147 PointsHelp creating defaults for _drafts
I am pretty sure I understand how to create defaults in Jekyll, but for some reason it's not working for my drafts.
here is my code:
In treehouse-meetups.md
title: Treehouse Meetups
category: meetups
This is a post about all the awesome Treehouse meetups out there!
in _config.yml
defaults:
-
scope:
path: "" # an empty string here means all files in the project
type: "posts" # previously post in Jekyll 2.2.
values:
layout: "post"
author: "Mike Hovet"
category: "conferences"
comments: true
-
scope:
path: "" # an empty string here means all files in the project
type: "pages" # previously post in Jekyll 2.2.
values:
layout: "page"
scope:
path: "" # an empty string here means all files in the project
type: "drafts" # previously `post` in Jekyll 2.2.
values:
layout: "post"

8,200 PointsDid you ever get this figured out? I'm wondering what the exact error is that you're seeing. I've more or less used the same format as you and it's working for me - here's what I've used:
# Default Settings
defaults:
-
scope:
path: "" # an empty string here means all files in the project
type: "posts" # previously `post` in Jekyll 2.2.
values:

layout: "post"

scope:
path: "" # an empty string here means all files in the project
type: "pages" # previously `post` in Jekyll 2.2.

type: "drafts" # previously `post` in Jekyll 2.2.
