undefined method '[]' and undefined method 'gsub' issues

[justinmarsan]

After fighting with the plugin for a bit, I finally managed to make it work the way I wanted.

I believe the docs are un-clear and the experience could be improved when getting started, especially for non-ruby dev who can't really make sense of the errors...

The docs lead me to believe I didn't need anything in my config file, as long as I kept the default layout filename, didn't want slug or anything else. That wasn't the case, I got undefined method until I added that.

I then got a gsub method missing error because I tried to use the actual name of the category to test things instead of passing a variable to generate the link, that wouldn't work.

So if anyone is getting stuck too, here's what my config file looks like 👍

# Categories
category_archive:
  slugify: true
  path: /blog/category

And this is how I display the links for all of my categories 👍

<ul class="sidebar-categories">
    {% for cat in site.categories %}
    <li>{% categorylink cat[0] %}This is a link to foo{% endcategorylink %}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

Hope this helps and when someone has some time to make the readme clearer, it'd probably be nice too.

Thanks for the work either way, I'm glad I managed to make it work after all !

Thanks for feedback. I will update documentation as you suggested.
(sorry for late response - I couldn't manage to have time to review this last six months:< )
