Is some additional plugin configuration required prior to the standard bundle and rake site:publish?

[ericpeters0n]

Evidently jekyll-assets is not doing it's thing in the out of the box configuration...

@ericpeters0n You have to create the plugins/ext.rb file add the require 'jekyll-assets' line to it, as mentioned in the documentation of jekyll-assets (https://github.com/ixti/jekyll-assets#how-to-use-jekyll-assets). At first the _plugins folder mentioned in the docs confused me too :(

I've renamed _plugins/_ext.rb to _plugins/ext.rb and ran jekyll build --safe. It still fails with Unknown tag error. Jekyll build on Github fails as well for the same reason. Is there a way to make it work?

[nortbotics]

I'm having the same issue here. Works when I build locally but github pages doesn't like it. Even with the require in the ext.rb file.

Yep, I'm having the same issue here. Any ideas?

[nortbotics]

Yes, the problem is jekyll-assets is not supported on github.io

You can only run a few supported plugins on github.io; and jekyll-assets isn't one of them.

I never found a way to workaround it.

Shoot well thanks for the note in any case.

@nortbotics @Camel this seems to be a functional workaround: http://ixti.net/software/2013/01/28/using-jekyll-plugins-on-github-pages.html

Ah gotcha thanks a bunch
