Leaflet map as sticky not working

[lmforslund]

Hi, we are trying to publish a closerad html but cannot get the stickys to work as anticipated. We have a leaflet map and the output looks ok when published locally, but when we publish to github the section and the sticky is just regular text? Have tried different solutions but none is working so far. We cannot use git for publishing so the rendered file is just uploaded to our page. It's a file called "Ortsstruktur.html" https://github.com/Region-Vastmanland/rapporter?tab=readme-ov-file

Hi @lmforslund! When you render a single document with Quarto, it produces an HTML file, as well as a folder of dependencies (CSS, JavaScript, etc).

So, for example, rendering Ortsstruktur.qmd produces Ortsstruktur.html and the Ortsstruktur_files folder. You'll need both the HTML file and the folder on your server if you want the page to be presented correctly!

Thank you for the effort you put into this :) I have tried to re-publish all the files to a new, dedicated directory but get the same problem as you had, the "ortsstruktur_files/libs" is a 404 . I'm not sure how to correct this, but this must be the problem? Thanks again anyway, we're excited about using closeread and really want this to work, once you've seen the correct version the version without the stickies seems dull :)

Did you include the xlsx file in the directory?

A good test here is to replicate what I tried: clone the repo onto your desktop from github then try to render locally. That will test to see if you have all of the dependencies in place. If it renders, just fine, then the important thing is that you're able to push the stuff under _files up to github and then to githubpages.

Good luck!

Another point of confirmation you could do is to run a different preview web server before you send everything up.

For example, if you have Python 3 installed, you could do:

quarto render

python3 -m http.server

And if the page is previewing as expected, then everything should correctly be either alongside the Quarto document or in the _files directory. If there's a problem here, it probably indicates that an external file is not being correctly referenced in the Quarto doc.

If you then make sure that the HTML, the _files directory and any other files you reference (like the XLSX) get copied to your web server, you should be good to go 😊

Happy to report that everything seems to be working now :) We did a "mental restart" and put everything up again using Github actions and now we're happy with the result: https://region-vastmanland.github.io/rapporter/Ortsstruktur.html (still a work in progress though)
Seems like the xlsx file had no impact in our case.
Thanks again for a really nice plugin and the support here.

Glad to hear it!
