallery solnedgange %}
cliffhouse2008.jpg:: Billedet er taget fra restauranten “Cliff house” i det vestlige San Fransisco. 2008

{% endgallery %}

</div>

The funny thing is that JekyllGalleryTag is generating thumbnails in my _site directory (suppose it should?)

I keep getting this message from github:

The page build failed with the following error:

The tag `gallery` in `sunset.html` is not a recognized Liquid tag.

But it works perfectly fine locally on my machine with jekyll??

Anyone have the same issue?

Answer 1

Jekyll on Github Pages does not run custom plugins. As mentioned on that FAQ, an option would be to build locally, and push the generated site to Github Pages.

JekyllGalleryTag is a plugin which would not be run. But also you do not have it checked in. (There is no _plugins folder currently in your repository)

The images are not being generated by Jekyll running on Github Pages, but rather you have them checked in explicitly.
