Fix homepage buttons 404ing on the project site#38
Merged
Conversation
The Timetable and Start the workshop buttons in the index about block rendered as absolute root paths (/timetable.html), which 404 on the project site served under /iddconf2026/. Quarto does not apply the base path to about-page links. Point them at the full site URL so they resolve correctly. Verified by rendering index.qmd.

Problem
The Timetable and Start the workshop buttons on the homepage 404.
They live in the
index.qmdabout:block, and Quarto renders about-page links as absolute root paths (e.g./timetable.html) without applying the site base path. On the project site served under/iddconf2026/,/timetable.htmlresolves tonfidd.github.io/timetable.html→ 404. (The navbar and inline links work because Quarto resolves those as project-relative./timetable.html.)Fix
Point the two about-page buttons at the full site URL (
https://nfidd.github.io/iddconf2026/...) so they resolve correctly regardless of the base-path handling.Verified by rendering
index.qmd: both buttons now emit the full working URLs and no root-relative/timetable.html//sessions/...refs remain.This was opened by a bot. Please ping @seabbs for any questions.
