Objects not publishing #57

Closed hhollow2 closed 2 years ago

hhollow2 commented 2 years ago

I apologize if this has been asked already.

I'm using this guide: https://collectionbuilder.github.io/collectionbuilder-gh/about.html

I've followed all the directions here, but the objects that I've uploaded are not being published. Only the objects from the template are showing up. I've compressed the image files for my own objects, double checked that the file names match, and adjusted file types, and still have not resolved the issue.

@hhollow2 I assume you are talking about your collection Holloway-Crystal-Collection?

Looking at that repository I currently see two issues that are preventing the site from building (it looks like you are in process of trying to debug things, so sorry if this changes):

  1. Your collection metadata is not set in your _config.yml--see the docs about setting metadata. The current repository doesn't look like it has any metadata file added in _data right now (looks like maybe you deleted one?), you you might want to check the metadata steps as well.
  2. Your collection images are in the root of your repository--> they should be moved to the "objects" folder, since that is where the template is looking for the images. Any item images you want to include should always be in "objects" folder only.

Let me know if this helps! Good luck
