Posting xaringan presentations on blogdown...how do I display it?

[howardbaek]

Hello there,

I'm working on posting my xaringan slides on my blogdown: http://insidethetv.rbind.io/

I've followed @apreshill 's instructions here

Specifically, I've done the following steps successfully:

1. Go to your blogdown project’s root directory and create a new folder called R
2. In that R/ directory, create a new R script called build.R that contains 1 line of code that reads: blogdown::build_dir('static')
3. Add and save Rmd file(s) to your blogdown project in the static/ directory.

• In fact, you can add Rmd files within sub-directories such as static/slides/ , static/pdf/ , and/or static/html/

4. Serve your site

I've saved my slides in static/slides and have served the site without any error. However, if you take a look at my site I don't have a section for talks because I've disabled it a long time ago. So, I don't remember how to enable it again!

Furthermore, related to this question is how do I display the slides in the talks section? Or if there is an easier way, please let me know! I'm totally lost

Thanks

I'm not sure I'm following exactly what you are trying to do. But your slides are viewable here: http://insidethetv.rbind.io/slides/animating-epv.html#1

And I can see them in a "talks" section: http://insidethetv.rbind.io/talk/example/ (perhaps you figured it out after posting here?)

Yes I figured it out. Thanks!

Glad it worked out !

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
