base url

[iamciera]

For some reason I could not get the baseurl for the posts to work correctly. So I cheated and added the projects name at all the links with the liquid tags {{ base.url }} should be. Can anyone help?

Not exactly sure, but in _config.yml it is currently set to /test. My fork didn't work until I set it to root (i.e. baseurl: /). I believe that since this is being served out of the gh-pages branch, the root would resolve at http://ropensci.github.io/reproducibility-guide, which is what we want.

I am sure there are others with a lot more expertise than I who can weigh in.

Yup, the github repo name (i.e. the local path) would be sufficient for hosting via gh-pages, baseurl: /reproducibility-guide, so that you could build the site locally and view it at (using the default build port) localhost:4000/reproducibility-guide/index.html, as well as online as @jhollist indicates.

A quick glance shows that index.html isn't using {{base.url}} to link the posts though, and has hardwired reproducibility-guide before {{post.url}}. Guess we should fix that too.

[iamciera]

Yeah. I couldn't seem to get it to work in another repo so I hardwired all the links. I changed it back to how I believe it should work, which I believe is what you guys are talking about, but now the links don't work.

[jhollist]

I think I've got it. I'll submit a PR shortly with

set baseurl: /reproducibility-guide

index.html with {{ site.baseurl }} instead of hardwired

default.html layout with home link pointing to the baseurl as well.
