Errors on site without expected parameters set

[paskal]

Hello!

$subj, when trying to run this theme against my blog source I get following:

Building sites … ERROR 2018/03/20 20:35:50 Error while rendering "section" in "": template: theme/_default/list.html:2:3: executing "theme/_default/list.html" at <partial "page_header...>: error calling partial: template: theme/partials/page_header.html:5:10: executing "theme/partials/page_header.html" at <$.Scratch.Add>: error calling Add: Can't apply the operator to the values

The reason is likely some absent .Site. parameter but you can't tell it from error message, I guess input parameters handling could be improved. cboettig/hugo-now-ui#9 might be used as reference point.

victoriadrake/hugo-theme-sam#3 is an example of how this can be fixed.

Hello @paskal,

due to this issue the generation of a demo for your theme at https://themes.gohugo.io/ failed. Recently, we began a "spring cleaning" and are about to remove themes that fail to build and / or are unmaintained.

It would be great to see your theme added again. To do so please let us know when the issue has been resolved. For further information please have a look at gohugoio/hugoThemes#479.

@digitalcraftsman, it's not my theme. But if you came there anyway, please consider merging my changes to your themes, which I've prepared some time ago and which got zero attention so far:
digitalcraftsman/hugo-cactus-theme#52
digitalcraftsman/hugo-creative-theme#40
digitalcraftsman/hugo-icarus-theme#119
digitalcraftsman/hugo-minimalist-theme#14
digitalcraftsman/hugo-steam-theme#25
digitalcraftsman/hugo-strata-theme#49
