Getting Started with lectureSite

annoporci il y a 10 ans • mis à jour il y a 10 ans • 3
I'm getting started with the lectureSite template. I have several comments and questions.

https://github.com/slidify/lectureSite/blob/gh-pages/index.Rmd

1. First off, a big thank you for slidify and the other wonderful packages, and thanks for providing templates.

2. In the lectureSite template, I suggest you link to http://slidify.userecho.com/, if that is indeed where you would like users to be directed when they have basic questions. I was initially looking at the github repo and all I could figure out was how to open an 'issue', but since my questions are merely about how to get started, not really issues, it didn't seem to be the right place to comment. Then google took me to slidify.userecho.com. This is the 'official' place, right? Are there other recommended places for questions about slidify?

2. (and this is my most pressing question at this time) You write 'all you need to do is to run blogify(".") from the root'. I imagine that means to ``setwd()`` to where the ``.Rmd`` file is. But this gives ``blogify(".")
Error: could not find function "blogify"`` I googled for blogify, but it wasn't clear if I was missing a package or something else, so I'm asking here first.

3. I'd appreciate help on how to set up the 'edit' feature at ``prose.io`` . I have set up a page, linked it to my github, but being new to this, I don't know what path to set ``http://prose.io/#{{site.github.etc``

4. Lastly, a comment in passing, you need to number with a leading 0 if you want 'Lecture 09' to come before 'Lecture 10', perhaps you can mention it in passing in the template. Or suggest a way to achieve an arbitrary order for lectures without numbers, e.g. I guess passing a list works, but at any rate an example would be useful in the template.

I can't seem to be able to edit my question, so I'll comment here. About point 2. above, perhaps I was missing the ``slidifyLibraries``. I still get an error message, but it's now about knitr, so in a way more promising:

library("devtools")
install_github(c("slidify", "slidifyLibraries"), "ramnathv", ref = "dev")

library("slidifyLibraries")
blogify(".")
Error in knit(inputFile, outputFile, envir = envir) :
argument "envir" is missing, with no default

On a hunch, I installed 'poirot' of which I heard about on github from someone who experienced a similar error message.

https://github.com/ramnathv/poirot/issues/19

install_github('poirot', 'ramnathv')
library("poirot")

I still get an error, but it does seem to have gone a lot further this time around.

So my question now is: did I need to install 'poirot' ? There is no mention of it there:

On point 4 above, here is an example:

```{r echo = F, results = 'asis'}
lectures <- dir('lectures', full = TRUE)
titles <- c("This is about X", "This is about Y", "This is about Z"])
links <- paste0(seq_along(lectures), ". ",
"[", basename(lectures), " : ", titles, "]", "(", lectures, "/index.html)"
)
writeLines(links)
```
so you can store the lectures in directories named by numbers, e.g. "Lecture 01" and at the same time list a more detailed explanation of what the directory contains.

This might be useful to have in the template.

I'm going to guess that ``blogify(".")`` creates only the first 'contents' page linking to the lectures and that each lecture has to be produced from within its directory each at a time. I'm going to assume that 'poirot' is needed and that not mentioning it was an oversight. So now, my question is: how can I share 'common' styles across the different lectures? Each has its own assets/css, can I customize a 'master' css that would apply to all sub-lectures? I'm going to ask on s.o.
