jekyll_alias_generator's Issues

repo structure change so we can use git submodule to install the plugin

If you would put the plugin in the root of your repo we could use all add it by running git submodule add git://... from inside the _plugins directory. Now this would put it too deep.
Keeping the .rb file in the root worked fine with other jekyll plugins.

If alias is a number, ruby gets confused -- can't convert Fixnum into String (TypeError)

Hi,

If the alias is a pure number, ruby gets made. The hack is to put the alias in quotes, but I'm sure there is a better way. (Sadly I know next to nothing about ruby, else I'd submit a patch).

Maintained?

Is this still maintained? It's linked from the Jekyll Plugins page. If not, it would be great to know which fork is best maintained so we can get the docs updated. Thanks!

Please Create RubyGem

It would be nice to have this as a Gem. I was able to create one in a few hours with no prior experience creating a RubyGem.

jekyll 3.0.0 deprecation warning

After upgrading to Jekyll 3.0.0 I get the following deprecation warning:

Deprecation: Collection#each should be called on the #docs array directly.
Called by alias_generator.rb:42:in `process_posts'.

Just to clarify, the plugin still works as expected.

Pages should not be processed differently than posts.

When generating aliases for pages in the root dir like /about.md (the actual file, not the alias), the plugin generates the wrong forwarding file. I fixed this by deleting the process_pages method and calling process_posts instead (and for semantics renaming it process_posts_and_pages).

However, it seems like there was a reason to have different methods for posts and pages. I'd be happy to provide a pull request, once I understand your motivation.

alias_generator causes stack level too deep error with jekyll-2.1.0

I'm getting ~/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/jekyll-2.1.0/lib/jekyll/cleaner.rb:59: stack level too deep (SystemStackError) while generating a Jekyll page and was able to reproduce the error with a minimal setup (joelmeyerhamme/jekyll_alias_issue#1):

jekyll new jekyll_alias_issue && cd jekyll_alias_issue
mkdir _plugins
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsmango/jekyll_alias_generator/master/_plugins/alias_generator.rb\
  > _plugins/alias_generator.rb
rm *.html *.md
cat <<EOF > index.md

---
layout: page
title: Index
alias: "/index/"

This is the base Jekyll theme.

Stack level too deep error

It was working fine on jekyll 1.4.3... Now I updated ruby to 2.0 and jekyll to 2.1.1 and getting the following error
